To protect you against overpaying for “transfer’’ rides or scheduled excrusions (tours), the driver’s mobile phone transmits GPS location data to us at short intervals during a ride, enabling us to map the entire journey. We do this because we want to ensure the driver does not extend the route intentionally to earn higher remuneration.

This is valid for up to 8 hours of flight/ship delay. If the delay is more than 8 hours the transfer will be cancelled and the traveller will be refunded with the whole amount of transfer fee.
