The Passenger initially books for 2 people plus luggage and there is a total of 3 people plus luggage at the time of travel, The Passenger requires additional pickups, drop-offs or the requirements are different to what was advised in the original journey). Where possible to accommodate these changes on the spot, the price will be recalculated based on the new requirement.

4. INCLUDED WITH THE BOOKING

  • 4.1. The Provider will allow a maximum of 15 minutes free waiting or loading time when picking up The Passenger from a regular address. In the event that
    all booked passengers have not boarded the vehicle within 15 minutes of the stipulated pickup time, The Provider reserves the right to charge The Passenger a waiting time fee (as detailed in our price list) proportionate to the delay in departure from the collection address, which will not, for the avoidance of doubt, include the first 15 minutes. After the free 15 minutes of waiting time pass, if contact cannot be made with The Passenger, the booking will be automatically considered cancelled due to “no show” policy after a further 15 minutes of waiting (a total of 30 minutes of waiting).
  • 4.2. The Provider will allow a maximum of 30 minutes free waiting or loading time when picking up The Passenger from an airport or port address (a London airport: Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, London City or Southend; or major port/cruise terminal: Southampton, Portsmouth, Dover, Harwich, Tilbury). The Provider will allow a maximum of 30 minutes free waiting time and parking starting from the scheduled pick-up time (for airports pick-ups, scheduled time is worked out by adding the chosen time frame “meet and greet period” after the last known estimated arrival time of an inbound international flight). The Provider reserves the right to charge The Passenger a waiting time fee (as detailed in our price list) proportionate to the delay in departure, which shall not include the first 30 minutes, but only the period waited after this initial time frame. For the purposes of this clause the “last known estimated arrival time” will either be (a) if The Passenger provides a flight number at the time of making the booking, The Provider will monitor the relevant flight and alter the collection time as needed; or (b) if The Passenger does not provide a flight number, the time which has been specified by The Passenger. After the free 30 minutes of waiting time pass, if contact cannot be made with The Passenger, the booking will be automatically considered cancelled due to “no show” policy after a further 30 minutes of waiting (a total of 60 minutes of waiting).
  • 4.3. A maximum time of 30 minutes for normal bookings and 60 minutes for airport/port bookings will be allocated, after which time non-contact with The
    Passenger will classify the booking to be a “no-show”. For the purpose hereof, a “no-show” is defined as an event whereby The Passenger (a) in case of address collection, fails to meet the driver at the agreed pick-up time at the agreed pick-up point; or (b) in case of airport/port collection, fails to meet the Driver at the defined meeting point within the allocated time.
  • 4.4. The Provider includes as standard with collections from a London airport or major port/cruise terminal as defined in clause 4.2. the following services: flight tracking (available only with airport collections – where possible and accurate flight number is given at the time of booking, The Provider will monitor the flight status and reschedule the pickup time based on actual landing time of flight; the time frame that is selected between flight landing time and original journey pickup time [known as “meet and greet period”] will be used to determine the actual pickup time in events of early or delayed flight arrivals; where this is not possible, the original journey pickup time will be maintained), meet and greet service (the driver will enter the terminal and wait for The Passenger at the defined meeting point – the location along with the driver and vehicle information will be provided in a confirmation email) and 30 minutes of inclusive waiting time and parking (the free waiting and parking period starts from the scheduled pickup time – this will take into account the actual flight landing time, where applicable). 
  • 4.5. All parking fees will be chargeable to The Passenger for collections from airports, ports, international and domestic train terminals, or any regular address which requires paid parking (as detailed in our price list).

Payment for any requested service can be paid in advance by credit or debit card. Charges for card payments are no longer applicable and a receipt can be acquired from our office upon request, by emailing us at accounts@twelve.london (you should receive an automatic copy when journey is completed). The company does not force any of its customers to pay in advance and this is purely to assure the customer will receive the required service and disruptions at our end are kept to a minimum (“no shows”, fake reservations etc). For further information, please contact us at info@twelve.london.

Unlike the vast majority of companies within this industry, we do not charge our customers for unexpected situations where a journey needs to be cancelled (as long as this is done with 24 hour in advance of the requested pick-up time). We understand that sometimes the unpredictable happens and for unforeseen reasons you simply can’t make it.If you would like to cancel your booking with us, you can do this by emailing us at bookings@twelve.london with your booking reference and reason of cancellation. Alternatively you can call us on +44 (0)20 3479 5700.

Please note that pre-paid bookings can take up to 10 working days to be processed from the moment you inform us of a cancellation. It can then take up to a further 4 working days for the funds to be credited and reach your account. For assistance with refunds, please contact us at accounts@twelve.london.

If a booking is cancelled less than 24 hours prior to the schedule pick-up time, there will be a cancellation fee applied, which depends on the time we were informed…

– More than 24 hours before pick-up time = no charge applied / full refund;
– Between 24 and 3 hours before pick-up time = 30% of journey price;
– Between 3 or less, but before the driver is on the way = 50% of journey price;
– Once journey has commenced (driver on the way) = 100% of journey price;

If your flight is cancelled, you will be given the option to receive a full refund or reschedule your journey. In the event that your flight is diverted to a different airport and you land somewhere else, you will be given the option to reschedule your journey from the new airport (in the event that a price difference occurs, you will have to pay this); alternatively, if the driver is already on the way or arrived for your journey, we will only be able to offer a 50% refund. We will require proof of flight cancellation to qualify for a full refund (in the event that the journey was cancelled with less than 24 hours prior to pickup).

For instant bookings (that were processed for a journey taking place within the next hour) a charge will only be applicable if you cancel the journey after the driver has departed towards your address (on the way). A fixed cancellation fee will be applied based on the vehicle type booked, as follows…

  • Saloon/Estate – £5.00
  • Executive – £8.00
  • MPV (4/5/6) – £8.00
  • MPV Executive – £10.00
  • MPV8 – £10.00

It is our priority to ensure our customers receive a safe transfer each and every time. By undertaking monthly safety checks, you can be sure that the vehicle which will be undertaking your transfer is safe and in working condition.

Making sure you reach your destination in comfort and style is our main goal. This is why one of our policies is to have a car fleet no older than 5 years. One other policy is to undertake weekly safety checks of the car and periodical car service checks to ensure all our vehicles are running smoothly.

Our drivers are trained to operate having in mind the customer’s safety first of all, even if this means taking a few minutes longer on the journey.

Safety is our priority! You can be sure you will receive a…

  • Well maintained & safe vehicle
  • Regular safety checks undertaken
  • Vigilant & experienced driver
  • Smooth & relaxing transfer
