OPERATOR RESPONSIBILITY

Transportation is provided via third party transportation providers. The vehicle operator (the “Operator”) offers transportation services which may be scheduled through use of the zTrip app or other Services provided by the Company. Through the agreements described above, the Company offers information and services to Users on behalf of its Operators to ensure transportation service delivery by Operators. Company does not and does not intend to directly provide transportation services.

Responsibility to accept and complete reservations made through our Service are dependent on the Operator. The Company is responsible for (1) ensuring effective, timely transmission of information to enable the arrangement of transportation services between the User and Operator and (2) using commercially reasonable efforts to arrange transportation services from a comparable substitute provider, or arrange for a refund of reservation fees, in the event the scheduled Operator does not complete the reservation.

VEHICLE AVAILABILITY

The Service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. For “Pick me up now” bookings, Operators do not guarantee availability of vehicles at all times. Transportation services are dependent on both user demand and Operator availability. For advance reservations, we will arrange transportation by an Operator based on the terms in the reservation. If for any reason we are unable to arrange services from and Operator, we may arrange a reservation with a different provider of approximate or better quality to complete the reservation.

WAIT TIMES

Wait times will vary for “Pick me up now” service, dependent on traffic, weather, and vehicle availability. Users are encouraged to monitor the estimated wait time using the Service. For advance reservations, we will arrange for an Operator to arrive on or before the scheduled time of pickup at the location entered by the User. If, for some reason, the Operator does not arrive as scheduled, the User must call the number provided and we will user commercially reasonable effort to arrange for services from a substitute Operator. The User is responsible for being available by phone in the event the Operator calls for assistance, such as to be let into a gated community, at or near the time of pickup.

Travel Times and Delays

zTrip and its partners are not responsible for significant delays in anticipated arrival due to traffic, extreme weather, road construction, or other unforeseen circumstances. Users are responsible for requesting a vehicle in enough time to make any necessary appointments, including flights.

CANCELLATION POLICY

For “Pick me up now” reservations, Users can cancel a zTrip ride at any time up to the minute before arrival. The User may be assessed up to a $10 cancellation fee. If for any reason the Operator cannot find the User at the designated pick-up location and cannot reach him or her for further instruction, the ride is treated as a cancellation, and may be assessed up to the $10 cancellation fee.

For advance reservations, we cannot refund payment if canceled with less than four (4) hours notice prior to pick-up time, or in the event of a no-show. No-shows result when the Operator cannot find the User at the designated pick-up location and cannot reach them for further instruction. This includes bookings made within four hours of pickup time. Users can cancel their trip in advance of the four hour window for a full refund using the mobile app or by calling 1 (855) MY ZTRIP (699-8747).

Cancellation Fee

This $10 cancellation fee goes to the Operator as a concession for time and fuel spent on the booking once it has been dispatched.

LOST OR DAMAGED ITEMS

Lost and Found

The Company and its Operators are not liable for lost items left behind in any vehicle by a User. However, we do want to help Users reunite with lost items, whenever possible. If an item is lost, the Company recommends Users immediately follow the protocol to increase the likelihood of recovery.

  1. Call the Operator using the number provided on your confirmation.
  2. If the Operator cannot be reached, call Customer Care at 1 (855) MY ZTRIP (699-8747) .
  3. If the Operator finds your item, either the Operator or Customer Advocacy may notify you. The Company will do one of the following:
    1. Bring the item(s) to the User: Operator will correspond with you directly to arrange delivery. A delivery fee may be charged by the Operator.
    2. Bring the item(s) to the Company’s local service center: The Company, or your Operator, will notify you of how and when the item will be available for pickup.
    3. Mail the item to the User: This option is provided for out-of-area and international Users. The User must provide a shipping address for this option. Shipping fees will be marked payable on delivery; user will be responsible for related shipping costs.

If your item is found, it may take 2-3 business days for Customer Care to notify you. The Customer Advocacy team, which provides lost and found support at the national level, is open Monday through Friday between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM CST. It is closed on weekends.

