The customer is responsible for providing accurate and complete information during the booking process, as well as for all communication with Travel Calls regarding modifications, special requests, or specific instructions related to the service. They are also responsible for ensuring full payment of all applicable charges, including service fees, insurance (if any), and any additional costs related to changes, additions, or cancellations. It is the customer’s duty to keep all travelers informed about the booking details and any subsequent updates. By confirming a reservation, the customer acknowledges that all travelers accept and agree to our General Terms and Conditions.

A "Passenger" is the individual whose name appears on the reservation form and for whom the travel service is booked. While the passenger can also be the customer, this is not always the case. Each passenger is expected to comply with all travel-related requirements and is responsible for carrying valid identification and necessary travel documents. It is important that the information provided for each passenger is accurate to avoid any disruptions during the journey.

If there is any conflict between the Partner Terms and these General Terms and Conditions, these General Terms shall prevail. All partners are duly registered and hold the required licenses to provide the services.

"Confirmation" is an official document that verifies your reservation and includes all the details provided in the booking form unless specified otherwise. This confirmation is sent to you via email once your booking is successfully processed. It serves as proof of your reservation and contains important information about the service booked. Please review it carefully and keep it for your reference throughout your travel.

3. NATURE AND SCOPE OF THE SERVICE

The transport service offered through www.thetravelcalls.com involves the arrangement of a vehicle with a professional driver for travel by road within India. The exact route of the journey may vary and cannot be guaranteed in advance. Any route maps shown on our website are for illustrative purposes only. While we make every effort to adhere to the scheduled pick-up and drop-off times as provided during the booking, all timings and durations are approximate and should be treated as estimates.

If you are unable to locate your driver at the scheduled pick-up point, it is your responsibility to contact our Customer Support team immediately using the contact details provided. Choosing to arrange alternative transportation without notifying us first will release The Travel Calls from any contractual, practical, or legal responsibility, including any eligibility for a refund.

In the event that you are not present at the confirmed pick-up time and location, and do not arrive within 30 minutes of the scheduled time (or 60 minutes for airport pick-ups), and fail to contact us by phone or email—or do not respond to two call attempts made to the contact number provided during booking—your booking will be marked as a no-show. In such cases, the full fare will be charged, and no refund will be issued. Our server’s digital call records shall serve as official proof of our contact attempts.

Please note that the vehicle images shown on our website are indicative and may differ slightly from the vehicle assigned to you. To maintain comfort and service quality, The Travel Calls reserves the right to assign a larger vehicle or more than one vehicle of similar value without prior notice.

It is your responsibility to verify your scheduled pick-up time and ensure that you reach your boarding point (such as an airport, railway station, or bus terminal) with sufficient time to complete any check-in or security procedures. The assigned driver will pick you up and drop you off as close as possible to the address provided. In cases where regular access is restricted due to traffic, weather conditions, road closures, or other local factors, and you request an alternate or extended route, you will be liable for any additional charges incurred

4. BOOKING PROCEDURE

When you click the "Book" button on our website or complete your booking over the phone, it means you fully agree to these Terms and Conditions. Please note that only this official booking process counts as a confirmed reservation. Any prior discussions, calls, or chats with our team will not be considered a confirmed booking, nor will they alter any part of these terms.

Our obligation to arrange your transport service begins only after you receive the official Booking Confirmation from us. Once we send this Confirmation to your registered email address, it acts as proof of your reservation, and you agree to pay the full service amount as per the details in your booking. Our internal email system records will serve as valid proof of delivery.

Upon receiving the Confirmation, you are required to verify all details carefully, including pick-up and drop-off locations, timing, and passenger information. While we make efforts to check flight or train schedules where applicable, the responsibility for entering correct and updated information lies solely with you. We shall not be held liable for delays, missed connections, or other issues arising from incorrect details.

Your responsibility towards us ends once the service is completed or if it is cancelled in accordance with our cancellation policy. We recommend keeping a copy of the Booking Confirmation (either printed or saved on your phone) during your journey. It helps resolve any concerns quickly and serves as official proof of your booking and its terms.

It is your responsibility to ensure you meet all legal travel requirements for your journey. This includes having valid identity documents, e-tickets, certificates (if needed), and complying with local laws during your trip. We advise checking applicable guidelines regarding Aadhaar, vaccination records, train/flight boarding rules, and baggage restrictions in advance to ensure a smooth travel experience.

A passenger will be considered a no-show if they fail to appear at the pickup location by the scheduled transfer time, including the full waiting period provided.

The driver will be waiting for you with a sign displaying your name or the logo of The Travel Calls, so you can easily identify them at the meeting point.

If your flight is delayed, please notify us as soon as you receive the updated information so we can adjust the pickup time accordingly.

If your train, bus, or boat is delayed, kindly inform our Customer Support team at least 30 minutes before your scheduled pickup time. This helps us coordinate with your driver and avoid additional waiting charges.

If your flight, train, or boat arrives earlier than the reserved transfer time, please wait until the scheduled pickup. You may contact Customer Support to request an earlier pickup time, but approval depends on vehicle availability and cannot be guaranteed. All change requests should be made at least 24 hours in advance.

The pickup location is the address mentioned in your reservation. For transfers from airports, railway stations, or bus terminals, the driver will meet you upon arrival, based on the flight, train, or bus number you provided, or at the official disembarkation area. If meeting at the designated location is not possible, we’ll contact you via phone or email to arrange the nearest convenient meeting point. To ensure a smooth pickup, please double-check that your flight, train, bus, or ship information is correct when booking. You can also leave a note for the driver in the special instructions section.

If we are unable to reach you by phone or email within 30 minutes of the scheduled pickup time (or 60 minutes for airport pickups), the reservation will be considered a no-show. In such cases, our digital call and communication logs will serve as official proof of contact attempts.

If your reservation is marked as a no-show, no refund will be provided. Any pending refunds or cash-back claims will be voided, and you will receive a cancellation confirmation. For return transfers paid partially or fully by card, we will contact you to confirm your return trip. If confirmation is not received at least 24 hours before the scheduled return time, we will cancel it, and no refund or alternative transfer will be issued
