Terms & Conditions
Booking and Services
- 1.1. By booking and utilising our taxi services, you acknowledge and agree to adhere to the stipulations laid out in the Terms and Conditions.
- 1.2. A booking is an official request from passengers to procure transportation services from Tappaxi. This request is accepted once Tappaxi confirms the booking. While we strive to accommodate all requests, Tappaxireserves the right to decline bookings at its discretion to ensure a balanced and efficient service.
- 1.3 Please ensure that all bookings and return reservations are conducted directly with Tappaxi Ltd via our app and website. It is essential to understand that private hire drivers are not allowed to arrange journeys directly, as this violates legal rules. Journeys agreed through the drivers are illegal and not insured.
Payment and Pricing
- 2.1. The prices quoted upon booking remain valid for 24 hours, providing clarity and transparency in pricing.
- 2.2. All bookings must be paid for in advance. A booking is not confirmed until full payment has been received. If payment is not completed, the booking will not be confirmed.
- 2.3. The quoted price is based on the journey details provided at the time of booking. Should any changes be made to the original journey, updated pricing may be applied to reflect the revised itinerary.
- 2.4. We charge different prices depending on the booking method. Please note that bookings made via telephone incur an additional charge of £25 compared to the prices listed on our website.
- 2.5. Additional charges, such as waiting time, excess luggage, or special route requests, will be communicated and can be settled via credit/debit card. We process all payments securely using Stripe.
- 2.6. Toll charges, where applicable, are included in our fares.
- 2.7. A 60% surcharge will apply to bookings made between 11:00 on 24th December to 23:59 on 26th December and 11:00 on 31st December to 23:59 on 1st January. This surcharge may also extend to other days.
- 2.8. All payments, including any additional charges for waiting time, excess baggage, or other special requests, must be completed before the journey begins.
Waiting and No-Show Policy
- 3.1. To facilitate efficient pickups, Tappaxi offers a maximum complimentary waiting time of 10 minutes. This ensures passengers have a reasonable window to reach the designated pickup point.
- 3.2. For pickups at airports and ports, we extend a 60 minutes grace period for waiting, recognising the potential complexities of travel schedules in these environments.
- 3.3. If a passenger fails to meet the driver within the stipulated waiting time, the booking is marked as a “no-show,” associated fees may be applicable to account for resources expended.
- 3.4. For a “deferred” pickup time, where passengers request a collection after [X] minutes following the flight’s landing, Tappaxi Ltd will accommodate this. However, customers who opt for this service do not have the right to extend their waiting time beyond the specified period. Compensation will not be forthcoming if passengers are prepared earlier than their plan and must await the driver until the agreed collection time.
- 3.5. Opting for Fixed-time pickup demands careful attention to selecting a time before your scheduled flight landing. When booking, choose the deferred pickup. When communication is not feasible, the driver will be instructed to leave the airport. Please note that compensation won’t be extended if your flight has not landed by the appointed pickup time. If you’re already in the country and prepared for pickup, you can opt for Fixed time pickup, which will follow the standard pickup procedure as the time is fixed.

- 5.4. Our operations are optimised to accommodate luggage within the specified weight and size criteria. We kindly request passengers to ensure that each piece of luggage conforms to these standards before their journey.
