It is the customer’s responsibility to allow sufficient time for travel, as MAT PRESTIGE cannot be held responsible for delays due to difficult traffic conditions, such as traffic congestion, accidents, roadworks or any other external factor.

When booking a trip from an airport, we strongly advise you to take into account the time needed to get off the plane and collect your luggage, in order to set the right departure time for your trip.

Payment for the trip is made at the time of booking, and the trip will only be considered confirmed once payment has been validated.
