HYFLY may present you with an anticipated travel time for your journey while providing the Booking Service, but this is solely for guidance. It is your obligation to allow enough time for the journey, and you should factor in extra time for delays and unexpected events if the journey is critical, especially if subsequent connections and/or appointments are at risk of being missed.

When making a reservation, you must specify the appropriate car size for the number of guests and luggage. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to transport excessive amounts of luggage. Please keep in mind that a child, regardless of age, counts as one passenger.

Please be advised that, depending on availability, a vehicle capable of transporting a wheelchair user may have a lengthier wait time. If you would like to request a specific vehicle type and/or Driver for your Booking, we will do our best to meet your demands, but we cannot always promise that they will be met.

We supplied you with a fixed fare at the time of Booking, based on the information you provided at the time of Booking. The Driver must provide the Driving Services for the specified Fare if the initial Booking request does not include any additional drop-offs, pick-ups, route or destination changes, or additional waiting time (save for airport pick-ups, which we allow for a 30-minute wait period as standard). You understand and agree that if such changes occur after a Booking has been made, you will be responsible for directly negotiating the new Fare with us/the Driver.
