Be sure to quote "FONDO23" within your booking.
BOOKING GUIDANCE
Book Early
Demands for transport will be very high throughout this very popular festival and all requests are subject to availability. We are confident that we can meet all requests but it is highly recommended that you book early to get your first preference.
Children and Infants
- Children are defined by Exemplar as 2yo-11yo inclusive. They travel at half the adult rate. Infants travel for free.
- Child seats and infant capsules are available at no charge but must be pre-booked.
- By law, these restraints cannot be fitted to vehicles with greater than 12 seats; so if you have a requirement you will need to book a transfer in a smaller-capacity private vehicle.
- Further, the restraint provided is governed by child/infant age. That is why we request ages on the booking form.
Cancellation Policy
Full refund if cancelled outside 24 hours from travel. Full forfeiture if inside 24 hours.
