Section C contains important information which may be relevant to your holiday.

These Booking Conditions, together with our privacy policy and where you make a booking via our website, our website terms and conditions of use, together with any other written information we brought to your attention before we confirmed your booking, form the basis of your contract with Contemporary Travel Solutions where we act an Organiser of a Package or where we enter into a contract with you for a flight without any other service. Please read them carefully as they set out our respective rights and obligations. In these Booking Conditions references to "you" and "your" include the first named person on the booking and all persons on whose behalf a booking is made or any other person to whom a booking is added or transferred. By making a booking, the first named person on the booking agrees on behalf of all persons detailed on the booking that:- 

a. He/she has read these terms and conditions and has the authority to and does agree to be bound by them; 

b. He/she consents to our use of information in accordance with our Privacy Policy; 

c. He/she is over 18 years of age and resident in the United Kingdom and where placing an order for services with age restrictions declares that he/she and all members of the party are of the appropriate age to purchase those services. 

1 Booking and Paying For Your Arrangements

A booking is made with us when a) you tell us that you would like to accept our written or verbal quotation; and b) you pay us a deposit or full payment (as applicable); and c) we issue you with a booking confirmation. If your confirmed arrangements include a flight, we will also issue you with an ATOL Certificate. We reserve the right to return your deposit and decline to issue a confirmation at our absolute discretion. A binding contract will come into existence between you and us as soon as we have issued you with your booking confirmation. 

Upon receipt, if you believe that any details on the confirmation, ATOL certificate (or any other document) are wrong you must advise us immediately as changes cannot be made later and it may harm your rights if we are not notified of any inaccuracies in any document within ten days of our sending it out (five days for tickets). If we do not receive any balance due in full and on time, we reserve the right to treat your booking as cancelled by you in which case the cancellation charges set out in clause 6 below will become payable. 

Any money paid to an authorised agent of ours in respect of a booking covered by our ATOL is held by that agent on behalf of and for the benefit of the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust at all times, but subject to the agent’s obligation to pay it to us for so long as we do not fail financially. If we do fail financially, any money held at that time by the agent or subsequently accepted from the consumer by the agent, is and continues to be held by that agent on behalf of and for the benefit of the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust without any obligation to pay that money to us. 

2 Accuracy

We endeavour to ensure that all the information and prices both on our website and in our brochures are accurate, however occasionally changes and errors occur and we reserve the right to correct prices and other details in such circumstances. You must check the current price and all other details relating to the arrangements that you wish to book before your booking is confirmed. 

3 Insurance

Adequate travel insurance is vital. If you choose to partake in arrangements without adequate insurance cover, we will not be liable for any losses howsoever arising, in respect of which insurance cover would otherwise have been available. 

4 Jurisdiction and applicable law

These booking conditions and any agreement to which they apply are governed in all respects by English law. We both agree that any dispute, claim or other matter which arises between us out of or in connection with your contract or booking will be dealt with by the Courts of England and Wales only. You may however, choose the law and jurisdiction of Scotland or Northern Ireland if you live in those places and if you wish to do so. 

5 Changes by you

If you wish to change any part of your confirmed arrangements, you must inform us in writing as soon as possible. This should be done by the first named person on the booking. Whilst we will do our best to assist, we cannot guarantee that the supplier will be able to meet your requested change as amendments can only be accepted in accordance with the terms and conditions of the supplier. The supplier may charge the amendment charges shown in their booking conditions (which may be as much as 100% of the cost of the arrangements and will normally increase closer to the date of departure). In addition you must pay us an administration fee of £35 per person per change. 

If you have booked a package, you can transfer your booking to another person, who satisfies all the conditions that apply to this booking, by giving us notice in writing at least 7 days before departure. Both you and the new traveller are responsible for paying all costs we incur in making the transfer. Please note that this right does not apply to Flight Only arrangements. 

Note: Certain arrangements may not be amended after they have been confirmed and any alteration could incur a cancellation charge of up to 100% of that part of the arrangements.

