Passenger transport agreement defines the service provided by a carrier, the passenger's obligations and the consequences of delay, cancellation, injury or baggage loss. Contract structure should match the transport mode and route because liability rules can differ between domestic and international carriage.
Parties and Route
Agreement should identify the carrier, whether a legal entity or FOP (Individual Entrepreneur), and the passenger or relevant passenger category for regular services. Route information should include departure, destination and intermediate stops where applicable.
Fare and Payment
Tariffs, ticketing and available payment methods should be understandable before travel. Regular services may incorporate these terms through published rules or schedules.
Carrier Obligations
provide a technically serviceable and safe vehicle;
follow the agreed schedule and carriage conditions;
provide the stated level of passenger service;
inform passengers about relevant delays, route changes or timetable changes.
Passenger Obligations
comply with carriage and baggage rules;
hold the required ticket or travel document;
follow safety requirements and lawful instructions of crew or staff.
Carrier Liability
Source material identifies potential responsibility for delays, cancellations, passenger injury and lost or damaged baggage. The applicable compensation framework depends on the type of transport, national law and, for certain international carriage, relevant conventions.
Force Majeure and Termination
Agreement should identify circumstances in which the service may be terminated or the carrier's responsibility may be limited, including exceptional events such as natural disasters, military action or decisions of public authorities where applicable.
Drafting Priorities
check consistency with national and applicable international rules;
state liability and compensation mechanics clearly;
describe obligations of both carrier and passenger in sufficient detail;
align ticketing, baggage and cancellation procedures with actual operations.
Passenger carriage contract strategy should make the route, fare, service standard and liability process clear before the journey begins. Predictable operating terms help the carrier manage claims while giving passengers understandable rights when transport is delayed, cancelled or disrupted.
