FUEL SURCHARGES
Due to fluctuations in fuel prices, all quoted fares are based on current fuel costs at the time of booking. In the event of a significant increase in fuel prices caused by market conditions, fuel shortages, government actions, or other circumstances beyond our control, UltiMate Executive Transfers reserves the right to apply a fuel surcharge.
Any applicable surcharge will be advised to the client prior to the scheduled service. The revised fare must be accepted before the service proceeds. If client does not accept the revised fare, the booking may be cancelled in accordance with our cancellation policy.