6 If You Cancel

If you or any other member of your party decides to cancel your confirmed booking you must notify us or your travel agent in writing. Your notice of cancellation will only take effect when it is received in writing by us at our offices and will be effective from the date on which we receive it. We recommend that you use recorded delivery. The cancellation charges imposed on us by our suppliers are usually restrictive. Whilst our deposits usually cover most of the costs we incur if you cancel, some of the arrangements we sell are non-refundable in the event of your cancellation. Once you inform your travel agent of your need to cancel they will advise you of the applicable cancellation charges. Cancellation charges can be as much as 100% of the total cost of the holiday, regardless of when you notify us of the cancellation and will normally increase closer to the date of departure. In addition you must pay us an administration fee of £35 per person per cancellation. If the reason for your cancellation is covered under the terms of your insurance policy, you may be able to reclaim these charges. 

7 Special Requests

Any special requests must be advised to us at the time of booking e.g. diet, room location, a particular facility at a hotel etc. You should then confirm your requests in writing. Whilst every effort will be made by us to try and arrange your reasonable special requests, we cannot guarantee that they will be fulfilled. The fact that a special request has been noted on your confirmation invoice or any other documentation or that it has been passed on to the supplier is not confirmation that the request will be met. Failure to meet any special request will not be a breach of contract on our part unless the request has been specifically confirmed. We do not accept bookings that are conditional upon any special request being met. 

8 Disabilities and Medical Problems

If you or any member of your party has any medical problem or disability which may affect your stay, please provide us with full details before we confirm your booking so that we can try to advise you as to the suitability of your chosen arrangements. Acting reasonably, if we are unable to properly accommodate the needs of the person(s) concerned, we will not confirm your booking or if you did not give us full details at the time of booking, we will cancel it and impose applicable cancellation charges when we become aware of these details. 

9 Your Financial Protection

All flights and flight-inclusive bookings on this Website are financially protected by the ATOL scheme. Our ATOL number is 11285When you buy an ATOL protected flight or flight-inclusive holiday from us you will receive an ATOL Certificate. This lists what is financially protected, where you can get information on what this means for you and who to contact if things go wrong. For further information, visit the ATOL website at http://www.caa.co.uk/. 

The price of our flight-inclusive arrangements includes the amount of £2.50 per person as part of the ATOL Protection Contribution (APC) we pay to the CAA. This charge is included in our advertised prices. 

Not all holiday or travel services offered and sold by us will be protected by the ATOL Scheme. ATOL protection extends primarily to Customers who book and pay in the United Kingdom. 

We, or the suppliers identified on your ATOL Certificate, will provide you with the services listed on the ATOL Certificate (or a suitable alternative). In some cases, where neither we nor the supplier are able to do so for reasons of insolvency, an alternative ATOL holder may provide you with the services you have bought or a suitable alternative (at no extra cost to you). You agree to accept that in those circumstances the alternative ATOL holder will perform those obligations and you agree to pay any money outstanding to be paid by you under your contract to that alternative ATOL holder. However, you also agree that in some cases it will not be possible to appoint an alternative ATOL holder, in which case you will be entitled to make a claim under the ATOL Scheme (or your credit card issuer where applicable). 

If we, or the suppliers identified on your ATOL certificate, are unable to provide the services listed (or a suitable alternative, through an alternative ATOL holder or otherwise) for reasons of insolvency, the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust may make a payment to (or confer a benefit on) you under the ATOL scheme. You agree that in return for such a payment or benefit you assign absolutely to those Trustees any claims which you have or may have arising out of or relating to the non-provision of the services, including any claim against us, the travel agent (or your credit card issuer where applicable). You also agree that any such claims may be re-assigned to another body, if that other body has paid sums you have claimed under the ATOL scheme. 

10 Passport, Visa and Immigration Requirements and Health Formalities

It is your responsibility to check and fulfil the passport, visa, health and immigration requirements applicable to your itinerary. We can only provide general information about this. You must check requirements for your own specific circumstances with the relevant Embassies and/or Consulates and your own doctor as applicable. Requirements do change and you must check the up to date position in good time before departure. 

