Booking Policy

Learn how NOIR Executive Travel handles bookings, confirmations, airport pickups, waiting time, amendments, cancellations and passenger requirements.

Home/Booking Policy

This Booking Policy explains how reservations, confirmations, journey changes, waiting time and cancellations are handled by NOIR Executive Travel.

It applies to airport transfers, railway station transfers, port transfers, chauffeur journeys, corporate transportation and other private transfer services booked with us.

01

Making a Booking

Bookings may be requested online, by telephone, by email or through another approved booking channel.

The online booking form asks customers to provide information including their contact details, service type, pickup or drop-off requirements, journey location, travel date, time, flight or train information, passenger numbers and luggage details.

Please provide complete and accurate information so we can recommend an appropriate vehicle and confirm the correct fare.

02

A Request Is Not Yet a Confirmed Booking

Submitting an online form does not automatically guarantee a vehicle.

After receiving the request, our team may contact you to verify journey information and finalise the arrangements.

The website specifically tells customers to wait for booking confirmation after submitting the request.

Your booking is confirmed only after NOIR Executive Travel has accepted it and communicated confirmation to you.

03

Fare Confirmation

NOIR Executive Travel promotes clear and fixed pricing for confirmed airport transfers.

However, website prices shown for common routes are starting or indicative rates.

The final fare may vary according to:

  • Pickup and destination
  • Time of day
  • Vehicle category
  • Passenger numbers
  • Luggage
  • Intermediate stops
  • Airport charges
  • Additional journey requirements

The exact fare should be confirmed before travel.

If you later change the journey details, the fare may also change.

04

Airport Bookings and Flight Information

For airport pickups, customers should provide accurate flight details at the time of booking.

NOIR Executive Travel uses flight information to monitor arrival or departure times and adjust chauffeur timing where possible.

Please notify us if:

  • Your flight number changes
  • Your flight is cancelled
  • You are moved to another airport
  • Your travel date changes
  • You become aware of a significant delay

Without accurate flight information, we may be unable to monitor the journey properly.

05

Waiting Time

Airport transfer services currently include one hour of complimentary waiting time.

The complimentary period is intended to provide reasonable flexibility after arrival.

Where waiting continues beyond the included period, additional charges may apply.

For railway, port, event or address-to-address journeys, waiting arrangements may differ and should be confirmed when booking.

06

Pickup Times

Customers should be ready at the confirmed pickup time.

For airport departures, the customer is responsible for choosing a pickup time that allows sufficient time for:

  • Traffic
  • Check-in
  • Security
  • Baggage procedures
  • Airline requirements

We will make reasonable efforts to arrive punctually, but journey times can be affected by traffic, weather, road closures, incidents and other circumstances outside our control.

07

Changes and Amendments

If you need to change a booking, contact us as soon as possible.

Changes may include:

  • Different pickup time
  • New pickup address
  • Different destination
  • Additional stop
  • Vehicle upgrade
  • Increased passenger number
  • Additional luggage
  • New flight information

All amendments are subject to availability.

A booking change is not confirmed until accepted by NOIR Executive Travel.

A revised price may apply.

08

Cancellations

If you no longer require your journey, notify us promptly.

Cancellation charges may depend on the amount of notice provided and whether costs have already been committed.

This may include chauffeur allocation, parking, airport fees or other booking-specific expenses.

Where a particular cancellation condition or charge is supplied with your quotation or confirmation, that condition takes priority for the relevant booking.

09

Missed Pickups and No-Shows

Passengers should attend the agreed pickup point and remain contactable.

If the chauffeur cannot locate you, reasonable attempts may be made to contact you using the details supplied during booking.

A booking may be treated as a no-show if the passenger cannot be located after the applicable waiting period and does not respond to contact attempts.

No-show journeys may be non-refundable because the chauffeur and vehicle have already been allocated.

10

Vehicle Selection

Customers should select or request a vehicle suitable for both passenger numbers and luggage.

NOIR Executive Travel currently presents Mercedes E-Class Saloon and Estate vehicles as part of its executive fleet.

Vehicle availability is not guaranteed until booking confirmation.

Where the requested model becomes unavailable for operational or safety reasons, we may provide a suitable alternative.

11

Luggage Requirements

Please provide an accurate description of the luggage you intend to carry.

This is particularly important when travelling with:

  • Large suitcases
  • Multiple cases
  • Golf equipment
  • Pushchairs
  • Wheelchairs
  • Oversized items
  • Business equipment

A vehicle may be unable to transport additional luggage that was not disclosed when booking.

12

Additional Stops

Any stops requested when booking should be included in the journey details.

Stops requested after booking or during the journey may affect the price and estimated arrival time.

The chauffeur may decline a change if it would be unsafe, unreasonable or conflict with another confirmed booking.

13

Children and Special Requirements

Please tell us in advance if you are travelling with children or require any particular assistance.

Requests for child seats, accessibility arrangements or other specialist requirements should be made before the journey and are subject to availability.

Do not assume that specialist equipment will automatically be available unless confirmed.

14

Delays Beyond Our Control

NOIR Executive Travel will make reasonable efforts to provide each journey according to the confirmed schedule.

However, delays can result from circumstances such as:

  • Heavy traffic
  • Accidents
  • Road closures
  • Severe weather
  • Airport congestion
  • Security incidents
  • Major public events

We cannot guarantee exact arrival times where conditions outside our reasonable control affect the journey.
