“No-Show” Policy

To ensure the dependability of Towncars Networks Australia Pty Ltd, it is necessary to reserve and dispatch a specific hire car and executive driver to meet each customer. It is therefore necessary to charge for the car hire services (as a hotel must charge for a guaranteed room) in the event the passenger is a “no show”.

You can avoid the “no show” charge by giving us a call before the driver is dispatched. International bookings require 24 hours notice prior to the booked time. A No-Show will be charged the total amount of the confirmed fee if you do not “present” at the nominated time and place.

Waiting/Over Time

We will always endeavour to accommodate our clients who require excess time with our luxury vehicles. Within reason and where possible, the vehicle will be made available to you for as long as possible after the specified period of your reservation.

Waiting time in excess of 15 minutes will be charged at the current Cash Booking rate or applicable Corporate rate (corporate travel). The waiting time will be charged, effective from the scheduled pickup time.

Unforeseen Circumstances

We will make every effort to arrive at your collection & destination locations on time. However, occasionally, allowances must be made for unforeseen circumstances such as traffic, road and weather conditions, illness, vehicle breakdown etc. We cannot assume responsibility for circumstances beyond our control. Should there be a vehicle breakdown or mishap rendering the reserved vehicle out of commission, we reserve the right to substitute a vehicle/vehicles. We will make every effort to supply an alternate luxury vehicle and advise you prior to pick up.

Limits of Liabilities and Insurance

Maximum liability shall be limited to a full refund of monies paid pertaining only to the trip in question. All care will be taken by us, but no liability will be assumed. No claim for Liquidated Damages, Consequential Loss or for any other eventuality shall be admissible. Our Insurance policies cover our passengers whilst inside our vehicle/s & en route only.

Vehicle Damage and Bad Behaviour

If you or any person or part of your party damage or soil our luxury vehicle, interior or exterior, including all fittings and fixtures, you will be liable for all costs incurred to rectify said damage.

If you or any person or part of your party behave in a manner deemed unsafe, crass or damaging or you or any part of your party is considered intoxicated, before, after or whilst en route, we reserve the right to abort travel, evict you from the vehicle & terminate your reservation and no refund will apply. A police report will be submitted if necessary.

Safety Devices and Childseats

Seatbelts are fitted to all our vehicles and must be used by all passengers whilst the vehicle is in motion. Child restraints/booster seats must be used according to RTA guidelines. Failure to use the safety devices correctly, will be the sole responsibility of the passengers or passengers’ guardian/parent and/or the person or entity confirming the booking or shown on our invoice.

Vehicle Restrictions and Road Rules

There may be instances where vehicles are unable to clear speed humps, through turns, driveways, road closures etc., rendering some locations inaccessible. In this case, we will endeavour to collect/deliver passengers at the closest possible point we can.

Should the driver deem any location or situation unsuitable for the vehicle, an alternative will be sought and used or termination of travel will occur if necessary – the driver’s decision will be final and no refund will be paid. Drivers will adhere stringently to all legal road rules at all times. All Drivers will plot their own travel route/s.
