Reservations:
We recommend that our clients reserve a car ahead of time (recommended at least 12 hours before the pick-up time nationally) to be guaranteed a car at the time of pick up. We can also provide you with a car at short notice by phone upon availability.
No Show:
If you do not see your driver at a certain pick up point, do not leave before calling our dispatch office at 800-270-0079 and we will direct you to your chauffeur. If you leave without calling you will be billed the full price of the ride (No Show Fee). If we don’t hear from you, the driver will wait up to 30 minutes for domestic arrivals, and 45 minutes for international arrivals. If you do not get in contact with your driver in the time period stated above, our dispatch office will try calling you on your cell phone, your home phone, or your contact person’s phone, depending on the nature of the pickup. If we do not get a response, we will then release the car and you will be billed for a No Show which will be the full price of the ride (No Show fee) plus any waiting charges. To authorize the driver to wait, call our office to authorize this wait.
Reservation Cancellation:
Reliable Chauffeur requires at least 2 hours of notice (USA & Canada for Sedans and SUVs, for special vehicles like Buses, Sprinters and high-end vehicles like Mercedes and BMW we require at least 48-hour notice) for the cancellation not to be billable. For overseas reservations we require at least 36-hour notice for the cancellation not to be billable for Sedans and SUVs (48 hours or as agreed with local vendor if it's for special vehicles like Sprinters, Buses and high-end vehicles like Mercedes and BMW). If you are cancelling the booking on a shorter notice than the cancellation fee stated above will be charged.

Reliable Chauffeur cannot be held liable for missed reservations/appointments due to a service error.
