Fatigue & Driver Welfare Policy (GC Airport Transfers)

GC Airport Transfers protects brand integrity and safety by avoiding driver overload and planning back-to-back trips only where the previous drop-off and next pickup are the same or close proximity (where possible).

Fatigue rules (company standard)

No driver is to exceed 10 hours in a given day.
After a 10-hour day, a minimum 8 hours break is required before the first job of the next period.
If concurrent 10-hour days occur, a driver week must not exceed 5 days per week.
After a 10-hour day, it is recommended to take a minimum of 2 x 30-minute breaks during that period.

Late-notice booking control

If a same-day (late notice) booking request is sent, the driver must provide a screenshot of driving time for that day (rideshare app).
Taxi drivers should keep dispatch on to record driving time where applicable.

Break rule for longer trips

After completion of each job, the driver must notify GC Airport Transfers.
If a job exceeds 2 hours and another GC Airport Transfers job is allocated, the driver must take a 30-minute break on request by GC Airport Transfers.

Verification: GC Airport Transfers may request weekly driving time screenshots (rideshare app or taxi dispatch record) to verify compliance. Drivers who exceed daily/weekly limits may lose eligibility for future bookings.

Customer Standards & Complaints

Customer service standards must be followed at all times to maintain consistent brand integrity and service quality. If a driver is late for pickup or a complaint occurs, follow the process below.

Pickup & service standards

On pickup, vacate the vehicle, assist with luggage and doors, then load luggage into the boot.
In rain, use an umbrella to protect both the client and their luggage.
Kerbside pickups: use left front/rear doors for entry/exit unless unsafe; only use roadside door where safe and controlled by driver.
Do not move vehicle until all seatbelts are fastened (100% compliance).
Greet professionally (time of day + client name). Keep greeting short and professional.
Confirm cabin temperature and music level at commencement.
If water is not in seat holders, offer water at commencement (where available).
With destination set in Waze/Google Maps, advise estimated trip duration and any expected en-route challenges.

If running late

If you will be late, SMS or call the client en route with your ETA.
If the scheduled arrival time will exceed 30 minutes, notify GC Airport Transfers immediately (alternate driver may be required).

If a customer complains directly to you

Clarify the complaint with the client first.
If it can be fixed immediately, rectify it.
