Chase Playbus doesn't like to be too strict when it comes to rules, however, being the responsible party organiser that we are, for both of our sakes, some simple rules are necessary and have to be followed.

When you book a party or event with us you are agreeing to the following terms and conditions.

By receiving the deposit payment from you, the hirer for our vehicle, it is accepted that you have read and agreed to the following terms and conditions. Once we, the service provider of Chase Playbus, have received your deposit and secured the agreed day and time slot, we are both in a contractual agreement, which is bound by English law. Any variations on the terms and conditions can only be permitted if expressed in writing by us.

When you decide to book with us, a minimum of £50 deposit will be required to hold the agreed date and time slot. We will then require the remaining payment, in full cleared funds, at the latest 7 days prior to your event. If full payment is not received by this time then Chase Playbus reserve the right to offer your date and time slot to another customer. Your deposit will not be refunded. Any cancellation request must be received at least 14 days before the agreed booking date.

Any refunds returned to you the hirer will exclude the £50 deposit. In the event of any cancellation, whatever the cause, Chase Playbus is only liable for the hire costs of the bus and will not be held responsible for any other costs.

Chase Playbus accepts payment by Bank Transfer or Cash. Contact us and ask for details.

Chase Playbus is a full size double decker that weighs around 12 tonnes. It is 14.6 ft tall and 33ft long with a width of 8ft. Consider this when booking, you must think about access, parking and any height restrictions. if we are coming to you. The average private drive hasn't been designed for a double decker so be sure to consider if the bus will be suitable for your chosen destination. We cannot be held responsible for damage to your drive  or the land its parked on due to the weight of the vehicle. The Play Bus needs firm level ground to park on with safe access for the children to enter and exit the vehicle. Allow for 5 car spaces for us to park. Keep an eye out for any low overhanging trees or cables. We recommend to have an alternative parking space available. Chase Playbus will not park in any unsafe location.

If you are unsure please contact us for advice. We may be able to do a visit prior to the event.

If we are unable to gain access to your chosen location and an alternative cannot be found due to circumstances we were not informed of prior to arrival, then a refund will not be available. We may, however, in some circumstances be able to offer an alternative date and time.

Any parking permits that are required for your chosen destination must be organised prior to our arrival. Chase Playbus will not be responsible for any parking fines received at your chosen location and any such fines received will be the responsibility of you the hirer. Chase Playbus cannot park in any location that causes an obstruction.

Some of the entertainment features on the vehicle require a separate 240V power source in order to function. We therefore ask you for the use of a 240V power socket at your chosen location. We will supply the necessary extension leads. If power is not available at your chosen location we can supply a generator. You must tell us in advance if this is needed, an additional charge will apply. The bus is still very good entertainment for children without power however some of the features will not work. If we arrive at your chosen location and you have not told us the generator was required no refund will be offered in regard to loss of features on the vehicle.

The last thing we want is to disappoint a child or let down a valued customer, we have the vehicle serviced and maintained to a very high standard. However, just like your vehicle at home sometimes they can break down. If this happens we will try and get the mechanical problem resolved as soon as possible and endeavour to still get to you on your chosen day. If this is not possible we will arrange another mutually agreeable date and time or offer a full refund.

Chase Playbus can get to you in most weather conditions however there may be occasions when due to extreme poor weather and for safety reasons it may not be possible to arrive at your chosen location. Should this be the case we will inform you at our earliest convenience and an alternative mutually agreeable date will be offered to you. or we will give a refund.

 We cannot accept any responsibility for a delay in reaching your chosen location due to road works, traffic chaos or any other highway hazard which is beyond our reasonable control. We will endeavour to keep you informed if this happens. We will always make up for the lost time and will leave later so that you have the agreed time for your event.
