Member Obligations – Rider or Driver
Account Creation and Access
By registering on the Prime Time Shuttle platform, a Member obtains a Prime Time Shuttle Username and password for personal use. The Member agrees to keep the password confidential. Only registered Members can use the Prime Time Shuttle platform, using their personal Prime Time Shuttle Username and password.
Member agrees to only create and use the one account originally assigned, either under his or her own identity or that of a third party. Any exception of this rule can only be made following a written request for permission from the Member to Prime Time Shuttle. Creating or using new accounts under the Member’s own identity or that of a third party, without prior written authorization from Prime Time Shuttle, will lead to immediate suspension of the Member’s accounts and all associated services without notice. Member agrees to not grant access to his or her Prime Time Shuttle account to any other person. If a member has knowledge that another person has access to his or her account, he or she will inform Prime Time Shuttle immediately and confirm the information by mail.
Member is SOLELY responsible for the use of the Prime Time Shuttle platform in accordance with the terms and conditions. Member agrees to not engage in behavior directly or indirectly contrary to good morals, laws and regulations, in the present or in the future. Member agrees to immediately notify Prime Time Shuttle when he or she identifies such behavior. Prime Time Shuttle reserves the right to inform the competent authorities about any conduct contrary to good morals, laws and regulations in the present or in the future.
In case of a dispute, the parties agree that records from Prime Time Shuttle servers, including access codes of registered members, shall be used by the parties to resolve the dispute.
In the event that a driver reports to Prime Time Shuttle that a passenger has in any manner materially damaged the driver’s vehicle or other property following a ride to which you were a party, Prime Time Shuttle may, in its sole discretion, charge you, and you agree to pay, a Damage Fee of $100 or $250 depending on the extent of the damage (as determined by Prime Time Shuttle in its sole discretion), which shall constitute full payment for driver’s cost of repairing or cleaning the vehicle, or otherwise remediating the damage. The Damage Fee shall be transferred to driver. Prime Time Shuttle reserves the right, but not the obligation, to verify or otherwise require documentation of damages prior to processing the Damage Fee.
As long as Drivers are in compliance with this Agreement (including but not limited to the Driver Representations and Warranties provided below), Prime Time Shuttle procures insurance that provides Drivers with excess automobile liability insurance up to $1,000,000 per occurrence. The policy offers excess liability protection over a Driver’s existing mandatory insurance while such Driver is transporting a rider on a trip arranged on the Prime Time Shuttle Platform. The policy coverage is limited to liability only and does not provide coverage for collision, comprehensive or wear and tear damage to a Driver’s vehicle.
We do not procure insurance for, nor are we responsible for, personal belongings left in the car. These include tapes, records, discs or other similar audio, visual or data electronic devices, or any speed measuring equipment within the vehicle. It is the responsibility of the Driver and Rider to ensure they remove any personal belongings from the car before and after each ride matched on the Prime Time Shuttle Platform.
As with any personal auto insurance policy, additional insurance terms, limitations, and exclusions apply.
THIS IS AN UNOFFICIAL SUMMARY OF PRIME TIME SHUTTLE’S MASTER INSURANCE POLICY AND MAY NOT ALWAYS BE UP-TO-DATE. NONE OF THE STATEMENTS IN THIS SECTION SHOULD BE INTERPRETED AS BINDING AND ARE PROVIDED FOR QUICK REFERENCE ONLY.
Riders pay a fixed administrative fee to Prime Time Shuttle, when a trip is arranged. This is for Prime Time Shuttle to be able to operate the website and apps. The commission is automatically added to the contribution amount shared by the Rider with the Driver.
An escrow account is made available to the Driver by Prime Time Shuttle. When a Rider makes a reservation, the money paid by the Rider is held by Prime Time Shuttle until it is released to the Driver after the trip. To transfer funds into his or her bank account, the Driver places a transfer request.
Riders agree that if Rider cancels a ride request on the Prime Time Shuttle Platform less than 2 hours before ride pickup time, or fail to show up for your ride in a timely manner, Rider agrees to pay a “Cancellation Fee” as provided by Prime Time Shuttle’ Cancellation Policy.
We understand that circumstances may arise which may change your travel plans. Please keep in mind that there is a credit card processing fee charged to us for all transactions whether or not the reservation gets canceled.
Please avoid canceling reservations less than 6 hours before the pickup time. Our driver partners have committed to servicing your reservation and have arranged their day to provide you with great on-time service.
