1. Journey Acknowledgement & Details
You will receive a "Journey Acknowledgement" email for the journey(s) you have paid for. It is your responsibility to check that all booking details provided are correct.
You will receive a "Journey Details" email once your booking has been assigned to a driver. This email will include pickup instructions and the driver's contact number. Cardiff Taxis Ltd cannot be held responsible if you fail to retain these details.
2. Missed Flights & Airport Transfers
Cardiff Taxis Ltd accepts no responsibility for missed flights caused by traffic delays, accidents, vehicle breakdowns, severe weather conditions, or any other unforeseen circumstances.
Passengers are advised to allow sufficient travel time and aim to arrive at the airport at least 2 hours before their flight departure time. Cardiff Taxis Ltd will not accept responsibility for missed flights where insufficient check-in time has been allowed.
Passengers may choose a pickup time that allows less than 2 hours before departure; however, Cardiff Taxis Ltd accepts no liability for any resulting missed flights.
All passengers are strongly advised to obtain adequate travel insurance before making a booking.
Please ensure that arrival flight details provided relate to your arrival into the UK and not your departure information. If your flight is significantly delayed, please inform us as soon as possible.

For airport pickups, Cardiff Taxis Ltd allows the first 60 minutes of waiting time free of charge from the flight landing time.
After the first hour, waiting time will be charged at £20 per hour pro rata, regardless of the reason for delay.
For all non-airport journeys, waiting time will be charged at 40 pence per minute from the scheduled pickup time.
4. Pricing
Prices are calculated based on journey distance, travel time, vehicle type, and the number of passengers travelling.
Cardiff Taxis Ltd reserves the right to provide an upgraded vehicle where the selected vehicle is unavailable.
5. Amendments & Re-Booking
Any amendments to bookings must be made directly through our office via telephone or email. Confirmation of the amendment will be sent by email. Amendments should not be arranged directly with drivers.

7. Luggage & Vehicle Capacity
Cardiff Taxis Ltd accepts no responsibility where passenger numbers or luggage exceed the capacity of the vehicle booked. If you are unsure which vehicle type is suitable, please contact our customer service team before travel.
For safety and compliance with taxi licensing regulations, all luggage must be securely stored within the vehicle. Please take this into consideration when selecting your vehicle.
8. Animals
Cardiff Taxis Ltd reserves the right to refuse transportation of animals that were not declared at the time of booking. Any approved animals must be transported in a secure and suitable carrier or crate. Cardiff Taxis Ltd accepts no responsibility for costs incurred due to failure to comply with these requirements.
9. Routes
The route taken during the journey will be at the driver's discretion based on traffic and road conditions on the day of travel. Alternative routes may be requested and will be considered where reasonably possible.
10. Third-Party Operators & Upgrades
Cardiff Taxis Ltd may use third-party operators where necessary to fulfil bookings.
Cardiff Taxis Ltd reserves the right to provide an upgraded vehicle category where the originally booked vehicle is unavailable.
