problem with your booking, we will do everything possible to make it
right and keep you informed.

Act of God delays our service area or interrupts your reservation,
we will waive all cancellation fees and process a full refund.
Providing transportation to the traveling public is a privilege
that we have been serving for many years. In our experience, we have
come to realize that occasionally, things do go wrong. Delays do
happen and in most cases, they are beyond our control.

than 120 minutes providing the delay is not traffic or weather
related. All of our Shuttles are equipped with Two-Way GPS Tracking
