Booking

DJ Taxis Scunthorpe ltd only accepts bookings from individuals over the age of 18 years. Children aged 14 and under MUST be accompanied by a responsible adult. Children aged 15 – 17 are permitted without adult supervison, however a responsible adult MUST be present at the point and time of pickup.

The only exception to this rule being where the child is being picked up from or dropped off at school, or a similar facility.

Cancellation Policy/Deposits

All bookings will be subject to a minimum deposit of 20%, which is deductible from the total fare, but non-refundable.

If you have chosen to pay a higher amount in advance, then a refund equivalent to the total amount you have paid, minus the 20% deposit will be issued.

In the event that you have to cancel your booking due to events outside of your control, for example the collapse of your tour company, terrorist attack, extreme weather etc, DJs Taxis may agree to transfer your deposit to a new booking with us, which should take place no more than 4 months after your original booking.

COVID-19 related cancellations will be exempt from the 4 month clause above and your deposit will be transferable to ANY booking going forward, regardless of how much time has passed.

Flight Delays

We will record your return flight number and use a combination of a flight tracking app, Google searches and the information available on the airport arrivals website to track your flight live. Please note that these sources are only accurate where your airline/the airport have reported the data accurately and we can only work off the information available to us, hence the importance of you contacting us in the event of a delay.

We do build contingency into our trips to allow for delays but as I’m sure you will appreciate, some delays can be substantial and just cannot be planned for. Where your flight has been delayed, we will wait as long as is reasonably possible before dropping the run. This will usually be due to a booking conflict caused by your delay. Please note the following regarding refunds in these circumstances:

Contact Made – Where you get in contact with us to let us know about your delay, where possible, we will amend your booking and arrange an appropriate pickup time. This will be free of charge. If it is no longer possible to complete the journey, a refund equivelant to the date for the return trip, minus the 20% deposit will be offered.

No Contact Made – Where we are not informed by you of such a delay and we attend the booking. In the event that we can wait, any time over two hours will be charged a waiting fee of £18 per hour, which you agree to by vitue to accepting these terms and conditions. Where it is not possible to wait until you’re ready, no refund will be offered. We will however be happy to provide written confirmation of this as evidence, should you want to make a claim against your airline.

Changes to your booking

Any amendments that are required after the first 14 days of booking may result in a small admin fee, so please make sure that you check that all information on your itinerary is correct when you receive it via email.

The cost of rectifying any damage caused by any member of your party, which would not reasonably fall into the category of general wear and tear, must be met by you. Where it is believed that the DAMAGE was DELIBERATE, the POLICE will be contacted and your details passed on.

Additional Pick up/Drop off

If you would like any additional pick ups or drop offs please ensure that these are included in your booking request. Due to the terms of our Private Hire License, we will only be able to attend addresses which are included within the original booking so this is important to avoid disappointment on the night.

Additional Charges

The only exception to this is where you have specifically requested a stop or specific route, which would incur additional cost, in which case you would be required to pay the cost on the day. If this is the case, your driver will make every attempt to inform you of any additional charge as soon as they can