Most countries now require passports to be valid for at least 6 months after your return date. If your passport is in its final year, you should check with the Embassy of the country you are visiting. For further information contact the Passport Office on 0870 5210410 or visit www.passport.gov.uk

Special conditions apply for travel to the USA, and all passengers must have individual machine readable passports. Please check.For European holidays you should obtain a completed and issued form EHIC prior to departure. Up to date travel advice can be obtained from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, 

https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice

Non British passport holders, including other EU nationals, should obtain up to date advice on passport and visa requirements from the Embassy, High Commission or Consulate of your destination or country(ies) through which you are travelling, 

We do not accept any responsibility if you cannot travel, or incur any other loss because you have not complied with any passport, visa, immigration requirements or health formalities. You agree to reimburse us in relation to any fines or other losses which we incur as a result of your failure to comply with any passport, visa, immigration requirements or health formalities. 

11 Pricing and monies paid

We reserve the right to amend the price of unsold flights and Packages at any time and correct errors in the prices of confirmed holidays.

We can only change your holiday price after you’ve booked in certain circumstances:

Changes in the price of the carriage of passengers resulting from changes to the cost of fuel or other power sources, the level of taxes or fees imposed by third parties including tourist taxes, landing taxes or embarkation or disembarkation fees at ports and airports, or exchange rates mean that the price of your travel arrangements may change after you have booked. However, there will be no change within 20 days of your departure. 

We will absorb, and you will not be charged for, any increase equivalent to 2% of the price of your travel arrangements, which excludes insurance premiums and any amendment charges. You will be charged for the amount over and above that. If this results in an increase equivalent to more than 8% of the price of your travel arrangements, you will have the option of accepting a change to another holiday if we are able to offer one (we will refund any price difference if the alternative is of a lower value), or cancelling and receiving a full refund of all monies paid, except for any amendment charges. Should you decide to cancel, you must do so within the time period shown on your final invoice.

Should the price of your holiday go down due to the cost changes mentioned above, then any refund due will be paid to you. We will deduct from this refund our administrative expenses incurred. Please note that travel arrangements are not always purchased in local currency and some apparent changes have no impact on the price of your travel due to contractual and other protections in place.

12 If We Change or Cancel

It is unlikely that we will have to make any changes to your arrangements, but occasionally, we may have to do so and we reserve the right to at any time. Most of these changes will be minor and we will advise you or your travel agent of them at the earliest possible date. We also reserve the right in any circumstances to cancel your flight or Package. However, we will not cancel your travel arrangements less than 60 days before your departure date, except for reasons of force majeure or failure by you to pay the final balance. 

”Examples of “major changes” include the following when made before departure; a change of accommodation area for the whole or a significant part of your time away, a change of accommodation to that of a lower standard or classification for the whole or a significant part of your time away, a change of outward departure time or overall length of your arrangements of twelve or more hours or a significant change to your itinerary, missing out one or more destination entirely. Examples of “minor changes” include the following when made before departure: any change in the advertised identity of the carrier(s), flight timings, and/or aircraft type; a change of outward departure time or overall length of your holiday of twelve hours or less, or a change of accommodation to another of the same standard or classification.

If we have to make a major change or cancel, we will tell you as soon as possible and if there is time to do so before departure, we will offer you the choice of i) (for major changes) accepting the changed arrangements ii) having a refund of all monies paid or iii) accepting an offer of alternative travel arrangements of comparable standard from us, if available (we will refund any price difference if the alternative is of a lower value). You must notify us of your choice within 7 days of our offer. If you fail to do so we will assume that you have chosen to accept the change or alternative arrangements. 

If we make a major change or cancel less than 60 days before departure, we will also pay you compensation if appropriate in all the circumstances. We will not pay you any compensation where we make a major change or cancel before the date on which the final balance of the cost of your arrangements is due or in the event that we are forced to make a change or cancel as a result of unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which we could not have avoided even with all due care. 

If you accept the major change of arrangements you will receive compensation as per option 1. If you reject the major change and cancel your booking you will receive compensation as per Option 2. The amounts in the table are by way of guideline only and may in appropriate circumstances be increased. 

