Business Terms and Conditions

Terms and conditions for the West Quay Cars App

The price quoted on the app is an estimate based on the information you have input, pick-up, drop-off and type of vehicle, the journey will be priced according to the taximeter in the vehicle. Any deviation to the journey booked on the app may result in an increased cost to that of the estimate and any waiting time, parking congestion, tolls etc. will also be chargeable.

The App is a post-pay app which means that payment for your journey is collected after the journey has been completed. When you book a ride using a credit or debit card there is a £1 pre-authorisation fee which we hold until the journey has ended. This is not debited from your account, the amount is simply held temporarily until the ride is complete. At the end of the ride, the pre-authorisation is released back into your bank account. Naturally, if you cancel your journey before a car is dispatched there is no charge and the £1 pre-authorisation fee will be released within 3-5 working days. The time it takes for the pre-authorisation to be released is dependent on your bank’s policy and is outside of our control. The pre-authorisation is for security purposes and helps ensure a transaction is not fraudulent.  You will be charged for a ‘no show’ if the Driver attends the booking and you have not cancelled.  If you wish to cancel a booking you will need to call the booking office as we have strict conditions on when you can cancel or not i.e. if Driver is on his way.

Promo codes – From time to time, West Quay Cars will promote the app using promo codes. These promo codes will be advertised as and when they are available. Only one promo code can be used at one time and cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer. Promo codes can only be used for journeys paid by card which has been preregistered in the app. Further information is available at www.westquaycars.com/faq.

General Conditions

Booking with West Quay Cars

As the customer, it is your responsibility to allow yourself plenty of extra time for time sensitive journeys to take into account unforeseen circumstances including but not limited to cruise ships, football, rush hour, bridge or road closures etc.

If you are booking a journey that requires an onward connection, such as, but not limited to, Airport, Train, Bus or Coach, you must allow yourself extra time. We recommend the following:

For London Airports book your car so you plan to arrive at the airport 2 hours 30 minutes minimum before your planned departure. This should leave sufficient time to remedy most issues. Please note that all UK airports recommend arriving a minimum of 2 hours prior to plane departure. We cannot be held responsible for any late arrivals for any passenger who has not booked a vehicle which allows them sufficient time, to arrive at the airport 2 hours 30 minutes prior to flight departure.  Southampton airport usually advise you arrive 1 hour before the flight departs if you have checked in already but please check with the airport.

Train/Coach/Bus Book your car so you plan to arrive at the destination 10/15 minutes before the planned departure.

West Quay Cars will not be held responsible for any delays, of any kind, transporting you to your destination. We are unable to control weather/traffic conditions etc. We will, of course, use our best endeavours to get you to your destination as quickly as possible, diversions and severe delays may result in re-calculation of the original quotation and each occurrence will be assessed on an individual basis.

As the customer, it is your responsibility to contact the office if the car you have booked is 10 minutes or more late. This will allow both you and the Company time to understand the problem, assess the seriousness and re plan accordingly. Please bear in mind, like most private hire companies, we use a computer system and there are very rare occasions where there is a computer malfunction. This makes it even more important to communicate with the office.

West Quay Cars will not be liable for any costs relating to any delay in the car arriving.
