If the luggage is not ready for collection on the requested time and a later pick up is required, VICENTINA TRANSFERS will charge extra 10€ for having to repeat the journey. In case there is the need to hire another service provider, the resulting cost is entirely supported by the customer.
In the event of unforeseen circumstances (e.g. road block, vehicle break down, accident) preventing the delivery of your luggage before 4:30 pm you will be informed immediately and an alternative solution will be arranged to suit your comfort. However we will not accept any liability resulting from such events.
If we are unable to deliver you luggage due to closed premises, we’ll attempt to deliver it to a nearby safe location and inform you and your accommodation.
