Luxe World Travel Terms of Service
- General
Luxe World Travel LLC. (Luxury World Travel) enables its Users to book travel services over its online platform, through the association with other online platforms, as well as through the applications for mobile devices . The service of Maryland Black Car is made up by the arrangement of an entitlement to carriage for a User by Luxe World Travel itself or over a transportation service provider (“TSP”) as an intermediate.
These Terms of Service (hereinafter referred to as “Terms”) are part of every agreement between Users with the arrangement of a travel service by Maryland Black Car. They also describe in detail the travel services which are offered through the direct entitlement created by Luxe World Travel between the User and the TSP.
Deviations from the User Terms, even in the case of letters of confirmation and unreserved services, are hereby rejected. Only if the management of Luxe World Travel has expressly agreed in writing, does this not apply.
- Contractual Relationship and Conclusion of Contract
2.1 Contractual Relationship
Luxe World Travel provides the travel services presented by Luxe World Travel LLC. . Luxe World Travel arranges for the User an entitlement to carriage by Luxe World Travel itself or over a TSP independent of Luxe World Travel.
Luxe World Travel makes the necessary arrangements with Luxe World Travel or the TSP in its own name, which provides the User with an entitlement to carriage over the TSP (“Third-Party Beneficiary”, also called “Contract of Carriage for the Benefit of the User”).
The User uses Luxe World Travel as a transport service or as an intermediate or an arranger.
2.2 Conclusion
By submitting a completed booking form via the Luxe World Travel website or by telephone (“Ride Request” of the User) to Luxe World Travel the User makes an offer for the conclusion of transport service or an arrangement agreement. The object of this agreement is the arrangement of the travel service to meet the User’s Ride Request.
Luxe World Travel next sends the User an email confirming the receipt of the ride details for the travel service. Through this, Luxe World Travel confirms only the receipt of the User’s Ride Request.
The arrangement agreement between Luxe World Travel and the User for the requested travel service comes into effect only through a separate statement (“Booking Confirmation/Accepted”) by Luxe World Travel Car per email.
2.3 Authorization
By submitting a ride request, you authorize Luxe World Travel to charge your provided payment method for use of services. You confirm that you are the cardholder and/or authorized user of the provided credit card. For certain ride requests, the completion of a Credit Card Authorization Form may be required. You are liable for the cost of services and fees, which are detailed in email confirmations to you and in the Terms of Service. You will accrue fees and are subject to legal action for any unpaid costs for which you are liable.
- User Registration Requirements for the Use of Luxe World Travel website.
It is the User’s responsibility to ensure that all information that they, or someone else on their behalf, have provided to Luxe World Travel is complete and accurate. Registration using automated methods is prohibited.
- Selected Topics of the Contract of Carriage for the Benefit of the User
Under Paragraph 4 described details of the User’s Ride Request (collectively, “Travel Arrangements”), the User can only make demands to Luxe World Travel or its TSP, if they are agreed upon in the arrangement agreement with Luxe World Travel.
The following conditions apply to the Luxe World Travel-arranged entitlement to carriage of the User:
4.1 Transfer Rides / Hourly Bookings, Changes to Service
The User can choose between transfer rides and hourly bookings for their Ride Request. If, according to the express wishes of the User, or the User’s representative, the actual Ride Request requires additional effort compared to the original Ride Request, Luxe World Travel will carry this out where possible. The extra effort may result in additional costs for the individual arrangement (for more details see Paragraph 5 below).
Changes in Travel Arrangements are subject to the availability of Luxe World Travel and can be made by the User, or the User’s representative, even after conclusion of the contract in accordance with Paragraph 5 and the payments described therein.
Rates quoted before service are only an initial estimate of the cost of services reserved. Wait time and/or additional services may change the final price.
4.1.1
In the case of transfer services (one-way, return, round-trip), the price quoted is valid for a start and destination address. An additional fee, according to the current price structure (see Paragraph 5 below), accrues per stopover on the direct route.
A stopover does not exceed 15 minutes. If the stop exceeds 15 minutes, the User will be charged the transfer base rate plus the hourly rate for the vehicle in 15-minute increments for the time that the chauffeur waits. If there is more than one stop, or if the one stop lasts more than 30 minutes, then the trip will convert to an hourly rate.
