Transfers
The term transfer implies transportation of passengers from a pickup location to the drop off location, and is driven in accordance with the reservation which has been made by the customer.
Prices of transfers are based upon the distance between the initial and the destination, number of passengers, type of vehicle and market conditions. Depending on the number of passengers, prices are formed into 4 groups (1-3 passengers, 4-8 passengers and 9-14 passengers & 15-20 passengers).
Prices for individual routes are available on our website. If the website does not have the price of the requested route, then the customer is to email a request to info@octopustransfers.com and we will provide a quotation for that route.
Passengers will be met at the agreed pickup location by a driver. The driver will drive the passenger to the agreed drop-off address or to the nearest possible location accessible by vehicle.
The Customer is required to sign a transfer agreement which is a legal obligation in Croatia and transfer prices are per vehicle and not per person.
Luggage
Personal luggage is included in the price. Standard Luggage is considered one large suitcase and one hand luggage per person. If the quantity of luggage is larger than standard luggage, it is necessary to inform us prior to the transfer so we can send a vehicle of suitable size for that transfer.
We are not responsible for missing items or any damage to fragile items contained in the luggage of clients.
We are not obligated to transport any extra luggage that was not declared in a reservation if there is not enough room in the vehicle.
We are not responsible for the content of luggage. We nor any of our contracted or sub-contracted drivers will accept responsibility for luggage loss or damage.
We and/or our contracted or sub-contracted drivers have the right to refuse any client or to make the journey due to the client having excess luggage which would result in the vehicle being unsafe whilst in motion.
Online Booking Procedure
A person who wants to make a reservation must be over 18 and have a valid credit / debit card or paypal account.
The customer is to select the route of their choice and then proceed in filling out the Octopus Travel booking form on the Octopus Travel website.
A customer who enters the data is responsible for its validity. We do not bear any responsibility for wrongly entered or untrue information. A person who enters the data for the group accepts the terms in the name of the whole group, and is responsible for the whole group.
We do not have to accept a reservation. If the reservation is accepted, the customer will receive an e-mail confirmation. If a reservation is not accepted and the payment is completed, the amount paid is returned in full and in the shortest possible time.
