Terms & Conditions

Our Policies

How we operate, what you can expect from us, and how we handle your goods, data, and any issues that arise.

01 — Service Terms

General Service Terms

By booking any service with Fastlane Logistics, you agree to the terms and conditions outlined on this page. These terms apply to all courier, logistics, and passenger transport services provided by Fastlane Logistics in Cape Town and surrounding areas.

Fastlane Logistics reserves the right to refuse any booking at its sole discretion, including bookings that involve prohibited items, unsafe collection or delivery locations, or requests that fall outside our service area and capabilities.

All services are rendered on a best-effort basis. While we commit to meeting agreed collection and delivery windows, Fastlane Logistics shall not be held liable for delays caused by traffic, adverse weather, road closures, or other circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

Our commitment: We operate with reliability, communication, and professionalism as our core values. If anything goes wrong, we'll be upfront about it and work to resolve it as quickly as possible.

02 — Bookings

Bookings & Confirmations

All bookings are accepted via WhatsApp, phone call, or email. A booking is only confirmed once Fastlane Logistics has acknowledged and accepted the request in writing or via WhatsApp message.

When placing a booking, please provide the following:

  • Full collection address including access instructions if applicable
  • Full delivery address and recipient contact details
  • Description of goods or number of passengers
  • Preferred collection time or window

03 — Deliveries

Delivery Policy

Fastlane Logistics offers same-day and economy delivery options across Cape Town and surrounding areas. The applicable service level is agreed upon at the time of booking.

Same-Day Deliveries — Goods are collected and delivered within the same business day, subject to collection cut-off times. Same-day service is not guaranteed during peak periods, public holidays, or extreme weather. We will advise you at the time of booking if same-day delivery is not possible.

Economy Deliveries — Completed within 1–3 business days depending on destination and our collection schedule. Economy deliveries are a cost-effective option where speed is not critical.

A delivery is considered complete once the goods have been handed to the recipient at the delivery address, or to a designated representative at that location. Fastlane Logistics will not be responsible for goods left unattended at a delivery address unless specifically agreed to in writing prior to delivery.

Delivery windows: We provide estimated delivery windows, not guaranteed timed slots unless a specific time has been agreed upon at an additional charge. We will keep you updated throughout the delivery process.

Failed deliveries due to no one being available at the delivery address, an incorrect address supplied by the sender, or a recipient refusing the delivery may incur a re-delivery fee.

04 — POD

Proof of Delivery

Fastlane Logistics provides Proof of Delivery (POD) on every completed delivery job. POD is our commitment to transparency and accountability on every run we make.

Our POD process includes:

  • Collection confirmation once goods are picked up
  • Delivery status updates during transit where applicable
  • Signed or confirmed Proof of Delivery upon successful completion
  • Recipient confirmation including the name of the person who received the goods
  • End-of-day delivery summaries for business clients on request

POD records are retained for a period of 30 days and can be provided to the sender on request. For business clients with scheduled delivery runs, consolidated POD reports can be arranged.

05 — Liability

Loss & Damage Policy

Fastlane Logistics takes every reasonable precaution to ensure all goods are handled safely and transported securely. In the unlikely event of loss or damage during transit, we will investigate the matter immediately and handle it professionally.

To help us serve you better and protect your goods, please note the following:

  • Clients are encouraged to declare the value of high-value or fragile items prior to collection
  • Goods must be adequately packaged and sealed before collection — we are not responsible for damage resulting from poor or insufficient packaging
  • Perishable, fragile, or particularly valuable items should be identified at the time of booking so that appropriate care can be arranged

Liability limit: Fastlane Logistics' liability for loss or damage is limited to the declared value of the goods, subject to investigation and our terms. Where no value has been declared, liability is limited at our discretion.

Fastlane Logistics shall not be held liable for loss or damage arising from:

  • Inadequate or improper packaging by the sender
  • Incorrect, incomplete, or illegible delivery information supplied by the sender
  • Circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to accidents, acts of crime, severe weather, or civil disturbance
  • Goods left unattended at a delivery address at the sender's request
  • The inherent nature of the goods (e.g. perishables, fragile items not declared)

All claims for loss or damage must be submitted to Fastlane Logistics in writing within 48 hours of the delivery date. Claims submitted after this period may not be considered.

06 — Prohibited

Prohibited Items

Fastlane Logistics will not knowingly transport prohibited, illegal, or dangerous goods. The following items are not accepted under any circumstances:

  • Illegal substances or controlled drugs
  • Firearms, ammunition, and weapons (unless applicable licences and legal approvals are in place and pre-disclosed)
  • Explosive or flammable materials
  • Hazardous chemicals or biohazardous materials
  • Stolen goods or counterfeit products
  • Live animals (unless prior arrangement has been made and all requirements are met)
  • Any item prohibited by South African law

By booking a delivery with Fastlane Logistics, you confirm that the goods you are sending do not fall into any prohibited category. Fastlane Logistics reserves the right to refuse or abandon a delivery at any point if prohibited goods are discovered, and may report the matter to the relevant authorities.

07 — Transport

Passenger Transport Policy

Fastlane Logistics provides professional passenger transport services including airport transfers, corporate transport, staff shuttles, and event transportation across Cape Town.

The following conditions apply to all passenger transport bookings:

  • Passenger transport bookings must include the full pickup address, destination, date, time, and number of passengers
  • Passengers are required to be ready and available at the agreed pickup time — waiting time beyond 10 minutes may incur additional charges
  • The number of passengers must not exceed the vehicle's legal seating capacity
  • Passengers are responsible for their personal belongings — Fastlane Logistics accepts no liability for items left in vehicles
  • Smoking, consumption of alcohol, and any behaviour that endangers the driver or other passengers is strictly prohibited

For airport transfers, clients are advised to confirm their booking and share their flight details in advance. Fastlane Logistics will monitor flight arrival times where possible to accommodate minor delays, but this cannot be guaranteed for all bookings.

Airport pickups: Please ensure your flight number is provided at the time of booking. Fastlane Logistics is not responsible for additional costs arising from flight delays, cancellations, or changes to travel plans that were not communicated in advance.

08 — Cancellations

Changes to a confirmed booking (address, time, or number of stops) are subject to availability and may affect pricing. Please contact us as soon as possible via WhatsApp or phone to request any changes.

Fastlane Logistics reserves the right to cancel a booking at short notice in the event of vehicle breakdown, driver unavailability, or circumstances beyond our control. In such cases, we will notify you immediately and where possible arrange an alternative solution or issue a full refund.