Return or round-trip services do not occur within the same day, unless approval is granted by Luxe World Travel and additional fees may apply. Otherwise, return or round-trip Ride Requests will be rejected/cancelled and payment will be reimbursed.
4.1.2
For hourly bookings, the trip must always end in the municipal area of the pickup location (within 20 miles). Hourly bookings that end outside of the municipal area of the pickup location are subject to Luxe World Travel approval and additional fees.
An hourly booking always starts at the pickup time confirmed upon booking.
4.2 Vehicle Class / Vehicle Model, Upgrade
The User can choose from different vehicle classes (e.g., “Business Class Sedan”, “SUV”, or “First Class Sedan”) for their Ride Request.
The vehicle images shown in the Luxe World Travel website are only illustrative examples. These are not connected with any right to a particular vehicle model for the booked vehicle category.
Subject to availability, an upgrade from the vehicle class “Business Class” to a higher vehicle class (such as “SUV” or “First Class”), at no additional cost to the User, may be possible.
4.3 Transport Safety, Consequences
4.3.1 Luggage, Animals
The price given in the Booking Confirmation includes the number of pieces of luggage specified on the booking form. Excess luggage, bulky luggage, or the transportation of animals not stated as an additional comment upon booking could lead to corresponding surcharges; the arrangement fee will also be higher, as stated in the Booking Confirmation (see Paragraph 5 below).
Luxe World Travel reserves the right to refuse the carriage of luggage and/or animals which was/were not agreed to. This also applies to animals which are not contained in a closed and suitable transport box.
Any hearing-impaired person, totally or partially blind person or physically disabled person riding in any Maryland Black Car vehicle is permitted to be accompanied by a service animal, without being required to pay an extra charge for the service animal. For passengers with disabilities traveling with a service animal, the animal does not require being transported in a kennel or soft-sided pet container.
In the event damage occurs to the vehicle, caused by the animal, damage and/or cleaning fee may be charged.
4.3.2 Carriage of Children
The need for safety seats for children should be requested by the User as an additional comment by specifying the number and age of children to be transported as well as the required type of seating.
4.3.3 Information on Number of Guests and Pieces of Luggage
The maximum number of guests and pieces of luggage specified for a particular vehicle is an estimate based on factors such as size and weight of guest and luggage. These are therefore not binding. Luxe World Travel or its TSP can refuse the carriage of guests or luggage if they believe they compromise the space and safety conditions.
Chauffeurs assist Users, or passengers, with loading into or removing luggage from vehicles from curbside locations. Standard luggage assistance includes door-to-door service (e.g., residence door to vehicle door). Additional fees apply for luggage assistance from within the airport and/or within residential areas (e.g., multi-unit residence lobby, multi-unit residence hallway, carrying luggage up/down stairs). Chauffeurs cannot enter Users’, or passengers’, residences (e.g., inside apartments or homes) to retrieve luggage. Additional fees may also apply for excessive and/or bulky luggage.
4.3.4 Prevention of Carriage
Luxe World Travel or its TSP reserves the right to refuse carriage if compelling (for example, under applicable laws) requirements under Paragraph 4.3 were not at all, or not correctly, communicated by the User as an additional comment.
If, due to this, carriage is not possible, this has no influence on the payment of Luxe World Travel through the arrangement agreement with the User for the transportation booked.
4.4 Delays
Exceptional situations such as air-traffic controller strikes, extreme weather conditions, etc., can be compensated only to a limited extent, meaning that longer waiting periods or last-minute cancellations must be accepted by Users.
4.5 Cancellations, Changes to Booking, and No-Shows
4.5.1 Cancellation
(a) Transfer Services
For transfer services, the cancellation rate is 20% if there is more than 24 hours left before the agreed pickup time. If there is 24 hours or less before the agreed pickup time, the total price must be paid unless other payment arrangements are approved by Luxe World Travel in writing. A cancellation can only be done by contacting Luxe World Travel at (240) 805-3452.
