Cancellation And Refund Policy

At Blackstone Executive Transfers, we understand that plans can change.

This Cancellation & Refund Policy has been created to be fair to both our clients and our business, whilst protecting time, vehicle availability and resources allocated to confirmed bookings.

Bookings Covered by This Policy

This policy applies to all bookings including:

  • Airport Transfers

  • Corporate Travel

  • Wedding Chauffeur Services

  • Special Events

  • Executive Travel

  • Corporate Account Bookings

  • Private Client Bookings

By making a booking with Blackstone Executive Transfers, you agree to the terms outlined below.

Cancellation By The Customer

More Than 48 Hours Before Collection

If a booking is cancelled more than 48 hours before the scheduled collection time:

  • Any prepaid amount will be refunded in full.

  • Any applicable payment processing fees may be deducted where permitted.

24 To 48 Hours Before Collection

If a booking is cancelled between 24 and 48 hours before the scheduled collection time:

  • 50% of the booking value may be retained.

  • The remaining balance will be refunded where applicable.

Less Than 24 Hours Before Collection

If a booking is cancelled less than 24 hours before the scheduled collection time:

  • 100% of the booking value may be charged.

  • No refund will normally be issued.

This is because the vehicle, chauffeur and time allocation have already been reserved specifically for the booking.

No Shows

A “No Show” occurs when:

  • The passenger fails to attend the agreed collection point.

  • The passenger cannot be contacted.

  • The passenger leaves the collection point before meeting the chauffeur.

  • The passenger refuses travel after the chauffeur has arrived.

In these circumstances:

  • 100% of the booking fee will be charged.

  • No refund will be provided.

Airport Collections

For airport collections:

  • Flight monitoring is included where flight details have been provided.

  • Where a flight is delayed, we will make reasonable efforts to adjust collection times.

If a passenger fails to contact Blackstone Executive Transfers after landing and leaves the airport without informing us:

  • The booking may be treated as a No Show.

Additional waiting time charges may apply where significant delays occur beyond the included waiting period.

Wedding Bookings

Wedding bookings require significant preparation and reservation of time.

Because wedding dates cannot usually be resold at short notice, the following cancellation terms apply:

More Than 30 Days Before Wedding Date

Full refund of any monies paid, less any non-recoverable costs already incurred.

15 To 30 Days Before Wedding Date

50% of the booking value may be retained.

Less Than 15 Days Before Wedding Date

100% of the booking value may be retained.

No refund will normally be issued.

Any bespoke decorations, special requests or third-party costs already incurred may also remain payable.

Corporate Account Bookings

Corporate account clients remain subject to this Cancellation Policy.

Repeated late cancellations or no-shows may result in:

  • Additional charges

  • Account review

  • Temporary suspension of account privileges

  • Permanent account closure

at the Company’s discretion.

Special Events & Occasions

Bookings for:

  • Concerts

  • Sporting Events

  • VIP Events

  • Private Functions

  • Proms

  • Special Occasions

may require vehicle reservation and chauffeur allocation well in advance.

Standard cancellation terms apply unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Certain high-demand event dates may require non-refundable deposits.

Any special terms will be confirmed before booking.

Requests to amend bookings will be accommodated wherever possible.
