Terms and Conditions

Once you book with us all information will be emailed to the registered email address, included in this email will be confirmation of your booking, a receipt of your booking and all pick up details. It is essential you keep the details on this email as it will hold vital information for the day you travel, i.e telephone number of the company, if you struggle to find your driver due to not keeping this information no refund will be given.

Once the booking has been confirmed by us unless you notify us of any amendments or cancellations it is your responsibility to double check your booking details via the receipt sent to your email address. We will not take any responsibility for incorrect booking details as we encourage you to check via your receipt or to notify us of any changes no matter how small they are.

We are not held responsible for missed flights. We encourage our customers to allow 2-3 hours travelling time before checking in for flights as you may encounter traffic, accidents, breakdowns, limited weather conditions or any other unforeseen time consuming problems. If you feel 2-3 hours is too much waiting time you can book any time less than this however if you experience any of the above mentioned problems we will not take any responsibility.

Alan’s Airport Transfers advises all of our customers to have something in the sense of travel insurance prior to booking your journey.

Any customers who do not wait for the driver and take alternative transport will not be given a refund under any circumstances as this is a reservation which requires a minimum of 24 hours’ notice of cancellations.

We demand the exact pick up time or arrival time for your journey not the flights departing time. It is always better if you provide us with the flight number and where the flight is flying in from; it’s an easier way of monitoring your flight and ensuring we meet you at the exact time of arrival. This then allows us to see if there has been any serious delay; it is always good if you contact us to notify us of delays as we may not always pick up on this till nearer the expected arrival time.

Any reservations made on 24th, 25th, 26th, 31st December and 1st January will encounter extra charges due to these days being a public holiday. Other days may also incur extra charges but these will be posted on our website prior to the date to notify you.

Pricing Policy

Prices for journeys are worked out via the distance, the time of travel and the amount of passengers is taken into account as this will reflect on the size of the vehicle required.

With your booking you receive the 1st hour’s waiting time included however, if you go over the 1 hour waiting time there will be added charges. The charge is £20 per hour, as an example if you were delayed by an extra half hour you would still incur a charge of £10.

Tolls

Bridge tolls are never added onto the online quote system. If you continue to book your journey without these being added the driver on the day will ask you to pay for the toll charges or will endeavour to take payment from the card used to make the booking. Bridge toll prices will vary.

London Congestion Charge

For all bookings made going into the London congestion zone between the hours of 7am and 18pm Monday to Friday excluding bank holidays you will incur a £10 congestion charge, as this is not taken when you make your booking it will need to be paid either via the card originally used to make your booking or you may pay the driver cash on the day.

Cancellation Policy

Alan’s Airport Transfers will accept any cancellation made within 24 hours’ notice, if you cancel with less notice than this it will incur a charge off your refunded amount, the charge is normally 50%. The cancellation needs to be made via email so we can verify who you are and send you confirmation of the cancellation. If for any reason you do not receive a cancellation confirmation email you need to contact us immediately on 0800 046 3101 as this will mean we have not received your cancellation request. If this is the case we cannot be held responsible, which will mean you did not attend your reserved journey so no refund will be given.

Any cancellations made on the day of travel or after the journey no refund will be given no matter what the case may be. If any other circumstances occur please contact Alan’s Airport Transfers customer services by post at the registered address on the website.

We finally reserve the right to record some telephone calls for training purposes.

Availability

If you are making a booking with less than 24 hours notice you will need to call us on 0800 046 3101 to check the availability and to guarantee your airport transfer, we will not be held responsible for any delay in your booking if availability hasn't been confirmed by telephone prior to the online confirmation.