Luxe World Travel reserves the right to cancel Ride Requests in the event we are unable to accommodate requested reservations (e.g., no availability, requested services that we do not provide).
Luxe World Travel reserves the right to cancel Ride Requests in the event Users or their representatives exhibit offensive and/or discriminatory behavior.
The timing of reimbursements is subject to the processing time of third-party payment processors.
(b) Hourly Bookings
For hourly bookings, the cancellation rate is 20% if there are more than 24 hours left before the agreed pickup time. If there are 24 hours or less before the agreed pickup time, the total price must be paid unless other payment arrangements are approved by Maryland Black Car in writing. A cancellation can only be done by contacting Maryland Black Car at (240) 805-3452.
Ride Requests for special events (e.g., wedding, prom, funeral) and for stretch limousines are accommodated on an hourly basis only, with a minimum of two consecutive hours for non-specialty vehicles (sedan, SUV) and four consecutive hours for specialty vehicles (sprinter van, stretch limousine, opulent) otherwise approved by Maryland Black Car.

Luxe World Travel reserves the right to cancel Ride Requests in the event Users or their representatives exhibit offensive and/or discriminatory behavior.
The timing of reimbursements is subject to the processing time of third-party payment processors.
4.5.2 Changes to Booking
Changes to bookings are generally treated as new bookings. The policy for dealing with cancellations (see Paragraph 4.5.1 above) therefore apply to the ride originally agreed upon. A compensation claim by Luxe World Travel for the originally agreed ride may be made accordingly.
4.5.3 No-Shows without cancellation, Delay to the User
In case of a no-show without cancellation, the User loses their entitlement to carriage by Luxe World Travel or its TSP; however, this does not affect the compensation claim of Luxe World Travel towards the User.
(a) Transfer Services
A ride is considered a no-show if the User, or passenger, has not shown up without cancellation within 15 minutes after the agreed pickup time at the agreed pickup location. If a customer does not show up, the ride must be paid for in full, whereas possible surcharges for waiting time do not apply.
For airport or train station (only long-distance train stations) pickups, the ride is considered a no-show when the User, or passenger, has not shown up without cancellation within 60 minutes after the agreed pickup time at the agreed pickup location, at which flight and train delays or earlier flights and trains lead to a deferral of the scheduled pickup time by the planned period of time between the planned arrival time and the original pickup time. If a customer does not show up, the ride must be paid for in full, whereas possible surcharges for waiting time do not apply.
From this rule, situations are excluded in which Luxe World Travel and the guest have agreed on a later pickup time by phone or email, which Luxe World Travel will confirm in writing. Possible surcharges for waiting time have to be remunerated as described under Paragraph 5.3.1. Generally, the passenger is not entitled to change the pickup time.
(b) Hourly Bookings
A ride is considered a no-show if the User, or passenger, has not shown up without cancellation after the expiration of the hours booked after the agreed pickup time at the agreed pickup location. If a customer does not show up, the ride must be paid for in full.
For airport or train station (only long-distance train stations) pickups, the ride is considered a no-show when the User, or passenger, has not shown up without cancellation after the expiration of the hours booked after the agreed pickup time at the agreed pickup location, at which flight and train delays or earlier flights and trains lead to a deferral of the scheduled pickup time by the planned period of time between the planned arrival time and the original pickup time. If a customer does not show up, the ride must be paid for in full.
From this rule, situations are excluded in which Luxe World Travel and the guest have agreed on a later pickup time by phone or email, which Luxe World Travel will confirm in writing. An hourly booking always starts at the pickup time confirmed upon booking as described under Paragraph 4.1.2. In consequence, possible extensions of the hourly booking have to be remunerated as described under Paragraph 5.2. Generally, the passenger is not entitled to change the pickup time.
4.6. Behavior in the Vehicle
The following behavioral standards apply to the User when traveling with Luxe World Travel or its TSP:
During the entirety of the ride, all guests must follow the regulations which apply to the relevant Road Traffic Act, especially the seatbelt regulations. Any instructions given by Luxe World Travel or its TSP must be followed. It is the responsibility of Luxe World Travel or its TSP to ensure a safe ride. It is therefore prohibited for guests to open the doors while driving, throw any objects from the vehicle, and/or stick body parts out of or shout from the vehicle. If the User wishes to use any of the devices or facilities in the vehicle, a brief instruction is required from Luxe World Travel or its TSP.
