8. Performance of the service
8.1 Pickup and delays
For immediate bookings, driver availability is indicated to the Customer at the time of booking. For advance bookings, the driver will arrive at the agreed time. A waiting time of 10 minutes is included in the base fare. Beyond this period, additional waiting fees of CHF 1 per minute apply.
8.1.a Taxi bookings
Bookings with immediate pickup are made subject to the availability of vehicles and drivers. An immediate booking request is only final once confirmed by GetTaxi.
For any immediate departure request, GetTaxi recommends contacting the dispatch on +41 21 624 00 00 or via WhatsApp on the same number, to check real-time availability and reduce the pickup time.
If an immediate booking is made on the website and no vehicle is ultimately available, GetTaxi reserves the right to cancel the booking. The amount paid is refunded to the Customer, less any non-refundable transaction fees actually charged to GetTaxi by the payment provider.
For advance bookings, the driver arrives at the agreed date, time and address. A free waiting time of 10 minutes is included from the scheduled pickup time. Beyond this period, if the Customer is reachable and confirms their imminent arrival, waiting fees of CHF 1 per minute (or part thereof) are charged until pickup.
If the Customer does not appear and remains unreachable despite reasonable attempts at contact, the booking is considered a “No-Show”. The driver is authorised to leave the pickup location once the 10 minutes of free waiting have elapsed. The booking is cancelled and charged in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.
8.1.b Airport transfers
For pickups from an airport, GetTaxi tracks flights based on the flight number provided by the Customer. The Customer is responsible for the accuracy of the information provided.
Where a flight delay is known or announced at least 90 minutes before the initially scheduled pickup time, GetTaxi adjusts the pickup time to the new arrival time, at no extra charge. Where a delay is announced less than 90 minutes before the initially scheduled pickup time, the driver may already be committed; in that case, the originally booked pickup time remains applicable, even if the flight is delayed.
From the applicable pickup time, a free waiting time of 30 minutes is granted. This period notably covers police checks, luggage retrieval, customs formalities and any other formality related to the flight's arrival. Beyond the 30 minutes, waiting fees of CHF 1 per minute (or part thereof) are charged until pickup or cancellation of the booking.
8.1.c No-Show
The Customer must reach the pickup point communicated by GetTaxi within the applicable free waiting time and remain reachable on the number provided at booking.
For airport transfers, the meeting point is the one indicated in the booking confirmation. Unless otherwise stated, it is located in the arrivals hall, where the driver waits for the Customer with a name sign.
Failing appearance within the applicable period and in the absence of a response to reasonable contact attempts, GetTaxi may leave the pickup location, cancel the booking and charge the ride in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.
8.2 Unforeseen delays
GetTaxi makes every effort to respect the agreed schedules. However, delays may exceptionally occur due to events beyond its control, in particular traffic, accidents, bad weather, road closures, checks by the authorities, demonstrations or any other case of force majeure. In the event of a significant delay, the Customer is informed as soon as possible.
9. Cancellation and modification of bookings
9.1 Cancellation policy
- Cancellation more than 24 hours before the trip: free of charge.
- Cancellation between 12 and 24 hours before the trip: 50% of the fare will be charged.
- Cancellation less than 12 hours before the trip, or no-show: 100% of the fare will be charged.
9.2 Modifications
Booking modifications may be made up to 12 hours before the scheduled departure, subject to availability. Any modification after this period is subject to GetTaxi's approval and may incur additional fees.
10. Right of withdrawal
In accordance with the applicable legal provisions, transport services are not subject to a right of withdrawal. Consequently, once the booking is confirmed, it is considered final.
11. Liability
11.1 GetTaxi's liability
GetTaxi undertakes to provide a quality service. However, GetTaxi cannot be held liable for delays or cancellations caused by circumstances beyond its control (force majeure, weather conditions, accidents, etc.).
11.2 Customer's liability
The Customer is liable for any damage caused to the vehicle during the trip. In the event of damage, GetTaxi will charge the Customer the repair costs.