The above sets out the maximum extent of our liability for changes and cancellations and we regret we cannot meet any expenses or losses you may incur as a result of change or cancellation. Please note: where accommodation with a higher price than the original accommodation is offered by us and accepted by you, the difference in price will be deducted from any compensation payable. In no case will we pay compensation if accommodation is offered by us and accepted by you with a higher price than that originally booked in the same location where no additional payment is made by you. 

We will not pay you compensation and the above options will not be available if we make a minor change or cancel as a result of your failure to make full payment on time or where the change(s) or cancellation by us arises out of alterations to the confirmed booking requested by you. 

Very rarely, we may be forced by "force majeure" to change or terminate your arrangements after departure. If this situation does occur, we regret we will be unable to make any refunds (unless we obtain any from our suppliers), pay you compensation or meet any costs or expenses you incur as a result. 

If we become unable to provide a significant proportion of the services that you have booked with us after you have departed, we will make alternative arrangements for you at no extra charge and, if appropriate in all the circumstances, will pay you reasonable compensation.

Furthermore, we shall be under no obligation whatsoever to pay compensation or meet any costs or expenses (including but not limited to alternative accommodation) you may occur as a result of your stay being terminated. If you cause damage to the accommodation in which you are staying, you must fully reimburse the accommodation provider concerned for the cost of the damage before the end of your stay if the cost has been established by then or as soon as it has been established if later. You must also indemnify us for the full amount of any claim (including all legal costs) made against us by the accommodation provider or any third party as a result.

Map/Distance Disclaimer: Please note that the information as to the distance from the city centre and the location of the hotel on the maps provided are for indicative purposes only. If a customer requires the hotel to be within a certain distance from the city centre or near a particular location, the customer should contact the hotel in question prior to booking. 

Unavailability: Where we are unable to confirm the initial requested accommodation, we will call you to inform you of the details of alternative accommodation or lack of availability. At that time you will have the option to accept the alternative accommodation or get a refund of the total monies paid to us by you for your original booking. 

Star Ratings: Star ratings are used to symbolise the overall quality, level of service, food standard and range of facilities available in any given hotel property. The criteria applied within each country will vary depending on the specific requirements established by the relevant issuing body and are provided to you for information purposes only. They are not a guarantee or warranty of any kind. 

Hotel Facilities: Please read the description of the hotel for other hotel policies applicable to your stay. You must be at least 21 years of age to check in to Las Vegas hotels. 

Please note that the hotels booked by us for you are not exclusive to us. We are not responsible for any limitation in facilities because of other hotel guests or their activities. We do not take responsibility for hotel content (including images, facility listings, etc.) displayed on our website. Hotels may change facilities and property features without prior notice to us and it is the customers' responsibility to confirm facilities directly with the hotel at the time of travel. 

Local Taxes: Please note that there may be taxes levied abroad which were not included in the hotel cost at the time of purchase that are payable in relation to your hotel booking e.g. local taxes, sales tax etc. Any local taxes will be payable by you directly to the hotel at the time of check in / checkout. 

Descriptions & Photographs: All pictures and descriptions are displayed in good faith. However in certain circumstances beyond our control accommodation descriptions may be affected, such as sea views, which may be obscured by greenery, such as trees. We try to maintain up to date information on any changes and therefore all details printed should be regarded for general information only. Accommodation categories and star ratings shown on the website are provided by the accommodation, however standards can vary between accommodations of the same class in different countries, it is therefore important that the accommodation details are read in full. 

Accommodation: All accommodation is reserved exclusively for use by the person named as the lead passenger plus the total number of passengers, whether adults or children, as shown on the Invoice / Accommodation Voucher. Unauthorised occupancy may result in the accommodation refusing occupation with immediate cancellation and loss of all monies paid. Most accommodation is sold on a twin/double room basis, however most properties have more twin rooms than doubles. If a double bed is requested please be aware that this may be two single beds pushed together. Additional beds for triple/quad rooms could either be a pull out sofa bed, foldable bed, rollaway beds, or bunk beds. Self-Catering properties usually do not offer a choice of bed type.

