Terms good through 2019.

Please read these Terms & Conditions to understand how you will be billed. The passenger is responsible for all charges when completing a transfer. Any concerns relating to a ride must be called in to the base and addressed with a supervisor before or as soon as possible during the transfer. Note that if the passenger takes another mode of transportation other than the car that was booked without a prior cancellation, they will be charged as a ‘no-show’. These general terms and conditions apply to all transportation services provided by East Coast Worldwide Limousine and its affiliated companies, with the exception of specific terms and conditions as stated within exclusive service agreements. See all other details below. Chauffeurs providing service for East Coast clients are franchisees or independent contractors whose vehicles are independently owned and operated. They will be referred to as “drivers” in these Terms & Conditions.

Passengers will be billed if they take another means of transportation without calling East Coast whenever they do not see their car. Under NO circumstances should the passenger direct the driver to change a reservation, or give the driver instructions for return pick-ups. All such changes must go through our call center. East Coast will not be responsible for service issues whenever a driver is instructed directly, other than an ‘as directed’ ride, nor is East Coast responsible for missed flights.

Driver Interaction and Changes to a Reservation
