Cancellation & Refund Policy

Last updated: April 19, 2026

At IMPERA we understand that plans can change. This policy establishes the timeframes and percentages applicable to cancellations, as well as the process to request them.

Quick summary:

  • Cancel more than 24h = 100% refund
  • Cancel between 3 and 24h = 50% refund
  • Cancel with less than 3h = no refund
  • Force majeure cases = free rescheduling

1. Timeframes and refund percentages

Refunds are calculated on the total amount paid, applying the following table:

Time before service Refund Example ($1,120)
More than 24 hours 100% refund MXN $1,120
Between 3 and 24 hours 50% refund MXN $560
Less than 3 hours No refund MXN $0
No-show No refund MXN $0

* The timeframe counts from the moment IMPERA receives the cancellation request (via WhatsApp or email), not from the message send time.

2. What is considered No-Show?

At airports

No-Show is when the passenger does not appear and does not establish communication with IMPERA within 45 minutes after the agreed pickup time (or after flight landing for Pick Up with flight number provided).

During those 45 minutes, the chauffeur will remain at the agreed location and make at least 2 contact attempts. It is the passenger's responsibility to keep their phone accessible.

At other locations (hotels, offices, restaurants, etc.)

No-Show is when the passenger does not appear and does not contact IMPERA within 15 minutes after the agreed time.

It is NOT considered No-Show if:

  • Passenger notifies IMPERA of their delay before the timeframe expires (45 or 15 min)
  • A force majeure situation arises (see point 3)
  • The delay is caused by the chauffeur or IMPERA

3. Force majeure

In verifiable cases of force majeure, IMPERA offers free rescheduling within 90 days from the original service date, instead of monetary refund.

Cases considered force majeure:

  • Flight cancellation by the airline (screenshot or airline notification required)
  • Flight delay exceeding 6 hours (with documentation)
  • Documented medical emergency (medical certificate, emergency voucher)
  • Death in immediate family (death certificate)
  • Natural disasters or weather events preventing travel
  • Government actions (border closures, quarantines)

How to request rescheduling for force majeure:

  1. Notify IMPERA as soon as possible via WhatsApp or email
  2. Provide the Reservation ID
  3. Send documentation proving the event (image, screenshot or document)
  4. Indicate tentative new date (to be confirmed based on availability)

IMPERA will evaluate each case and confirm rescheduling within 24 business hours. In cases where the original service is not equivalent to the new one (e.g., more expensive route), rate adjustment to the current price may apply.

4. Cancellation process

To cancel a reservation, the User must:

  1. Contact IMPERA through one of the following means:
  2. Provide:
    • Reservation ID (IMP-XXXXXXXX format)
    • Name of titleholder
    • Reason for cancellation
  3. Will receive cancellation confirmation within 2 business hours.
  4. Refund (if applicable) is processed through Stripe in 5 to 10 business days, depending on the card issuing bank.

Important: Refund reflection time on your statement depends on the issuing bank, not on IMPERA. Stripe processes the refund immediately, but it may take up to 10 business days to show on your statement.

5. Cancellation by IMPERA

In exceptional cases where IMPERA must cancel a service (mechanical failure with no alternative, security situation, etc.), the User will receive:

  • 100% refund of the amount paid
  • 20% credit of the reservation value for future use within 90 days (compensation)
  • Immediate notification via WhatsApp and email

IMPERA will do everything possible to assign an alternative vehicle before canceling.

6. Reservation modifications

Modifications (change of date, time, origin, destination or vehicle) are free if requested with more than 24 hours notice, subject to availability.

Modifications between 3 and 24 hours before service may apply an administrative charge of MXN $200.

No modifications accepted with less than 3 hours notice.

If the change implies a higher rate, the User must cover the difference. If it implies a lower rate, no partial refund is made.

7. Frequently asked questions

Can I transfer my reservation to someone else?

Yes, as long as you notify IMPERA with at least 3 hours notice providing the full name of the new passenger. No additional charge applies.

What if I cancel my card after booking?

The refund will go back to the originally used card, even if canceled. In that case, the issuing bank will credit it to your main account or send it by another means.

Do refunds include Stripe's commission?

Yes. IMPERA absorbs Stripe's commission on full and partial refunds. The User receives the exact amount paid (or 50% in case of late cancellation).

What if my flight is delayed?

If you provided your flight number at booking, IMPERA automatically monitors your arrival and adjusts the chauffeur's time. The 45-minute wait counts from the actual landing time.

If you did not provide a flight number and your delay exceeds 45 minutes, it will be considered No-Show. Contact us as soon as possible to avoid this.