However please be aware that the accommodation has no liability to inform us of any building work in the surrounding area outside their property. 

Over Bookings: In the very unlikely event that on arrival the property cannot provide the accommodation booked, it is the responsibility of the property to find an alternative property of a similar standard.

Drivers must produce a full driving license written in the English Alphabet and held for at least two years. Any endorsements must be declared at time of booking, as in some cases, hire will not be possible with certain types of endorsements. No refunds will be given for rentals aborted due to non-production of any driving license or non- disclosed endorsements. Faxed or photocopied licenses are not acceptable. Non EU licence holders should check with the embassy of the particular country they are travelling to as some may require the driver to have an International Driving Permit or other special documentation. 

Cancellation Policy 

Cancellations must be made in writing to Airport Direct Travel Ltd. Cancellation charges may apply depending on the terms of your contract. However, no refunds will be given for cancellations made after the pick up time, no shows, partially used vouchers, failure to produce the pre paid voucher or for cancellations made directly with the car rental company. 

Flight Information 

For all rental reservations, it is imperative that the car hire provider is given the pick up and drop off times. If we are not provided with the correct flight information, no responsibility can be accepted or compensation allowed for a failed rental. 

Collection 

Collection of the rental vehicle is normally at the airport or the local suppliers office. 

Deposits & Petrol 

Most car hire companies require a deposit, which varies by destination, to cover the Insurance Excess, petrol in the car and other charges incurred during the hire such as speeding or parking fines. A valid major credit card must be used in most locations and must be in the name of the lead driver. Debit cards are NOT widely accepted. Cars are normally supplied with a full tank of fuel and must be returned full. However this depends on each individual supplier, the fact sheet and voucher will provide information relating to petrol charges for the specific hire. 

Drivers Age 

The minimum and maximum age for all hires is stated on the car hire voucher as this varies according to location and supplier. However, it may still be possible to rent a car if you fall outside of the required age. Please ask us for details. 

Additional Drivers 

Charges may apply for additional drivers in certain locations, payable locally. All additional drivers must produce their driving licence to the local supplier before they drive the vehicle otherwise the insurance will become invalid. 

Period of Hire/Daily Rate Calculation 

Hire periods are calculated on a 24 hour basis. After collection of the car, extensions of the hire period will be charged by the local car hire company at the local daily rate (which may be considerably higher). Please note that missed return deadlines will be charged locally. Please note that no refunds will be made for vehicles returned early. 

Personal Accident Insurance (PAI) 

This optional insurance may be covered by your own holiday insurance. Please check this before you travel. If PAI is required, it can be taken out locally on collection of the hire car for an additional fee. 

Special Requests 

Child seats: these are mandatory in most countries and must be requested at the time of booking. However, we cannot guarantee their availability and recommend that you take your own. Ski racks, snow tyres, snow chains and Sat Nav are available in many locations at an extra charge payable locally but must be requested in the UK. The availability of all Special Request items cannot be guaranteed by the car hire provider in advance and no responsibility can be accepted by the car hire provider  for unavailable items on arrival or indeed any aspect of any special request items that are payable locally. 

Local Charges 

The costs and conditions of all incidental items such as the special requests and extra drivers are subject to local tax. 

Not included in the cost of the hire 

Petrol, personal accident insurance, special request items and where applicable young driver surcharges and additional driver charges. All costs payable locally. Please note that there are some insurance exclusions. 

Vehicle Type / Suitability 

The car hire provider cannot guarantee a particular model or make of vehicle. The vehicle on the car hire voucher is for guidance only and we reserve the right to substitute it with another similar vehicle. If for any reason whatsoever, you are not happy with the condition of your vehicle, you must inform the local car hire company immediately and the car hire provider in writing within 28 days of your return. The car hire provider cannot accept any liability where this procedure is not followed. 

