Yes, of course! We love children at BOBdriving! Your driver will carry on with him a suitable child-seat to ensure a safe trip. We kindly ask our guests to tell the age of the children that will travel with them so we’ll be able to specify the correct child-seat or booster to the driver. On the other hand, the customer is aware that the children must sit in the child-seat provided during the whole trip: this is mandatory for understandable safety and legal reasons.
Your driver can pick you up at your hotel, apartment, cruise ship dock or any other pick-up point accessible by car. This applies to your drop-off location as well. No need to worry about buses, cabs or other connections . BOBdriving provides door-to-door service! If you happen to be in a pedestrian-only area, your driver will meet you at a designated pick-up location. Your driver will meet you at the agreed time and place and won’t contact you before unless necessary.

Yes, we are happy to accommodate your animal! Please let us know in advance if you will be travelling with pets, including service and emotional support animals so we can ensure there will be enough space for you, your pet and your luggage in the vehicle. If you don’t inform us in advance, we can’t guarantee that your driver will be able to accommodate you or offer any refund.
We strive to make your trip as comfortable as possible and the air you breathe in the car is an important part of this. All drivers are required to keep their cars smoke-free and generally as scent-neutral as possible. Which means no smoke, no dust, and no air fresheners.
The easiest and more comfortable way to pay in advance by credit card or bank transfer. You may also pay in cash in all major currencies at the end of your trip. Be aware anyway that in some countries, cash payment is not allowed. Most of our drivers are carrying a Bank terminal: then it will be possible to pay with a credit card inside the car, but you must be aware that the use of such a terminal is subjected to a correct mobile connection at the drop-off place and you could be asked to find an ATM if it’s not working. The currency reference is Euro and your bank may use a different exchange rate than the official one. In case of a cash payment in another currency than Euro, the driver will charge you his bank exchange costs in top of the official rate as defined in the Service terms and conditions. (Chap.D.§2.2)
If you need to cancel or reschedule your trip for any reason, simply call or send us an email. We understand that travel plans can change, which is why we don’t charge a fee for changes or cancellations made at least 48 hours before departure and very low administrative costs if it is made before 24 hours. You will find more information in our Service terms and conditions.(Chap.C.§4)
We and our partners accept all major currencies used worldwide. Euro is the currency reference but we are also happy to accept Swiss franc (CHF), US dollar, Canadian dollar, British pound and Australian dollar. Anyway, using another currency than Euro implies bank exchange costs on top of the official rate as defined in the Service terms and conditions. (Chap.D.§2.2) These are the only costs that will be charged: we’ll never apply any extra costs or fees than those charged by our bank company.
The quoted price is final and there are no additional fees for our services. It means that our prices include the car disposal, the trip (including eventual motorway tolls), restroom stops and lunch stops (meal excluded) as described in the Service terms and conditions. (Chap.C.§3) Gratuity is excluded from the total price and is not a requirement. However, if you’re extremely satisfied with the service, you may reward your driver with an optional tip (10% is a good base). There will be no surprises or additional fees from BOBdriving.
We send a confirmation email immediately after you place your order and an email with your driver’s details a few days before your trip. If you did not receive any email from us, it’s possible there is a typo with your email address or that they are going to your spam folder. Check this please. Not receiving any emails does NOT mean your trip is cancelled! To update your contact information, please contact us.
