    10. Cancellation and Refund Policy

  10. In the event of a "No-show" by the client, or if a booking is cancelled by the Customer within 14 days of the start of the period of hire, any and all monies paid will be totally non-refundable.
  11. If a booking is cancelled by the Customer prior to 14 days of the start of the period of hire, any deposits paid will be lost, other payments will be refunded.
  12. The company cars are maintained to a high standard, however breakdowns can occur on rare occasions. Should this happen the company will arrange a substitute vehicle. For all weddings the company has a vehicle on standby at all times. No refund will be payable unless the contract cannot be fulfilled with a replacement classic car.
  13. Where substitution of vehicles is made by the company, should the cars be unsuitable for the client and the service has not commenced, the company will refund in full any payments made for vehicle hire.
  14. Every effort will be made by the Company to ensure that the vehicle(s) arrive on time and reach destinations on time. The Company shall not be held responsible or liable for any delays (and/or arising consequential losses) that occur beyond its control.
  15. The Chauffeur will travel by the most appropriate route on the day, unless instructed otherwise by the Customer when term (7) may apply.
  16. Although vehicles are fully insured for passenger and third party claims under British Law, Customer's properties are carried entirely at their own risk and the Company shall not be held responsible/liable for any loss/damage to such property.
  17. The Company and its Chauffeurs have the right to refuse to carry any passenger who is thought to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs and whose behaviour poses a threat either to the Chauffeur, the vehicle or any other passenger.
  18. The Company maintains a strict non-smoking policy in all its vehicles. It is now a legal requirement that passengers or the drivers are NOT allowed to smoke in the vehicles.
  19. Nothing contained in these terms and conditions can affect the Client's' statutory rights.
  20. If the hire exceeds the booked time, or is likely to exceed the booking time after completion of the itinerary, the driver(s) may at their discretion and after warning the client or the clients representative take their leave if the client chooses not to pay any additional charges in term (21) Or if the car is required for another booking - term (23).
  21. It is not company policy to book a vehicle for more than one event per day, but where a booking may constitute only part of a day i.e. an afternoon, the company may hire out the same vehicle in the evening for a second booking. Where this happens, the company will allow a 2 hour gap for the car to come back to the garage before going out again.
  22. Where payments are made by cheque, we reserve the right to charge an administration fee of £15.00 for any cheques returned by our bank to us for whatever reason.
  23. A Deposit is defined in this agreement as 'a payment given as a guarantee that an obligation will be met by the client '. In the event that fuel charges, road mileage charging, car road fund license or any other government taxation system comes into force in between your booking and the commencement of service, we reserve the right to re-negotiate the cost of the service to you. In the event that agreement cannot be reached, all monies paid by the client will be fully refunded out with terms 12 and 13 above. This would typically be a rise in costs greater than 10% for a booking made less than a year in advance.
