Reservations, cancellations, payments, scheduling, credits, changes and additional charges

 

The following is a guide by which the company of TelluRides operates. All reservations require a credit card along with the client’s contact information and reservation details. Reservations are processed daily and confirmed via email. When applicable, the client may be able to submit payments via our online software. For large groups of 20 or more we do accept checks. Clients, groups or recipients of these services are responsible to verify and confirm all details within the reservation before submitting their payment. It is the client’s responsibility to read and understand the details described herein, and to contact TelluRides with any questions before proceeding with the reservation process.

TelluRides is not liable in the event of mechanical breakdown while providing services and will only be responsible for making up lost time at a mutually agreed date. The client assumes full financial liability for any damage to the vehicle caused during the duration of the service by them or any members of their party. Sanitation fee is $250. Alcohol Consumption and drug use is absolutely prohibited. The driver has the right to terminate the service without refund (if there is blatant indiscretion on the part of the client(s). Smoking is not permitted in any of our company vehicles. 

  1. Payments are processed 48 hours prior to the trip date. All and any payments made forth for any reservation, regardless of the service requested, are not eligible for a refund to the client. These payments are processed to secure a specific date and time which will not be available to any other client, and therefore resources will have been allocated to that specific service.

Flight delays may cause interference in the ground transportation schedules. Failure to arrive at the arranged pick-up location, regardless of the circumstance, the client may lose their transportation service due to other scheduled services.
