10. Transfer Voucher Policies
- Vouchers are mandatory to board Handicap Travelers DR services on arrival and departure.
- Boarding of any vehicle could be denied if you do not have a voucher.
- Only one voucher is accepted for each service.
- You cannot share an extra voucher with someone else by making a copy or an image.
- Make sure to keep a screenshot of the voucher, or use one of the following options:
- Download the voucher (PDF) — recommended.
- The voucher web link option provided on the confirmation message (internet connection required for the link to open).
- Vouchers include the client's name, flight information, number of passengers, and their destination.
- Vouchers must be kept handy: they contain information on where to meet the driver at the airport, your pickup time back to the airport on the day you leave, where to meet the driver at the hotel, the local customer service phone number for calls, text messages or WhatsApp, and our email address.
11. Private Transfer Policies
- Handicap Travelers DR will email all customers a confirmation message after receiving your paid booking.
- We will include vouchers according to the type of service you booked.
- All passengers MUST arrive on the same flight. Handicap Travelers DR will not accept passengers arriving on multiple flights to share transfers with other parties, even if they know each other or the arrival times are close. Parties arriving on different flights MUST book separate transfers.
- Vouchers are mandatory to board the service on arrival and departure.
- Inaccurate information provided by the customer: the client is responsible for providing accurate and precise information at the time of booking. Handicap Travelers DR will not assume any responsibility for errors made by the client during the reservation process related to the hotel name, airline schedules, number of passengers, or wrong dates.
- Booking mistakes: if the client makes a mistake and misses the transfer, the money will not be refunded, and a new reservation must be made and paid for.
- Flight monitoring: Handicap Travelers DR will monitor arrival flights and send the driver to pick up the customer accordingly.
- Finding the driver at the airport: if for any reason you cannot find the driver at the airport, call the local phone number on the voucher. Do not go with someone else who approaches you (it is dangerous); try to find your driver. Our representative at the airport will send a text message to your phone to try to locate you if you have not arrived after an extended period.
- Flight cancellations or missed flights: if your flight is cancelled or you miss your connecting flight, you need to contact Handicap Travelers DR at least 3 hours prior to the service. If we send the driver to your pickup without any information about your new flight, an additional fee for a new transfer will be charged.
- Pickup times back to the airport are time sensitive. The driver will wait only 10 minutes after the assigned pickup time and will then leave; no money will be refunded.
- If for any reason customers need to contact us via phone call from the hotel, please do not have bellboys, concierges or butlers call on your behalf; we will only accept calls directly from the customer for any inquiry.
- Pickup times back to the airport from your hotel are assigned in advance and listed on your voucher. We strongly suggest that you do not request a change and keep the suggested pickup time. If you decide to change the pickup time back to the airport, it will be at your own risk. Handicap Travelers DR will not assume any responsibility if you encounter an issue with your flight due to a vehicle breakdown, flat tire, heavy traffic, an accident on the road or anything else that could delay your arrival to the airport.
- Departure flight delays: if on the day of your departure you find out that your flight is delayed, be advised that we will do our best to try to accommodate your request; however it is very unlikely that we will be able to change your pickup time because the transfer schedule is set up the day before and any changes could disrupt other customer pickups. Please understand that it is your airline that is at fault for flight delays and not Handicap Travelers DR. You will have two choices: accept the original pickup time or cancel the reservation and hire a taxi.
- Stops: we offer clients who arrive through the airports and go to their hotel the option of stops en route to their destination, whether to eat, take photos or visit some place. Stops are charged in blocks of 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes. The client must choose the desired stop time during the reservation process and write a comment stating where they wish to stop.
- By way of illustration, if the client contracts a 30-minute stop and the contracted time is exceeded, they must pay for 1 hour. In other words, fractions of a minute are paid at the value of the following time range.
- Detours of more than 800 meters from the original route are not allowed.
- Any stop that a client needs to make must be with the consent of Handicap Travelers DR. If the stop is not scheduled, the driver will not stop until reaching the destination. If this is the case, you must use the restroom and buy any snacks before leaving the airport.
- It is at the discretion of the driver not to stop somewhere that they understand is dangerous.
- Handicap Travelers DR is not responsible for any problem or situation that may occur at a stop; it is the customer's responsibility to exercise judgment and avoid any inconvenience.
- Flight information on our website: our booking system is linked to Flightstats, the company that keeps track of most commercial airline schedules. As a result, when a customer selects the airline name and types in the flight number during the booking process, our automated booking system populates the arrival and departure time fields if the flight information is correct. This is done to avoid mistakes when typing an incorrect flight number that could put your transfer at risk. When a customer inserts incorrect flight information, the system presents an error and does not allow the reservation to continue. For charter flights and some airlines that are not very organized in terms of their schedules, the time fields are open and the customer can type in the correct times under their own responsibility, making sure they are correct.
12. Luggage
- The amount of luggage permitted depends on the number of passengers (1 suitcase and 1 carry-on each). If customers are bringing larger luggage than allowed, you must book a vehicle for a larger number of people.
- Golf bags, surf boards and pets are allowed on Handicap Travelers DR transfers for a fee.
- Articles, cell phones, or luggage left in vehicles: our drivers always check the vehicle with customers to avoid leaving belongings behind. Customers are responsible for their luggage. If a client leaves an article in a vehicle and Handicap Travelers DR needs to return it, an additional fee will be charged according to the distance driven. This additional fee could be from $30.00 to $100.00 USD for going back to the hotel or the airport.
13. Child Seats
- Handicap Travelers DR provides child seats for a fee on the website. You are also welcome to bring your own.
- Car seats under DR Law 63-17, Article 69: "Children up to the age of twelve (12) will be transported in the back seats of the vehicle, except in the case of one (1) cab van type vehicles. Children up to six (6) years old will be transported in a special seat for infants with a face-forward position and those over six (6) years old and up to twelve (12) years old must use a booster that allows them to secure the rear seat belt. INTRANT will establish through regulations the specifications of these seats according to the age, weight, and size of the child, in accordance with the guidelines established in this regard by internationally accepted health standards. The violation of this provision will be sanctioned with a fine equivalent to one (1) to three (3) minimum wages of the one that prevails in the centralized public sector, and the reduction of points in the license determined by the regulations. The vehicle will not be able to start driving until the minors are in the places indicated by law."
14. Alcohol and Drug Policies
- Handicap Travelers DR reserves the right to deny the service to any person the driver understands is putting their own safety or the passengers' safety in danger.
- Handicap Travelers DR will deny the service to anyone who possesses illicit drugs at the time of service.
- Any passenger who displays either of the two behaviors mentioned above will not be offered the service or will be asked to leave the vehicle, the authorities will be informed of the inappropriate behavior, and no refunds for the service will be granted.
15. Subcontractor Policy
- Due to the large volume of services, sometimes we are forced to subcontract allied transport companies. As a result, those vehicles are not labeled with the Handicap Travelers DR name, nor will their drivers be identified with our uniform.
