    Please note that all online reservations are now subject to card payment only (the company reserves the right to accept cash payment or other forms of payment at its own discretion, but reservations can only be made with the assistance of an operator, via phone, email or chat online). This enforcement is now in place due to the sudden rise in “no shows” and fake reservations that we have been experiencing. If for any reason you need to cancel the booking, payment will be refunded according to our standard cancellation and refund policy.
    6.7. Travelling with Pets within the Vehicle
    Transport for London enforces that all licensed London taxis and minicabs offer their services to guide dog users without extra charging them. If a company or a driver has refused to undertake a journey or has charged you extra because of a guide dog, you can report them directly to the Transport for London Taxi and Minicab division. This applies to accredited assistance dog users only. Pets are allowed within certain vehicles only, so it would be ideal to pre-book such a requirement. We apply a flat £10.00 charge (or more, depending on special circumstances) for such occurrences and the pet must travel within a safe cage or secure safety lease/harness while in transit (this is a law requirement).
