Introduction
Welcome to Get Ryde. By using our website, app, or taxi services in Edinburgh, you agree to these Terms and Conditions, which are essential for legal compliance and understanding your responsibilities.
By booking a ride or using our services, you agree to follow these Terms and Conditions. If you disagree, please do not use our services.
Our Services
Get Ryde provides private hire taxi services, including airport transfers, local city rides, executive travel, and business transport. All bookings are subject to availability.
We aim to provide safe, reliable, and professional service at all times. However, journey times may vary due to traffic, weather, or other conditions beyond our control.
Bookings
Making a Booking
Bookings can be made through our website, app, phone, or email. Providing accurate pickup details, contact information, and journey locations is required to prevent delays or cancellations.
Incorrect or incomplete information may result in delays or cancellation of service.
Booking Confirmation
A booking is confirmed once we accept it and provide confirmation. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel a booking if required for operational or legal reasons.
Pricing and Payments
All prices are agreed at the time of booking unless stated otherwise. Prices may vary depending on distance, time, traffic conditions, or special requirements.
Payments must be made using approved payment methods. We do not store full card or bank details. Failure to make payment may result in the cancellation of the service.
Cancellations and Refunds
You may cancel a booking by contacting us as soon as possible. Cancellation charges may apply depending on the notice given and service type.
Refunds, if applicable, will be processed using the original payment method and may take several working days.
Passenger Responsibilities
Passengers must behave respectfully and follow the driver’s instructions during the journey. Any damage caused to the vehicle may be charged to the passenger.
Passengers are responsible for ensuring that children are adequately supervised and seated safely in accordance with UK law.
Driver Responsibilities
Our drivers are licensed and trained to provide safe and professional service. Drivers have the right to refuse service if a passenger behaves in an unsafe or abusive manner.
Drivers will follow the agreed route unless an alternative route is requested or required due to traffic or safety reasons.
Delays and Service Issues
While we aim to be on time, delays may occur due to traffic, weather, accidents, or road conditions. We are not responsible for delays beyond our control.
We are not liable for missed flights, trains, or appointments due to unforeseen delays.
Lost Property
Get Ryde is not responsible for items left in vehicles. However, we will make reasonable efforts to help recover lost property if reported promptly.
Recovered items may be collected by arrangement, and proof of ownership may be required.
Limitation of Liability
We are not responsible for indirect losses, delays, or inconvenience caused during the journey. Our liability is limited to the cost of the booked service, where permitted by law.
Nothing in these Terms limits your legal rights under UK law.
