6. Journey time, time of departure, waiting time, route

The journey time from Pécs to Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport is 3–3.5 hours on the average, depending on the time of the year, and on weather conditions (it may be longer in winter months and in extreme weather conditions). The route of the journey is not fixed and not set preliminarily; it may change in accordance with the reservations. The times of departure from the addresses specified are determined accordingly. If several passengers are collected, a delay of 5-10 minutes may occur. As our cars provide a classic collective shuttle service, passengers may also be collected, in addition to Baranya county, in Tolna and Somogy county. When scheduling the journeys we of course make our best to find the fastest possible solutions. Our primary route of travel is Motorway M6. If Client is not at the given address at the time specified the day before, the car driver can wait for him/her for 10 minutes the most. After this waiting time, the driver must continue the journey in order to keep the schedule. If the address or the telephone number is incorrectly communicated to Service Provider and this results in the failure of the car driver meeting the passenger, service is to be seen as completed and the full tariff will be charged to Client.

 

7. Departure from the airport, reception of passengers, waiting time

If Passenger refuses to accept the transfer at the modified time, s/he has the right to waive from the order (keeping the rules for the cancellation of travel), but Service Provider will offer a new option in each case. Due to the changes of transfers caused by flight delays, extra waiting time may be possible. Service Provider shall take no liability for any inconvenience coming from this.

If Client wishes to pay for the transfers separately, no discount price is applicable and tariffs calculated for single trips will be charged. If the reservation is for several persons and passengers depart or arrive at different times, no discount for return journey is applicable. If the address where Passenger is picked up or transported from the airport is not in Pécs, an extra pull-of charge is to be paid, as specified in the table “Pull-off charges outside Pécs” on our website.
