BOOKINGS

Deposits are in place to reserve your vehicle for the dates and times requested.

If The Hirer needs to change the date of the booking, it must be within six (6) months of the date that The Hirer originally booked the Limousine for. The balance is to be paid to the driver at the first pickup location prior to departing. An additional $200 last minute cancellation fee is applied if cancelled within 48 hours of departure time. GODANDI must receive balance payments in respect of the Hire Charge/s to the driver at the first pickup location prior to departing. In the event that the booking is made less than two (2) days prior to the actual date of hire, GODANDI must receive full payment at the making of the booking by The Hirer to the driver at the first pickup location prior to departing. GODANDI agrees to accept payment by credit card, direct deposit, checkes and cash. In the event that The Hirer wishes to pay by cash, such payment can only be accepted by the aforementioned payment deadlines. Cash will be accepted as a deposit or to pay a balance. If The Hirer is paying the deposit with cash, The Hirer must make an appointment to bring it into our office and The Hirer’s Limousine will be booked on site. If The Hirer is paying the balance in cash, you may also bring that into our office anytime before the booking (by appointment ONLY).

When reserving a vehicle for proms or individuals under the age of 18 years, the pickup and drop-off locations must be predetermined and/or approved by The Hirer executing this agreement. GODANDI will require permission of the hirer in the event of any changes to the itinerary. A contact phone number must be provided to the chauffeur on or prior to the date of service. If GODANDI is unable to contact The Hirer or alternative contact person after 30 minutes of the scheduled pickup time then the ride will be considered a no-show and one will be fully charged. The Hirer authorizes GODANDI AND SONS TRANSPORTATION SERVICES SA DE CV. to charge your card for any unpaid balances, damages, or fees incurred as outlined in this service.

In the unlikely event that mechanical failure puts a vehicle temporarily out of service GODANDI reserves the right to substitute an alternate vehicle from our fleet or Affiliates.

EXTRA’S TO CONTRACT

The Hirer understands that in the event that GODANDI agrees extra requests, in most cases further costs would be applicable in order to accommodate such changes. Any overrun of time booked directly due to spontaneous changes made by The Hirer or any member of his/her party during the booking taking place shall render The Hirer to a surcharge of up to $250 per hour or part thereof.

If this is important to The Hirer, it is always recommended that The Hirer build in extra time to account for any unforeseen circumstances. The Hirer may also want to consider an exclusive use rate.
