We are updating our Terms and Conditions (T&Cs) taking effect from 1 August 2022.

As the provider of the transport services from 1 August 2022 our T&Cs changes as follows:

  • Passengers will now contract directly with LondonWheelsMinicabs (rather than drivers) for the provision of the transport services.
  • Passengers will now pay  LondonWheelsMinicabs directly for journeys taken via our platform.
  • Invoices for trips will be issued to you from LondonWheelsMinicabs (rather than on behalf of drivers).

These changes will not affect how you use our platform.

Bookings can be made through our website or by telephone; these media by which you are able to make a Booking are an invitation to treat. Your Booking constitutes an offer to Contract for Services which we can accept (thereby creating a legally binding Contract incorporating, these Terms) for Account Customers and Credit and Debit Card Services by issuing to you a Booking Acceptance or otherwise and for Cash Customers, by the driver accepting allocation of your booking and proceeding to the pick up location requested by You.

3.2 Each party acknowledges that it is not relying on any statements, warranties or representations given or made by the other whether actual or implied by common law or under statute in relation to the subject matter of any Contract and that it shall have no rights or remedies with respect to such subject matter otherwise than under the relevant Contract.
