All bookings are subject to the following terms and conditions. The terms 'we', 'us' or 'our' refer to the owners of Nostell Chauffeur Company. The term 'you' refers to the user of our website, or user of our chauffeuring or wedding car services.

Airport parking

1. For airport trips we apply the relevant airport parking cost to each quote to cover parking and waiting time for up to one hour after your flight arrives. This gives time to collect baggage, meet us in the arrivals hall and then leave the airport.

2. If your flight’s arrival is delayed through no fault of your own, there are no additional charges for parking or waiting.

3. If you specifically wish for us to wait longer for you, or there is an extra delay on your part, additional airport parking and waiting time charges could be applied.

Waiting time

1. We allow 15 minutes free of charge waiting time for each customer collection. So if you do happen to run a little over the pick up time we agreed (up to 1 hour after flight arrival for airport pick ups), this 15 minutes usually covers that for you with no additional costs.

2. However, if you would specifically like us to wait for you on arrival at your starting point or at your destination for longer than 15 minutes, or you want to depart more than 15 minutes later than the pick up time agreed, the cost is then £30 per hour of waiting time. The charge applies when you go into each new hour after your 15 minutes of allocated free waiting time ends, even if the full hour is not utilised.

3. If you wish to leave any belongings in the vehicle between journeys, journeys will be charged as one booking which will incur waiting time charges.

4. Wedding bookings are an exception to the above 3 terms, as waiting time is inclusive of the hours booked and we understand that ceremonies can run late.

Payments 

1. All chauffeuring bookings with a value of £200 or over, are subject to a 25% deposit upon booking.

2. All wedding and prom car bookings are subject to a £50 strictly non-refundable deposit per vehicle upon booking. For wedding bookings the remaining balance must be paid one month before the day of the wedding.

3. Bookings may be subject to additional waiting time, car park charges and tolls. These charges will only be applied on your approval, and in response to a specific request made by yourself or someone representing your business.

4. If you pay by card in the vehicle the charge on your credit or debit card statement will be shown as Nostell Chauffeur Co.

Cancellations 

1. For chauffeuring bookings - Cancellations received 14 days or less before the hire period, will be subject to a 50% cancellation fee of the value of the booking, minus any deposit paid. Cancellations received 24 hours or less before the hire period, or complete failure to notify, will be subject to a 100% cancellation fee of the value of the booking, minus any deposit paid to us.

2. For wedding car bookings - Cancellations received two months or less before the hire period, or failure to notify, will be subject to a strict 100% cancellation fee of the value of the booking, minus any deposit paid to us.

3. Where a cancellation fee applies you will be notified and invoiced via email or post within 10 days of the intended journey date.

9. We keep a lost property book at our operator office, and will return any lost goods left in our vehicles to the customer as soon as possible.

10. We advise that you to plan to arrive at the airport 3 hours prior to flight departure, to allow for possible unpredictable delays enroute to or from the airports.

11. We do not accept any responsibility for disruption to events or customers missing their flights or appointments etc, for any reason outside of our control i.e. traffic delays, accidents, severe weather conditions, breakdowns, acts of God, epidemics or any other unforeseen circumstances.

12. We monitor weather forecasts at least 2 weeks in advance where there could be heavy snow or ice. Should severe weather conditions prohibit us from getting to you or our destination, we will let you know as soon as possible so you can make alternative arrangements.

13. We reserve the right to change your vehicle or driver at any time if necessary due to illness, an emergency or unforeseen circumstance, and will always inform you of any such changes.

16. Our vehicle is fitted with a discreet dash camera which will primarily record footage exterior to the vehicle. To provide protection and reassurance for both parties in the event of us chauffeuring an unaccompanied child/children or vulnerable adult/s, it may also be used to record footage inside the vehicle.

19. This does not affect your statutory rights.