Mechanical difficulties/Accidents 

In the event of any mechanical difficulties or accident involving your rental vehicle, it is imperative that details are reported to the local car hire company straight away. You should also notify the local police in the case of accidents and a signed police report obtained. You should also obtain full details of any third parties involved. Authority to repair or replace a vehicle must be obtained from the local car hire company supplying your vehicle and whose name and address appears on the voucher and rental agreement. You should retain copies of all rental documentation in the event that an insurance company becomes involved. Compensation cannot be considered when this procedure is not followed correctly. 

If you are dissatisfied in any way with the standard of the vehicle upon collection or during the rental, you must report this to the car hire company immediately. It is difficult to assess any issue raised made regarding the standard of your rental on completion of hire. 

Provision of Vehicles 

Please be aware car hire suppliers can refuse to provide a vehicle to any customer who is, in their opinion, unfit to drive or does not meet eligibility requirements. In such cases, the contract with us becomes void and we will have no further liability. 

Driving Restrictions 

Restrictions may be applicable when crossing country or state borders. Please advise our reservations department at the time of booking if you plan to drive out of the country of vehicle collection. Charges may sometimes apply for additional insurance and if so these are payable locally, but please check for further information with our reservations department. Cars are NOT allowed to be driven off road or on un-tarmacked surfaces. This applies to all car types including 4x4's. The insurance will become invalid. 

Insurance Excess and Exclusions 

With all our car rental partners, you will be required to leave a deposit when collecting your vehicle, to cover the Collision Damage Waiver excess and any exclusions on the insurance such as damage to tyres, windscreen and windows, wing mirrors, undercarriage, clutch, roof, interior, any damage to the locks and any towing charges or loss of keys.

If the vehicle is damaged during your hire, this amount is retained by the local car hire company to cover the cost of repair. If, however, you have opted to take out the Tyre and Glass Waiver (DEW) or Super Damage Excess Waiver (SDEW), then this may be reclaimable as per the instructions below. 

Tyre and Glass Waiver (DEW) and Super Damage Excess Waiver (SDEW) 

DEW covers damage to the tyres, rear windows, windscreen, wing mirrors and passenger windows. Providing the vehicle is used in accordance with the terms and conditions of the rental agreement, this additional cover will allow you to claim back the cost of any damage to these items from Your Car Hire. This does not waive the requirement of the insurance excess deposit, required by credit card in the lead driver’s name at the start of the hire, the amount of which will be authorised and held aside for the duration of the hire. 

SDEW (Super Damage Excess Waiver) covers damage to the vehicle in the event of an accident, and providing the vehicle is used in accordance with the terms and conditions of the rental agreement, will enable you to claim back the insurance excess from Your Car Hire on your return. The SDEW also covers damage to the tyres, windows, windscreen, rear window, wing mirrors and passenger windows. This does not waive the requirement of the insurance excess deposit, required by credit card in the lead driver’s name at the start of the hire, the amount of which will be authorised and held aside for the duration of the hire. 

To reclaim the Insurance Excess in the case of an accident where the DEW or SDEW is included then you must send us the following items; 

1. Your Car Hire Reference number 

2. Rental Agreement 

3. Damage Invoice 

4. Supplier Accident Report (You must report all accidents/damage to the local supplier) 

5. Police Report (if a third party is involved the accident must be reported to the police) 

6. Credit Card statement showing the transaction. 

The excess will not be reimbursed in the following cases; 

. If the accident/damage is not reported to the local supplier immediately. 

· If an accident involving a third party is not reported to the police and a police report obtained 

· damage incurred due to failure to comply with the rental conditions 

· damage incurred due to driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication. 

· loss of or damage to the car keys 

· private objects that are stolen from the vehicle or damaged 

· subsequent costs such as towing costs, hotel accommodation, phone costs etc 

• DEW/SDEW is not applicable where the vehicle has been driven with undue care and attention, on un-tarmacked roads, negligently or if the driver has been under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The cost of the excess will not be waived in any of the above circumstances and you may be liable for the full amount. 

• DEW/SDEW does not cover the loss or damage of car keys and where replacements have to be found, and any costs directly involved with the theft of a vehicle. 

• DEW/SDEW does not cover vehicles taken off road. 