Smoking is prohibited in the passenger part of the vehicle. If the User, or passenger, ignores this, they are liable to pay not only the cost for the cleaning of the vehicle but also compensate the loss of business due to the downtime of the vehicle.
The consumption of food is discouraged. Alcoholic drinks are only allowed to be consumed in the car with prior consent. Any messes from food or beverages, including vomit or urine, the User and/or passengers are liable to pay not only the cost for the cleaning of the vehicle but also compensate the loss of business due to the downtime of the vehicle.
Any destruction or damage, whether maliciously or unintentional, to the vehicle, the User and/or passengers are liable to pay not only the cost for the cleaning and/or repair and/or replacement of the vehicle but also compensate the loss of business due to the downtime of the vehicle.
Luxe World Travel reserves the right to stop service in the event Users or their representatives exhibit offensive and/or discriminatory behavior. In this case, the ride must be paid for in full, unless other payment agreements are agreed to by Luxe World Travel.
- Compensation and Payment
5.1 Principles
The compensation claim of Luxe World Travel is specified in the Booking Confirmation.
Key factors for its amount (including reimbursement of expenses to Luxe World Travel for the arranged transportation service) are: the chosen vehicle class, the distance, how far in advance the ride is booked, pickup time, and pickup location.
Additionally booked special requests, (e.g., additional stops, excessive and/or bulky luggage, car seats for children, etc.) may cause the price to increase.
5.2 Ride Changes
Even after the conclusion of the arrangement agreement and even after the start of the ride, provided it is possible for Luxe World Travel or its TSP, the User (or User’s representative) may request changes to the Travel Arrangements, subject to Luxe World Travel approval and additional fees.
If a ride is spontaneously lengthened (distance or number of hours) according to the wish of the User, or passenger, the actual service (total distance or number of hours) will be newly calculated and priced according to the current price structure. In the case of hourly bookings, each additional 15-minute block is considered for invoicing, from the first additional minute, 15 minutes will be rounded up to ensure more reliable planning.
Accordingly, the compensation claim increases for the User, due to Luxe World Travel's expenses for the Contract of Carriage for the Benefit of the User increasing.
If the distance or number of hours are less than originally booked, the price remains unaffected.
5.3 Other Premiums
5.3.1 Waiting Times for Transfer Services
For transfer services, no surcharges are applied in the case of airport or train station (excluding long-distance train stations) for a waiting time of up to 60 minutes after the agreed pickup time, at which flight and train delays or earlier flights and trains lead to a deferral of the scheduled pickup time by the planned period of time between the planned arrival time and the original pickup time, and up to 15 minutes from the agreed pickup time in all other cases. Each additional minute of waiting time will be calculated in 15-minute increments according to the hourly booking prices of the vehicle category.
5.3.2 Additional Mileage for Hourly Bookings
Hourly bookings contain the mileages (per hour) that are stated on the booking form (or by phone). Any additional mileage is subject to surcharge and are calculated according to the price per mile of the vehicle category.
5.4 Terms of Payment and Transaction Fees
The User can pay for their ride by credit card. Incidental credit card charges are carried by Luxe World Travel. Any transaction fees when making payments via bank transfer (e.g., due to different currencies or different local accounts) are carried by the User.
5.5 Payment Reminders, Unpaid Credit Card Invoices
For each payment reminder, Luxe World Travel may charge an appropriate penalty fine.
For unpaid credit card debts, Luxe World Travel charges the User for the incurred expenses (bank, credit card company) and reserves the right to assert an appropriate handling fee per incident.
5.6 Sending of Invoices, Payment Dates
Luxe World Travel provides the User with the respective invoice electronically via the website and email. When paying by credit card, payment is due immediately. When paying by bank transfer, the payment date referred to in the invoice must be kept.
5.7 Coupon Codes
Coupon codes are only redeemable individually and cannot be combined with other coupon codes. Coupon codes are not redeemable for cash. Coupon codes may expire without prior notice to the User.
