1 Acceptance and agreement

  • By confirming a quotation and proceeding with a payment, you agree to these terms, forming a binding contract between us.
  • We will confirm your booking via email once payment is received.
  • You are responsible for ensuring that all details on your booking confirmation are accurate and complete.
  • If you notice any error, you must notify us in writing within 24 hours of receiving the confirmation.
  • Any service, feature or item not explicitly listed on your booking confirmation is not included in the price.
  • We reserve the right to charge for any additional services requested after the booking is confirmed.

2 Payments

  • A deposit of 25% of the total booking price is due on or before the Booking Confirmation Date.
  • The remaining balance is due no later than 14 days prior to the first date of travel. If the booking is made within 14 days of travel, the full balance is due immediately.
  • If payment is not received by the due date, we reserve the right to cancel your booking, and you may forfeit any payments already made.
  • For account holders, a late fee and interest may apply as outlined in your credit arrangement.

3 Travel & passenger conduct

  • We will arrange for the provision of a vehicle and driver for your journey.
  • While we will make every reasonable effort to provide the vehicle type and features specified in your booking, we reserve the right to substitute the vehicle with one of a similar or higher capacity and standard. No additional charge will apply for an upgrade in this circumstance.
  • Travel times are estimated and not guaranteed.

Delays outside our control

We are not liable for delays caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to:

  • Traffic congestion, roadworks or diversions.
  • Adverse weather conditions.
  • Unforeseen vehicle mechanical issues or accidents.

Punctuality and no-shows

  • You must ensure that all passengers are ready to board at the scheduled departure time. Our driver will normally be on site around 15 minutes beforehand.
  • If you are running late, please contact us as soon as you know, and no later than the scheduled departure time.
  • If no passenger has boarded 30 minutes after the scheduled departure time, the driver will contact our office and we will allow a further 15 minutes to reach you.
  • If we are still unable to make contact, a no-show will be declared 45 minutes after the scheduled departure time. The driver may then leave the pick-up point and the booking will be treated as cancelled with no refund.
  • Waiting time forms part of your hire period. Any delay may shorten your itinerary, and if it extends the hire beyond the booked hours, additional charges may apply.

Conduct on board

  • You and all passengers must comply with the instructions of the driver and behave in a safe and respectful manner.
  • We reserve the right to terminate the service without compensation if any passenger poses a safety risk, engages in disruptive behaviour or violates our safety policies — for example aggressive behaviour, intoxication or smoking on board.
  • You will be held liable for any damage to the vehicle caused by you or your passengers.

  • You may terminate the agreement if we commit a material breach and fail to remedy it within 14 days of receiving your written notice.

5 Liability & consumer guarantees

Our services come with guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL) that cannot be excluded. Nothing in these terms is intended to limit your rights under the ACL.

  • Our liability is limited to the extent permitted by law, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss unless such liability cannot be lawfully excluded.
  • We are not responsible for lost or damaged personal belongings. You are responsible for your luggage and valuables at all times.

We value your feedback. All complaints must be submitted in writing to info@perthbusandcoachcharter.com.au.

  • Compensation claims: any claim for a refund or financial compensation must be submitted in writing with supporting evidence within 72 hours of the booking completion.
  • General feedback: if you provide a complaint or feedback more than 72 hours and less than 7 days after the booking is completed, we will review it, but any compensation provided will be in the form of a credit for a future booking.
  • Procedure: we aim to provide a full response within 14 working days.
  • You agree to attempt to resolve any dispute with us directly before seeking external resolution, such as a chargeback.