Damaged Items

While our Operators take great care in securing your possessions, normal wear and tear to personal items is typical of the handling process during transportation. The Company and/or operator is not responsible for damage due to this handling process. Transporting large items, such as luggage, may result in scratches, dings, and nicks. It is your responsibility to ensure any belongings kept with you in the main seating compartment of the vehicle are securely packed and fastened, and that any breakable items are protected while using an Operator’s transportation services. If you are transporting fragile items, please notify the Operator. The User must report significant damage to any personal items during use of the Service immediately to Customer Care at 1 (855) MY ZTRIP (699-8747) so we may communicate the report to the Operator. The Operator or its agent reserves the right to inspect the item and determine the type and amount of reimbursement, if any, based on damages.

CLEANING CHARGES

A clean, tidy vehicle is essential to continued success for our Operators. Damage caused by the User to the interior or exterior of a zTrip vehicle during a ride, such as vomiting or pet accidents, may result in a cleaning fee, dependent on the damage. Fees will be assessed and charged to the User only when applicable, and only after the User has been notified.

BILLING

Pricing

Operator rates will vary based on selected service type and distance traveled. When both the pickup and drop-off locations are entered at time of booking, an estimate is quoted at the time of booking. Pricing is calculated based on expected distance. Rates may change based on trip route, traffic delays and applicable state or municipal regulations.

If the User does not provide a drop-off- location, and instead selects the “I Will Tell the Driver” option, he or she will be given a rate including the pick-up fee and additional per-mile fee. Tolls are included in the calculated cost of the ride.

All amounts stated in these Terms are charged by Operators and collected by the Company on behalf of Operators.

Payments

Any fees incurred are charged at the time of booking and are refundable following the terms outlined in the Cancellation Policy above.

Additional Fees

The following additional fees may be applied, as needed:

  • Large items and excess baggage: $10.00 flat
  • Extra Stops: $10.00 per stop
  • Pets: $0.00

Vouchers and Discounts

Vouchers and discounted future rides are not available for Users at this time. These maybe available from time to time and their use, terms and conditions will be established by the voucher and/or discount that is made available.

CHILDREN AND MINORS

Infants and children are permitted. Each child will count as a single passenger, and take up one available seat. Children are not permitted to ride in laps and will likely require a child safety seat. We do not provide car seats at this time.

Users under the age of 16 are not permitted to use the Service without an adult guardian present for the entire duration. Operators may refuse service if a child is not old enough to ride alone or is lacking an adult guardian.

PET POLICY

Pets are permitted with advance reservations. All pets, excluding Service Animals, must be kenneled. Pets less than 25 lbs may be held in a lap carrier; pets larger than 25 lbs may require special arrangements. All pets must be properly secured within the carrier at all times.

Per ADA requirements, Service Animals are permitted on our Operator’s vehicles. Please be mindful of vehicle size while booking rides with a Service Animal.

INTERNET ACCESSIBILITY AND DELAYS

Use of the Service may be subject to limitations, delays, and other problems inherent in the use of the internet and electronic communications. The Company and its partners are not responsible for delays, delivery failures, or other damage resulting from such problems or for delays or issues arising from incompatible devices.

CUSTOMER SERVICE CONCERNS AND FEEDBACK

Users are encouraged to notify us of their experience, good or bad. In the event of transportation service failure, Operators may provide compensation as determined based on the nature of the incident, and Users may receive compensation in the form of a partial or complete refund, reservation credits, or through other means. Neither the Company nor an Operator is responsible for amounts greater than the cost of the services booked.

USER ERROR

When User provides information for travel, the User agrees that the information will be accurate. Additionally, it is the User’s responsibility to ensure download of the correct application for this Service. We are not responsible for mistakes made by Users while using the Service. This includes incorrect pickup or drop-off- locations, requested pickup times, contact information – especially the phone number which is so critical to service delivery – or any other information entered while using the Service. Users are encouraged to consider the following while booking:

  • Vehicle size is limited.
  • Each passenger requires his or her own seat.
  • Luggage must be stored securely in the rear of vehicle.
