Terms and conditions of transportation of passengers and luggage

When requesting an offer from LIMOS8 or making a reservation for ground transportation, you are obligated to provide LIMOS8 with precise and accurate information regarding the number of passengers and the number and size of luggage.

LIMOS8 reserves the right to provide an appropriate Service and vehicle according to the customer´s description of volume of luggage and passengers. By accepting an offer from LIMOS8, you agree to use the Service and vehicle as quoted by LIMOS8.

Should you amend the number of passengers and/or luggage without timely notice to LIMOS8 and official confirmation of amended Service from LIMOS8 was not provided afterwards, LIMOS8 shall not be responsible and cannot be held liable for the inconveniences or additional expenses you would be exposed to.

LIMOS8 shall not be responsible and cannot be held liable if the number of passengers and/or luggage exceeds the number of passengers and/or luggage originally booked by you and confirmed by LIMOS8.

In case of cancellation or rebooking due to a larger amount of passengers and/or luggage, the full fare for an already booked vehicle is to be charged.

LIMOS8 is not responsible for lost or damaged items left in the vehicles. LIMOS8 reserves the right to charge a delivery fee for returning lost items if found.

Per customer’s request, the additional service would be provided by LIMOS8 followed by an additional service costs report and payment link not later than 24 hours after the service is completed.

If the customer fails to execute the payment via the payment link, LIMOS8 reserves the right to charge the submitted credit card for additional service costs. The customer agrees, at LIMOS8’s request, to provide reasonable assistance and information in relation to any disputed payment transactions.

LIMOS8 may also request and use necessary information from the customer in order to dispute the chargeback case.

A night surcharge of 20% applies between 21.00 and 07.00.

Complaints

In case of a service quality level breach, the customer must notify the LIMOS8 Customer Care Team of such occurrence not later than 48 hours from the service completion time. LIMOS8 is not obliged to accept any complaint or escalation notice submitted thereafter, due to impeded incident investigation procedure.

Behavior in the vehicle

During the entirety of the transportation service, all customers must follow the regulations that apply to the relevant Road Traffic Act, especially the seat belt regulations. Any instructions given by LIMOS8 must be followed.

It is the responsibility of LIMOS8 to ensure a safe transportation service. It is therefore prohibited for the customers to open the doors while driving, throw any objects from the vehicle, and/or stick body parts out or shout from the vehicle.

If you wish to use any of the devices or facilities in the vehicle, a brief instruction is required from LIMOS8 or the chauffeur.

The customer must pay for any damage caused to the interior or exterior of any vehicle by said customer. Any loss of earnings if the vehicle is out of service for the rest of the day will also be billed to the customer.

LIMOS8 operates a non-smoking policy in all vehicles. If the customer ignores this, the customer is liable to pay not only the cost for the cleaning of the vehicle but also compensate for the loss of business due to the downtime of the vehicle.

The consumption of food is discouraged. Alcoholic drinks are only allowed to be consumed in the vehicle with prior consent.

LIMOS8 reserves the right to refuse the carriage of luggage and/or animals which was/were not agreed to. This also applies to animals that are not contained in a closed and suitable transport box.

Transport safety

All vehicles are insured in full for customer or third-party claims should an accident or incident occur.

The need for safety seats for children should be requested by the customer as an additional comment or in the price inquiry form by specifying the number, type of seat and the age of children to be transported.

In larger seating-capacity vehicles (minibusses and coaches), the safety seats are not mandatory due to safety and practical reasons.

Additional information

LIMOS8 practices flight tracking in real time to ensure on-time service regardless if the flight is coming in earlier or is delayed.

The chauffeur is instantly notified about the flight arrival changes and appropriate adjustments will be made to avoid waiting charges at the airport, which could save huge on your expenses.

It is your responsibility to notify LIMOS8 of any changes in the itinerary, changes in flight information, or if the flight is missed.

Regarding the connecting flights, our Customer Care Team monitors only the last, incoming flight which brings the customers to the airport where our service begins.

Please note the terms of service are different for the ground transportation service in the U.S. and Canada.

LIMOS8 may need to change the chauffeur or vehicle at any point of booking, without affecting the quality of service or vehicle class.
