Terms & Conditions
The rules and agreements that govern your use of the Fivestar Minicab app and services.
1. Scope
These terms govern access to the Fivestar Minicab website, passenger app, driver app and related booking or delivery features. Separate driver, fleet, business or promotional terms may also apply.
2. Platform Role
Fivestar Minicab provides technology that enables users to request services from eligible transport or delivery providers. The precise contracting model is confirmed and described consistently with the operator's licensing structure in each area.
3. Eligibility and Accounts
Users must provide accurate details, keep accounts secure and meet any minimum-age or legal-capacity requirement. You are responsible for activity conducted through your account unless caused by our breach.
4. Bookings
A booking request is not accepted until confirmed through the app. Availability, estimated arrival times and vehicle categories are not guaranteed.
5. Fares and Payments
The app will show the pricing basis before confirmation where practicable. Final charges may include time, distance, waiting, tolls, airport charges, cleaning, damage, cancellation or other clearly disclosed amounts.
6. Cancellations and No-Shows
Cancellations are governed by the Booking and Cancellation Policy. Fees may apply after a driver accepts, begins travelling or waits at the pickup point.
7. User Conduct
Users must comply with the law, these terms and the User Guidelines. Unsafe, abusive, discriminatory, fraudulent or illegal behaviour is prohibited.
8. Accessibility
We aim to support accessible travel and comply with applicable equality duties. Users should select available accessibility options or contact support where assistance is required.
9. Lost Property
Drivers and Fivestar Minicab will take reasonable steps to facilitate return, but neither guarantees recovery. Reasonable return costs may be payable where permitted.

Promotions may have eligibility, time, location, account and usage restrictions. They have no cash value unless stated and may be withdrawn where misuse is suspected.

We may restrict or close accounts to protect users, investigate concerns, comply with law or enforce these terms. Where appropriate, we will explain the reason and available review process.
