As the drivers are liable during the service period, they are instructed to comply with and ensure compliance with road regulations and the laws in force. Under no circumstances may the Customer require the driver to exceed the authorised speed limit or to commit traffic offences. Similarly, the drivers shall refrain from lending their assistance to any undertaking or action that is contrary to morality or good manners. The Customer undertakes to behave correctly, not to smoke or consume drugs or alcoholic beverages inside the vehicle. Seatbelts must be worn both front and rear. Failure to comply with this rule releases the Seller from any liability in the event of an accident. The Vendor reserves the right to stop the service or to refuse access to the vehicle to anyone behaving in an aggressive, disrespectful, vulgar or insulting manner towards customers, passers-by, road users or the driver. If the service is stopped or refused, the full cost of the service will be invoiced and no compensation will be payable. Also, booking a vehicle does not guarantee access to the vehicle, as the driver is authorised by the Management, for safety or medical reasons, to refuse access to people with an alcohol level that he considers to be advanced or requiring specific care. Any major damage or soiling caused to the vehicle or its equipment will be charged to the Customer. Any damage to the vehicle or damage caused by the Customer inadvertently opening the doors or windows will be invoiced to the Customer. For this reason, the Vendor asks the Customer to allow the driver to open and close the vehicle doors. The bringing and consumption of food and drink, other than those made available to the Customer by the Vendor, are not accepted in the vehicle unless prior agreement has been given by the driver. No animals will be accepted in the vehicle except in a cage or hermetically sealed container provided for this purpose. The acceptance of any animal in the vehicle remains at the sole discretion of the driver. Tips are neither included nor compulsory. They are left to the Customer's discretion. When the journey is long, the driver must rest during the journey to ensure the safety of the Customer and the vehicle and to comply with the regulations in force.

Luggage must therefore fit in the rear boot of the vehicle and be of a reasonable size that does not compromise the safety of passengers or the driver. The weight of luggage is limited to 25 kg per passenger. In the event of luggage exceeding the weight indicated above, the Customer must inform the Vendor when booking the service.
