water rat Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Does anyone offer a baggage transfer service to the next stop for randonneurs?We wondered about doing this ,but were concerned about the insurance aspect and the responsibility once the baggage is dropped off. We decided to offer a pick-up drop-off service to the GR track which is about 4 kms from us after a couple ordered a taxi to us then picked them up the next morning. Our free service is proving quite popular so we sounded out the walkers about baggage transfer. It appears it already exists in more touristy areas of france so I thought I'd try here.W Rat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerise Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 We're on the GR here too and I do this. My car is already insured for occasional professional use (I sometimes pick folk up from the airport if they don't want to hire a car) and I make it clear to walkers that baggage transfer is at their risk. The other chambres d 'hôtes along the route do the same and I always drop off at the same places, where I know the other owners. If you are using your car make sure it is insured as I thought I was (I had asked) and when I checked the conditions discovered I wasn't. When I went to see the insurers they said 'Oh well you could always say they were your friends' !!!! Too laid back for me - I like it done properly - now properly covered but just a warning to check.

Yvonne Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Hi,We transfer bags for clients. As its only luggage we don't have any extra insurance on the car and we tend to incorporate it into a trip t the shops etc anyway. Abi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
