1- All bookings are subject to these Terms & Conditions. A booking is considered complete
and binding once you receive a confirmation from us, either verbally or in writing, and
we have received any required deposit from you. At this point, the deposit becomes nonrefundable.

2- In these conditions, “HireMinibus” refers to “Hireminibus.uk”

3- HireMinibus (or its agents, employees, or affiliates) will not be responsible for any
losses incurred by customers or passengers due to accidents or road traffic delays. Any
issues of this nature should be addressed between the group leader, the passengers, and
the contractor (driver). Please stay seated while the vehicle is moving.

4- HireMinibus does not provide any guarantees or promises about bookings, and no one is
authorized to make any on its behalf.

5- HireMinibus is authorized to take any of the following actions:
(a) We can cancel, suspend, change, or withdraw any booked travel, transport,
accommodation, or other services if we cannot fulfill the journey for any reason. If this
happens, we will provide a full refund for the cancelled or suspended service. We will
notify you in advance before your travel. Refunds may also be issued due to unforeseen
issues like vehicle breakdowns or driver unavailability. We will make every effort to
cover these issues, but we are not responsible for any additional costs related to lastminute arrangements, whether made by us or by you.
(b) We have the right to refuse to transport or accommodate any individual and to ask
them to leave, without needing to give a reason for our decision.

6- Charges for all transactions will be based on the current prices at the time the service is
provided. These prices may change without notice if there are any fluctuations in
exchange rates or fare rates.

7- Any damage to the vehicle or its equipment caused by any member of your group,
whether intentional or accidental, will be the Hirer’s responsibility. The Hirer must cover the cost of repairs and any related losses or downtime directly with HireMinibus or, in most cases, with the contracted company. We or our contractor may seek reimbursement from you (Client) for any costs incurred due to your actions, such as diverting the vehicle
for your party. In some cases, criminal proceedings may be pursued against you (Client)
if necessary. As a booking agent, HireMinibus or its subsidiaries are not liable for
damages caused to the vehicle by passengers. The Hirer is fully responsible for any
charges, damages, or compensation related to the vehicle, unless HireMinibus has agreed otherwise in writing with the contractor (driver). HireMinibus will cooperate
with both parties to help resolve the situation and may request photo evidence for
documentation.

8- HireMinibus will plan the route for the journey unless the Hirer requests a specific
route. If the Hirer later arranges any changes to the route that increase mileage or time, the Hirer will be responsible for covering the additional costs incurred.

9- All vehicle hire arrangements depend on the availability of a vehicle or vehicles with the necessary capacity at the specified date and time. A quote from HireMinibus does not
ensure vehicle availability. HireMinibus is not liable for any unavailability of vehicles
despite having provided a quote. We reserve the right to cancel and refund the booking if we are unable to meet the request.

10- To secure your booking, a non-refundable deposit of 40% of the total hire charge is
required unless otherwise agreed upon. This deposit ensures that your reservation is
confirmed. If, for any reason, we are unable to fulfill your journey request, the deposit
will be fully refunded. Please note that the deposit is non-refundable under all other
circumstances.

11- Once a confirmation and deposit for a booking has been received, the deposit is nonreturnable. If a booking is cancelled more than 14 days before a journey taking place a 40% cancellation charge will apply on the total payment. If a booking is cancelled between 7 and 14 days before the journey taking place a fee equivalent to 50% of the booking cost will be due.

If a booking is cancelled between 48 hours and 7 days before the journey taking place a fee
equivalent to 75% of the booking cost will be due.

If a booking is cancelled less than 48 hours before the journey taking place, the full cost of the
booking will be due. Once our client sit on board any of the vehicles the drivers has our agreement
to take you and bring you back to your destination, once you have boarded the vehicle we
as HireMinibus have fulfilled our contract with you and cannot issue refunds on these bookings.

Should the cancelled booking involve additional services, for example, meals, accommodation,
ferry charges, etc., and the proprietors of these services make a charge of cancellation fees, these
will be passed on to the hirer in addition to the cancellation fee already listed.

VEHICLE REQUIREMENT:
Our vehicles do not have safety screens between the driver and passengers, as they are not
required. We aim to provide a single vehicle for groups of up to 80 passengers. In the rare event
that a single vehicle cannot be arranged due to unforeseen circumstances, we will ensure your
journey is accommodated by providing two or more vehicles. Please be aware that while we
strive to meet your needs, the company is not obligated to issue refunds in these situations.

