terms & conditions
By booking Del Boy's Van from Trotters Wedding and Transport Services you are confirming your acceptance of these terms and conditions in full and agree to be bound by them. These terms and conditions are set out to protect both the client and the service providers.
A non-refundable deposit of 50% will confirm your booking. The balance is due at least 14 days prior to the event.
All quotes are valid for 7 days. Changes made to the booking after the quote has been accepted may incur further charges. If you need to cancel, we need to have the cancellation in writing no later than one calendar month prior to the date of hire. Failure to do so may result in the hirer being asked to pay the full amount outstanding.
The client must provide full details of their itinerary at the booking stage, this must include pick up and drop off addresses, times, routes and any special requests or requirements, as Trotters Wedding and Transport Services will not be held responsible for any incorrectly advised information. Clients must also inform us if they wish to make any amendments to any trip, destination or change of times etc. In all cases the driver reserves the right on the day not to take the hired vehicle along unmade or unsafe roads, including tracks or narrow lanes, pathways or areas with protruding growth. When planning your event you must take into consideration that the hired vehicle will be driven sedately and as a guide will not exceed 40mph.
All cancellations must be in writing. For cancelled bookings more than 6 weeks before the event, you will lose the deposit you have paid. For cancellations less than 6 weeks before the event, 100% of the total hire cost will be payable.
The duration of hire shall commence from whichever is the later of the time stated on the booking form, or the actual time of the vehicles arrival at the collection address. Any additional hire time above and beyond that on the booking form, howsoever it is incurred, shall be charged at £50 per hour or part hour and is payable directly to the driver.
The hirer is responsible for all persons who travel in the vehicle and their actions. It is also the hirers responsibility to ensure that all passengers are aware of these terms and conditions prior to any travel.
Every effort will be made to ensure that the Del Boy Van will be fully working and able to attend your event. As the vehicle is over 40 years old, we cannot 100% guarantee this. In these circumstances we may offer an alternative vehicle or a full refund will be given not exceeding the amount paid to hire the vehicle.

There is a strict no smoking policy in the vehicles at all times.
Maximum number of passengers is 4 adults including the driver. These are maximums and dependent upon size of passengers.
Trotters Wedding and Transport Services requires its drivers to abide by UK law and so requires all passengers to wear seatbelts where fitted.
