Amenity Charges: Additional charges for these amenities will be clearly stated in the booking form's price list. Payment for these amenities is required to secure their provision for your transfer.
Fit and Suitability: While we endeavour to meet the specific requirements for amenities such as child seats, we cannot guarantee perfect fitment for all age groups or sizes. We recommend providing detailed information regarding age, height, and weight (where applicable) to facilitate the best possible match.
Selection and Payment of Amenities: When you select and pay for additional amenities as part of your transfer request, it is based on the understanding that these services are subject to the capabilities and compliance of our independent service providers (partners).

7. LUGGAGE POLICY
When selecting a vehicle, it's essential to account for both the quantity and dimensions of luggage. Each passenger is allowed one medium-sized piece of luggage (56cm x 45cm x 25cm) along with one item of hand luggage. Therefore, should you opt for an 8-passenger/8-seater vehicle for a transfer involving 4 passengers, you may carry up to 8 medium-sized suitcases and 8 pieces of hand luggage.
For all the luggage with varying dimensions, consider the allowable luggage capacity and the total number of passengers. Should you find difficulty in determining the suitable vehicle for your transfer needs, please reach out to our Customer Support Department at info@getbytransfer.com for guidance on the optimal vehicle selection.
If the number of passengers or the volume of luggage exceeds the amount specified in the reservation, making the initially chosen vehicle unsuitable, you must promptly contact the Customer Support Department. Our team will endeavour to accommodate your needs by offering a suitable vehicle option at a new price. However, Get By ApS is not responsible for nor obliged to rectify such situations. If you agree to the price difference, we will send you an amended Confirmation. If you cancel the transfer due to the above, your reservation is subject to cancellation conditions within the last 24 hours.
8. WAITING TIME POLICY
The driver will await your arrival at the designated departure location at the time stated in the Confirmation. The included waiting time for your transfer is 30 minutes for airport departures and 15 minutes for departures from all other locations. This complimentary waiting period begins at the scheduled reservation time. Should your flight, train, or boat arrive early, please wait until the reservation's specified time.
If your arrival is delayed, the complimentary waiting period will be adjusted to start from the new time of arrival.
However, practical maximum waiting time might need to balance customer service with operational efficiency. Typically, a reasonable maximum waiting time for delays is no longer than 60 minutes (1 hour) for airport pickups.
Maximum waiting time varies based on several factors, including operational capacity; the ability of the service provider to accommodate longer waits without impacting other scheduled transfer services.
Should you require additional waiting time, please contact the Service provider using the phone number provided to you with the transfer Confirmation, as well as notify our Customer Support Department at info@getbytransfer.com as soon as possible. Additional waiting time will be granted and confirmed by the Service provider or our Customer Support, provided it does not conflict with the Carrier's schedule for the day. This extra waiting time is billed by the hour starting from the moment the initial free waiting time ends. Rates for additional waiting time are available upon request.

Should such inaccuracies result in an incorrect (lower than accurate) price being quoted, we will provide you with the option to accept a revised, correct price or to cancel the reservation. If you opt for cancellation, our standard cancellation policy will be enforced.
While we aim to fulfil and surpass the expectations of all our customers, there may be exceptional circumstances under which we are compelled to cancel the booked service. Such cancellations could arise from Force Majeure events, including weather-related disasters, strikes, and other unpredictable external situations beyond our control; technical issues, like a vehicle breakdown that cannot be promptly resolved with a replacement; or organisational reasons, among others.
Regardless of the causes and circumstances, we undertake a full refund to passengers for services ordered but not provided, unless the passenger is entitled to a refund due to the circumstances stated elsewhere in these General Terms and Conditions.

Should meeting at these predetermined locations be unfeasible, the Service provider or our Customer Support Department will contact you via phone or email to coordinate an alternative nearby departure point. It is crucial, therefore, that you supply us with the correct flight number, train route, originating bus location, or the name of your ship or island, in addition to a valid Approved contact number through which you can be reached. Please ensure to include the name of your ship or island, or the specifics of your bus or train journey, in a note to the driver at the time of booking.
In case that we are unable to establish contact with you within 30 minutes after the scheduled time of departure via the Approved Contact number on the booking or by email, we will declare the event as a no-show by the passenger. In accordance with established business practice, digital records from our servers will be considered proof of the time of telephone calls.
If, according to all the above, your service is declared a no show, you are not entitled to a refund. In that case, if you have a cash-back refund, it will be cancelled, and you will receive a cancellation confirmation. If you have a return transfer with full or partial payment by card, we will contact you to confirm your service. If you do not confirm the service within 48 hours before the return transfer time, we will cancel the service. In that case, you do not have the right to a refund or a return transfer.

Our Customer Support Team stands ready to assist with further arrangements that may be necessary due to the no-show, with the goal of reducing inconvenience and facilitating the continuation of your travel plans with as little disruption as possible, however the ability to organise an alternative solution for the transportation depends on various other elements that are out of Get By ApS control.

We recognize the impact a Partners no-show can have on your plans and emphasise our commitment to providing support and resolutions in these rare instances. Your satisfaction and trust in our services remain our top priority.
