Whenever possible, a call will be made to the passenger’s cell number before arrival to confirm that the chauffeur has arrived at the airport and to advise his/her location in the terminal which will normally be:

 

• Domestic Flights: At luggage carousel (where permitted)
• International Flights: Outside of Customs

 

The chauffeur will have a sign with the passenger’s name displayed on it.

If the passenger is unable to locate his/her chauffeur, it is their responsibility to call our 24-hour Dispatch Department at (800) 637-3373 who will be pleased to arrange contact. We regret to advise that should the passenger leave the location, without calling our office, a no-show charge will be applied.

Flights can be diverted due to technical difficulties or bad weather. Vitesse Worldwide cannot be held liable for extra charges incurred due to a flight diversion. If a diversion occurs, please try to contact our 24-hour Dispatch Department at the earliest opportunity once the flight has landed at (800) 637-3373 to let us know if you wish your vehicle to wait at your destination or to be released. We will also attempt to make contact with the passenger, or the person who made the reservation, to obtain instructions. If no contact is possible, the chauffeur will wait until the flight arrives and we will charge accordingly, including any wait time. In the event that the chauffeur was already at the airport when the flight is diverted and he/she is eventually released by the passenger, the charge will be the rate from the airport to our base plus waiting time, tolls and parking fees where applicable.

 

Please note that it might be possible to claim any charges that you incur as a result of a diversion from your airline.

Please be sure to obtain and retain your cancellation number. Failure to call will result in a No Show charge.

Vitesse Worldwide’s No. 1 priority is always the safety and security of our passengers, chauffeurs and vehicles.

 

Our policy is never to compromise when safety becomes an issue. Each severe weather event produces its own special conditions so it is not possible to define a hard-and-fast rule that covers every set of circumstances. However, to ensure our client’s safety during a severe weather event that causes hazardous driving conditions, we will implement the following policy.

 

We will monitor the weather forecast constantly for at least 24 hours prior to the arrival of a major storm to assess its strength and to evaluate the impact that it is expected to have on road conditions. If blizzard conditions, flooding, hurricane force winds or other types of severe weather are confirmed for the area, we will consult with the State Police or local authority. A decision, based on our professional judgment and the advice that we have received, will then be taken to continue to operate as normal or to cease operations. We will only cease operations when conditions are forecast to be extremely hazardous.

 

Once the decision to cease operations is made, we will attempt to contact every one of our customers affected by the decision by all the means at our disposal to inform them and to offer to re-schedule them on an alternative day. However, if contact is unsuccessful or if a customer is already on a flight to his/her destination, we will make every effort to arrange a pick-up to ensure that they are not stranded, especially at an airport.

 

When severe weather is forecast, we strongly advise our customers with flight reservations to maintain close contact with their airline for information on their flight status. We will re-instate our operation as soon as conditions improve and the roads are safe for travel once again.

 

While we value our client’s business extremely highly, we value their safety even more.
