This includes checking:

Online bookings must be made at least 48 hours before the requested pickup time.
Bookings for journeys falling within the next 48 hours cannot be completed through the standard online booking process.
If you require transport within the 48-hour period, contact LM Tours directly.
Where operationally possible, LM Tours may assess the request and determine whether the journey can be accommodated.
An urgent transport request is not guaranteed until LM Tours confirms availability.
7. Quotations
Customers may request a quotation instead of proceeding directly to payment.
A quotation is based on the information available to LM Tours at the time it is prepared.
A quotation may be subject to confirmation of vehicle availability, journey requirements and any other information relevant to the requested service.
A quotation does not constitute a confirmed booking until the applicable confirmation requirements have been completed.
If the customer's requirements change, the quotation may need to be reviewed or updated.
8. Pricing and Surcharges
The price displayed during the booking or quotation process is based on the journey information and service options selected by the customer.
Depending on the journey, applicable charges may include:
- Base fare
- Distance-based charges
- Vehicle pricing
- After-hours surcharge
- Weekend surcharge
- Public holiday surcharge
- Waiting time
- Additional luggage or transport requirements
- Baby seat
- Trailer
- Other applicable extras
LM Tours may apply applicable surcharges based on the date and time of the requested journey.
After-hours periods, weekends and public holidays may attract additional charges.
The applicable price presented during the booking or quotation process should be reviewed before confirmation.
Where a manual quotation is required, the applicable price will be communicated by LM Tours.
9. Payment
Where online payment is available, customers may be required to complete payment through the designated payment process.
Not every booking or quotation request necessarily requires immediate online payment.
Where payment is required to confirm a booking, the booking will only be treated as confirmed once the applicable payment requirement has been successfully completed and the booking confirmation has been issued.
Customers are responsible for ensuring that payment information is entered correctly.
If a payment fails, the customer should follow the available payment instructions or contact LM Tours for assistance.
Where an outstanding balance applies, the customer remains responsible for settling the applicable amount.
10. Booking Confirmation
A booking is confirmed once the applicable booking and payment requirements have been completed and LM Tours has issued confirmation.
A booking reference may be provided for the confirmed journey.
Customers should retain their booking reference and review the confirmation details carefully.
If any information is incorrect, the customer should contact LM Tours as soon as possible.
A quotation request is not a confirmed booking.
A quote request must first be reviewed and accepted according to the applicable quotation process.
11. Changes to Bookings
Customers may request changes to a booking subject to availability and the applicable booking terms.
Changes may include:
- Pickup or destination information
- Date
- Time
- Passenger information
- Vehicle requirements
- Additional services
A requested change is not confirmed until LM Tours confirms the change.
Changes may result in an adjustment to the booking price.
12. Rescheduling
Customers may request to reschedule a journey instead of cancelling it.
Rescheduling is subject to vehicle availability, operational requirements and the applicable booking terms.
A rescheduled journey may result in a different price where the journey date, time, distance, vehicle or applicable surcharge changes.
The new journey is only confirmed once LM Tours has accepted and confirmed the requested change.
If the requested new date or time is unavailable, LM Tours may assist the customer in identifying another available option.
13. Cancellation
Customers may request cancellation of a booking.
Cancellation requests are subject to the applicable LM Tours cancellation and refund conditions.
Customers are encouraged to contact LM Tours as soon as possible if they no longer require a journey.
Where permitted, customers may choose to reschedule the journey instead of cancelling.
Cancellation charges may apply depending on when the cancellation request is made and the applicable booking conditions.
14. Refunds
Payments are generally not refundable solely because a customer no longer wishes to travel.
Where a customer requests cancellation within three days of making the booking, the applicable refund may be considered in accordance with the booking and cancellation conditions.
After three days from the date the booking was made, customers are encouraged to reschedule the service rather than request a full refund.
Where a cancellation is accepted after the applicable refund period, a cancellation fee may be deducted from any refund that is due.
The applicable cancellation fee and refund amount may depend on the circumstances of the cancellation.
Refunds are subject to the applicable booking conditions and any mandatory rights provided by applicable law.
15. Passenger Responsibilities
Customers and passengers are responsible for providing accurate information and complying with reasonable instructions relating to the journey.
Passengers must behave appropriately and respectfully towards LM Tours personnel, drivers and other passengers.
Passengers must not intentionally damage the vehicle or interfere with the safe operation of the journey.
The customer may be responsible for costs resulting from intentional or negligent damage caused by a passenger, subject to applicable law.
Passengers must comply with applicable laws and safety requirements during the journey.
16. Vehicle and Service Availability
Vehicle availability depends on the requested date, time, journey requirements and operational availability.
Selecting a vehicle during the booking process does not create a guarantee of a particular vehicle where circumstances require LM Tours to make an operational adjustment.
Where necessary, LM Tours may provide a suitable alternative vehicle or transport arrangement.
Where a material change affects the customer's booking, LM Tours will communicate the relevant information to the customer.
17. Delays and Waiting Time
Journey times may be affected by traffic, road conditions, weather, accidents, airport delays, public events, road closures and other circumstances outside the reasonable control of LM Tours.
Customers should provide accurate pickup information and be ready at the agreed pickup time.
Where waiting time charges apply, the applicable waiting time fee may be charged according to the booking or pricing terms.
For airport pickups, customers should provide accurate flight information where requested.
18. Luggage and Additional Requirements
Customers are responsible for providing accurate information about luggage and other requirements that may affect the vehicle or journey.
Vehicle luggage capacity varies by vehicle.
If luggage or passenger requirements exceed the capacity of the selected vehicle, LM Tours may require a different vehicle or customised transport arrangement.
Additional charges may apply where additional transport requirements are requested.
Customers should contact LM Tours if their requirements exceed the standard options available online.
19. Corporate and Group Bookings
LM Tours provides transport solutions for businesses, executives, delegates, teams, events and groups.
Corporate and group journeys may require additional planning and may be handled through a quotation process.
Where passenger numbers or transport requirements exceed the standard online booking capacity, customers should contact LM Tours for a customised transport solution.
A larger group requirement does not automatically mean that LM Tours cannot assist.
Customers are encouraged to contact the LM Tours team so that the appropriate transport solution can be assessed.
20. Driver and Operational Arrangements
LM Tours may assign a driver to a confirmed journey based on operational availability and the requirements of the booking.
Drivers may operate different vehicles on different days or shifts.
The driver assigned to a journey may therefore vary depending on operational requirements.
LM Tours may provide relevant driver and journey information to the customer through the applicable communication or customer portal systems.
Customers should follow reasonable instructions provided by LM Tours personnel or the assigned driver in relation to the safe and effective completion of the journey.
21. Service Limitations
LM Tours will make reasonable efforts to provide the services described in a confirmed booking.
However, transport services may be affected by circumstances outside the reasonable control of LM Tours.
Where circumstances prevent or materially affect the planned service, LM Tours will make reasonable efforts to communicate with the customer and identify an appropriate alternative where possible.
The availability of an alternative service is subject to operational circumstances.
22. Customer Accounts
Customers may create an account to access available booking, quotation, invoice, payment and profile information.
Customers are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their login credentials.
Customers must provide accurate information when creating or updating their account.
Customers should notify LM Tours if they believe their account has been accessed without authorisation.
LM Tours may restrict access to an account where necessary for security, operational or legal reasons.
23. Communication
