This document lists the general conditions of sale and operation of the ALP1 passenger transport service (service sold by 'www.alp1transport.com', by telephone or by email). Any mention of “the company”  refers to ALP1. The term 'customer' refers to anyone making a booking. When the reservation concerns 2 or more people, the said “customer” is thus liable for any other person traveling under this reservation. The “customer” will be the first point of contact for any information or questions regarding the reservation.

  • By booking with ALP1 online or by telephone, the customer accepts these general conditions.

  • Full payment will be requested by ALP1 when booking.

  • Any modification made to a reservation within less than 14 days may incur an administrative charge of €50.

RESERVATION CONFIRMATION

  • Subject to availability, all reservations are confirmed upon receipt of the confirmation / voucher by email from ALP1. This confirmation will be sent within 24 hours of booking.

  • However, if the customer does not receive confirmation within 24 hours, the latter must contact ALP1 as soon as possible.

  • The customer must print his confirmation email and have it with him on the day of the transfer. This document serves as a transport ticket and must be presented to the ALP1 driver on request. This voucher is printable on  the website.

The customer is responsible:

  • to provide correct contact details, including an email address and a mobile phone number. In the event that ALP1 cannot provide its services due to incorrect contact details, the customer will be held responsible and will not have   any compensation.

  • communicate the correct flight information (including flight times, local time). Any complication or supplement resulting from incorrect information provided by the client will not be covered by ALP1. If the customer booking a transfer from Geneva airport communicates to ALP1 the take-off time instead of the landing time in Geneva, ALP1 reserves the right to reschedule the transfer (subject to availability) and to re-invoice the customer. If no vehicle is available to reschedule the transfer, ALP1 will have no liability to the client and the transfer will not be refundable.

  • provide the correct address of the place of destination and departure. It is also the customer's responsibility to have on him the address and contact details of his accommodation in order to be able to direct the driver there if necessary. If the accommodation cannot be found after 15 minutes of searching in the resort, ALP1 reserves the right to drop off the client at the resort's Tourist Office and/or to invoice the client for a supplement.

COLLECTIVE TRANSFERS 

  • If the customer books a collective transfer, he and his group will travel in one or more vehicles which they can share with other passengers.

  • Collective transfers are only available during the summer and winter seasonal operating periods.

  • Arrival at the airport: The customer will be greeted by a driver  d'ALP1 who will inform him of the approximate time of departure. The customer accepts that a potential wait of one hour maximum may be necessary in order to group a collective transfer according to the general conditions of sale. For arrivals before 08:00 and after 21:00, the waiting time could be longer. More flexibility will be requested from customers arriving late at night and traveling in the last shared transfer in the event of a flight delay for one of the last passengers. In this situation ALP1 will do its best to find an alternative travel solution with its transport partners. This is for shared transfers only, if passengers are uncomfortable with the potential wait we advise them to book a private transfer to ensure a quick departure from the airport.

  • Departure from the station: the customer will receive his transfer time the day before his departure by text message to the mobile phone number provided by the customer when booking. It is up to the customer to call ALP1 on 0033 (0)675953589 to obtain confirmation of the transfer time if he does not receive an SMS before 5.00 p.m. the day before departure. The departure time of the transfer is fixed at least 3 hours before the time of the flight and will be from 3:30 hours to 5:30 hours before the time of the flight in general. The departure time may be brought forward by the company depending on weather conditions, road traffic and schedule changes. If the customer is not at the place of departure, at the confirmed time, the ALP1 driver will wait a maximum of 5 minutes before leaving.

  • When a customer requests a specific departure time, ALP1 will try to satisfy this request according to availability but will decline all responsibility in the event of a delay resulting in additional costs by external services (train, flights, etc.). The driver will ask the customer to sign a waiver before the departure of the transfer. 

 

DELAYED, CANCELED OR POSTPONED FLIGHTS

  • In the event of a delayed flight, the customer must travel on the next available transfer. The customer may therefore have to wait at the airport, or have to share the vehicle with other customers. If the customer refuses to wait for the next available transfer, he is free to find an alternative solution at his convenience but no refund will be payable by ALP1.

  • In certain circumstances, the next availability may be by private transfer only, or postponed to the next day and would incur additional costs for the client.

  • If the driver has to wait more than 60min, a supplement of €40 per hour will be charged to the customer as compensation for the additional costs incurred by ALP1. If the client informs ALP1 of changes in flight times before the departure of the vehicle for the airport, no additional charge will be invoiced for the wait.

  • If the customer does not show up or contact ALP1 within 60 minutes of the *actual* arrival time, he will be considered “not present”. The driver will then be able to leave the airport and the customer will have to make a new reservation at his own expense.

  • In case of lost luggage at the airport, the customer should contact ALP1 as soon as possible on +33 (0) 675953589. If the loss of luggage causes a significant delay which may affect the departure of other customers or the general management of transfers from the day, the transfer of the passenger concerned may be rescheduled by the company, depending on availability.

  • When a flight is canceled and the customer therefore has to cancel their transfer less than 14 days in advance, no refund will be possible. All documentation necessary for an insurance claim will be provided upon request.

  • For flights arriving in Geneva, any delay of more than 1h30mn will be considered as a cancellation and a new reservation must be made by the customer at his own expense. All documentation necessary for an insurance claim will be provided upon request.