PASSENGER ADVICE:
We advise all passengers to follow the precautions outlined below when traveling with us, in line
with the latest UK Government COVID-19 guidance for the transport sector
If you are feeling unwell or showing symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19), we strongly
recommend that you do not travel with us. Although it is not a legal requirement, we suggest
wearing a face covering for added protection. Our drivers are trained to sanitize all commonly
touched surfaces in their vehicles between journeys. For extra peace of mind, you may use your
own disinfectant wipes with the driver’s consent.
Please use tissues to cover coughs and sneezes, and dispose of them safely after leaving the
vehicle. Try to maintain social distancing as much as possible, avoiding handshakes with the
driver and not sitting next to them. Use hand sanitizer when needed and avoid touching your face
to help reduce the risk of spreading the virus.

DRIVER ADVICE:
We advise our drivers to follow these precautions when carrying out journeys in relation to COVID-19, in line with the latest UK Government guidance for the transport sector. Although it
is not a legal requirement, it is recommended to wear an appropriate face mask or covering,
provided it does not interfere with your ability to drive safely. Ensure good ventilation by
keeping the car windows open when possible during trips.
Regularly clean your vehicle using gloves and standard cleaning products, paying special attention to door handles and other frequently touched areas. Before loading or unloading
passenger luggage, ask for permission and clean your hands or use disposable gloves as needed.
Use tissues to cover coughs and sneezes, and dispose of them hygienically after exiting the
vehicle. Maintain physical distance from passengers, avoid shaking hands, and wash your hands
frequently with soap or hand sanitizer. Avoid touching your face to help prevent the spread of
the virus.

12- As a broker or agent, we may subcontract and share journey details with other operators.
HireMinibus reserves the right to subcontract a vehicle from another operator when
necessary. All drivers working under HireMinibus instructions are fully insured,
experienced, and hold valid Operator Licenses.
Our vehicles may not be sub-let, lent, or licensed by a hirer without our written consent. We also reserve the right to provide a larger or smaller vehicle than originally booked to accommodate
the total number of passengers. In the event of a breakdown, we may use any other vehicle or vehicles, including taxis, to complete the journey. By placing a booking, you agree to these terms and acknowledge that we are not responsible for any claims related to this policy made by you against us or our suppliers.

13- A driver (contractor) is responsible for their vehicle for the duration of the hire, and their decisions are final. The driver has the authority to refuse entry to any person they
consider a nuisance or unsuitable and may request such individuals to leave the vehicle before continuing the journey. Additionally, the driver reserves the right to halt the journey if they feel unsafe at any point. In such cases, no refunds will be issued to the
client, and will not be held liable for any consequences.

14- If a flight is missed, it is the responsibility of the passenger or booker to notify HireMinibus immediately so that we can inform the driver not to proceed to the airport
for pickup. If the journey was prepaid, the fare will be refunded after deducting
administrative charges. If the passenger wishes to take a later flight, we can provide the
service for an additional cost.
Failure to notify HireMinibus of a missed flight will result in the passenger or booker
being liable for the full fare. If the fare was prepaid, it will not be refunded in the event of
a “No Show.”

NO SHOW POLICY:
“No Show” Meaning: If a passenger reserves a private hire car with us failed to meet the driver at the agreed pickup time, whether at an airport, seaport, home, hotel, or other address, this will be considered a “No Show.” This includes situations where the booking date or time is incorrect.
For airport pickups, the driver will wait in the arrival hall for up to one hour from the flight
landing time. If the passenger does not meet the driver within this period or fails to contact us by phone, email, or SMS, it will be regarded as a “No Show.”
For bookings made online or by phone with cash payment, if secured with a valid credit or debit card, the full fare will be charged in the event of a “No Show.” Prepaid bookings made with a credit or debit card will not be refunded if a “No Show” occurs.
If you need to alter the time of your transfer after making the reservation, an additional charge may apply. This is due to potential disruptions to our schedule and the need for emergency cover,
which incurs extra costs. We will pass on a partial and fair cost for these changes to the client.
Please ensure you are ready for collection at the specified time, as any waiting time exceeding 15 minutes may incur an extra charge. Drivers follow strict hourly regulations; if you are late and we cannot adjust the driver’s schedule, the driver may leave without providing a refund.
You are responsible for keeping the vehicle clean and ensuring that all passengers behave
appropriately. You will be liable for any damage caused to the vehicle. If the driver feels unsafe at any time, they have the right to remove you from the vehicle, and you will need to make alternative arrangements without receiving a refund.
If the requested vehicle is unavailable for any reason, we reserve the right to provide a larger or smaller vehicle to accommodate the total number of passengers. Additionally, if we are unable to supply the specific vehicle agreed upon, we may provide a different branded vehicle instead.
There will be no extra charge for these adjustments.
If a trailer is required, it must be booked and paid for separately at a cost of at least £40 each way. We may not provide a trailer on the transfer date if issues arise, but we will usually inform you in advance.
While we aim to provide the vehicle of your choice, unforeseen circumstances such as traffic delays or breakdowns may prevent us from doing so. We cannot guarantee a specific vehicle type but strive to deliver continuous service.
