9.USE OF CHILD SEATS

For children’s seats, national and international rules apply, which may vary from country to country. As a transport company, however, we respect all the rules that apply to our cars in accordance with the legislation. When booking a private transfer, we always ask the customer to use a booster seat or a child seat for children under 12 years or under 135 cm. As a transport company, we attach great importance to safety and as a customer, you can opt for child seats or baby seats for most bookings.
It is the sole responsibility of the main passenger to check whether the child seats used meet the requirements and whether the child seats are correctly used and installed. As a transport company, we are not responsible for the use, inspection or installation of the child seat in question.
The use of a personal booster seat or a personal baby seat is possible but must be communicated to the Transportation Company. In this way, as a transportation company, we can ensure that the vehicle used can accommodate the booster seat or seat. If you wish to bring your own booster seat or child seat and travel with a private transfer, you must inform us in advance. This allows us to check whether the vehicle provided by the Transport Company is suitable for the child seat. Group services are generally provided by minibus or bus and it is not possible to use a child seat in these vehicles.
As a Transportation Company, we always do everything possible to provide the child seats that were requested during the Booking. In exceptional cases, it may happen that the child seat can not be supplied. If a supplement has been charged for the child seat at the time of booking, this allowance will, of course, be reimbursed. If there is no child seat, then children from 3 years old can still use our Transport Service if they wear the adult seatbelt. Children under 3 years old can also use our Child Seatless Transportation Service if they are in the back of the car.

10.RATES FOR CHILDREN

Children and babies should be considered regular passengers when booking. This is why they must be registered as full passengers when booking and the applicable rate will also be charged.

For the moment, however, we can not guarantee the use of the vehicle for these customers.

12.RESERVATION ADDITIONAL INTERMEDIATE STOP

In some cases, making a stopover when using our transportation service is a customer wish, for example to take extra people. These additional stops can and must be indicated when booking online.
