– During the payment process, you may be offered the opportunity to ‘save’ your card for easier future use. This optional facility is offered by Stripe, who will retain your card details securely on behalf of Scotland Travel Solutions Ltd, typically until the card expires. Scotland Travel Solutions may instruct Stripe to delete these saved details prior to the card expiry if your account with us is deemed inactive.
– Note that you will still need to provide some security details when using a saved card. You may delete saved cards at any time from your online account area or by contacting us.
16. Customer-Initiated Transactions (CIT)
– CIT performed on our public website are initialized with the ability to be ‘repeated,’ subject to relevant security checks. This could be for a different amount to the original payment.
– For example, if you request a ‘Meet & Greet’ service be added to your journey after your booking is placed, with your permission, we may acquire the additional fee for this service from the original payment method without needing to re-take card details. You will always have the opportunity to choose an alternate payment option.
– Full or partial refunds can also be applied to the original payment method to cover fare reductions or cancellations; however, please note that fees may apply for cancellations, depending on the circumstances (see ‘Cancellations’ in our ‘Policies’ section).
17. Vehicle Damage
– All passengers are responsible for any cost incurred to return a vehicle to working order (repairs or professional cleans) where the damage to the vehicle by passengers exceeds reasonable wear and tear.
