Delays to Service

Elite Central Travel can accept no responsibility or liability whatsoever for traffic congestion, road accidents, adverse weather conditions or other matters outside its reasonable control, which may cause delay. Both parties expressly recognize in transport such as minibus hire that buses can be late as a normal cause of business without negligence on behalf of the minibus hire company (typically due to previous customer delays, traffic, accidents and mechanical problems).

If any driver is delayed by more than 60 minutes with one of our minibuses getting to the passengers then a refund may be considered. If we are unable to replace a delayed minibus within 1 hour and 30 minutes and the client chooses to make their own alternative travel arrangements they will be entitled to a refund for that leg of the journey.

If for any reason the driver has to re-route the journey due to traffic, adverse weather conditions or any unforeseen reasons and cannot get the passengers to the destination on time, neither the driver or Elite Central Travel will be held liable for any loss incurred for e.g. missed flights, paying extra for alternative transport, missed events or lateness to meetings etc. Also if the vehicle allocated to the journey has a mechanical issue prior to the journey or on the journey and Elite Central Travel cannot find an alternative vehicle, Elite Central Travel will not be held liable for any loss incurred and will not pay out any compensation under any circumstance; at managements discretion they may allow the deposit to be refunded.
