Child Restraints
As Marquee Limousines is classified as a pre-booked service, there is an expectation under the law that
there is sufficient notice for a child restraint to be fitted, unlike the nature of taxi services.
Therefore, all children under the age of 8 years must be seated in a Baby Capsule, Baby Seat or Booster
Seat as determined by Australian Law. While some states may not have child seats as a mandatory
requirement, we as a company have a National Position that any child under 8 years must be in a child
seat at all times while travelling with us.
There is a standard $20 relocation and fitting fee for baby capsules, baby seats and booster seats per
booking – not per seat.
Whilst all care will be taken by chauffeurs to install child restraints safely, parents/caregivers are
strongly encouraged to check these prior to the start of the journey and amending as and where required.
Chauffeurs have training in installing child restraints, however, they are not professional fitters, and
the parent/caregiver of the child should be maintaining their child’s safety in the same they would in
their own vehicle.
Limits Of Liability & Insurance
Maximum liability, if accepted, will be limited to a refund for the trip in question. All care will be taken, but no liability will be assumed. No claim for liquidated damages, consequential loss for any other costs will be assumed.
