SECTION 1 — NATURE OF SERVICE

This service provides organized transportation coordination between Genova and Serravalle Designer Outlet.

Passenger transport is executed exclusively by licensed NCC (Noleggio con Conducente) operators in compliance with Italian law.

The service provides round-trip transportation logistics only and is not a guided tour.

Passengers remain responsible for:

  • Managing their personal schedule
  •  Managing their shopping time
  •  Returning to the designated meeting point on time
  •  Monitoring their own travel or personal commitments

SECTION 2 — SERVICE CATEGORIES

The Serravalle Shopping Day operates under four booking structures:

  • Seat-Based Service: Shared Trip (Half Day) – Conditional activation model
  • Seat-Based Service: Group Trip (Block Booking) – Minimum group activation
  • Seat-Based Service: Weekend Trip (Full Day Tiered Pricing) – Capacity-based activation
  • Vehicle-Based Service: Exclusive | Private Trip – Flat-rate vehicle capacity model

Each service model operates independently and follows its own activation, payment, and operational rules.

Seat-based shared trips operate under a minimum fully paid passenger requirement.

Activation threshold:
• Minimum 15 fully paid passengers

Activation timeline:

If the activation threshold is not reached:

  • The trip does not activate
  •  Fully paid passengers may rebook to another available date