• If paid for locally, DEW/SDEW can cost up to EUR30.00 per day. The contents of the car are sometimes covered under your own travel insurance. Please check this before travelling. 

Additional Conditions Applicable in the USA Canada and Australia 

As we utilise a number of different suppliers in the USA, Canada and Australia, please call our reservations centre who will be happy to go through any special conditions applicable to the supplier that your booking has been made with.

General Conditions 

All bookings are confirmed when full payment is received and are subject to the car hire provider's terms and conditions. No other terms, conditions and warranties, expressed or implied by law, custom and course of dealing shall form part of any contract between the car hire provider and clients (in this case you the customer) except for those terms implied by law whose application is mandatory. 

The client acknowledges that in making a booking with Your Car Hire it does so only on the basis of the material contained in the car hire invoice/voucher. All other statements or representations made by the car hire provider, its employees, or agents are of no effect unless confirmed by us to the client in writing. 

The car hire provider acts as a broker for the hire companies and a contract will be taken with the car hire company supplying the car. Clients will then be subject to the terms and conditions of that contract and the laws of the country where the rental has taken place. 

The car hire provider accepts no responsibility for and shall not be liable in respect of any loss, damage, alterations, delays or changes arising from, for example, civil strife, industrial dispute, including air traffic control disputes, terrorist activity, natural and nuclear disaster, fire or adverse weather conditions, unavoidable technical problems with transport, closure or congestion of airports or ports, cancellation of scheduled airlines and financial failure of airlines. 

The car hire provider reserves the right to levy any government increase in tax or change in law, which results in additional cost after the confirmation in the reservation. 

The car hire provider liability to the client for any loss, damage, injury or accident what so ever, whether arising out of negligence, breach of contract, or any other cause shall not exceed twice the invoiced price of rental of the vehicle concerned provided that nothing in this clause shall limit the car hire provider's liability for death or personal injury caused by its negligence. 

The car hire provider will not be held responsible for anyone driving under the influence of alcohol/drugs, causing wilful damage, off road driving or driving without due care and attention. The client will indemnify the car hire provider against this in respect of such claims. 

The client is responsible for all parking and driving violations. 

Number of passengers 

All vehicles booked through the car hire provider are insured for a maximum number of people. The car hire provider cannot accept responsibility where a vehicle is not big enough to fit all passengers and luggage on arrival if full details were not given at the time of booking. In the interest of safety, this number must not be exceeded and the insurance on the vehicle will be invalidated. 

IMPORTANT NOTICE! 

In case of theft, accident, or damage to the vehicle, whatever the extent of damage, driver must give a written statement to the supplier, otherwise he is considered totally responsible for the damage. 

TRANSFERS

Infants and children: All infants (0-2yrs) and children (3-11yrs) must be included in the booking to ensure the appropriate vehicle and space is provided. Both local and national laws regarding the use of child seats vary from country and country, however all suppliers will comply with the latest legislation. If you are booking a private transfer, it is recommended to use booster seats for those under the age of 12, or up to 135cm, for safety purposes. These will need to be confirmed at the time of your booking and any charges will be advised to you. It is not possible to use seats on a shuttle service and therefore these may not be suitable for your needs. If you wish to bring your own child or booster seat and are taking a private transfer, we must be advised of this information before travel. It will be your responsibility to fit the seat in the vehicle, and not the responsibility of the supplier. 

Locating your arrival/departure transfer: Instructions for finding your transport will be included on your transfer voucher. It is essential that the voucher is carried on the trip taken. We cannot be held responsible for any failed transfers resulting from you not having the voucher available during your trip. Local suppliers/representatives should be contacted, if they are unable to be located. The contact number will be featured on the transfer voucher. 

Departure transfers: For your return journey, it is important to check the instructions on the booking voucher thoroughly to be certain of the requirements concerning your transfer. You should arrive at your departure airport 2.5 hours before departure to allow plenty of time for check-in procedures. Please consider this when making your booking. If you are taking a shared shuttle transfer, the pick-up time may change may change from that shown on the voucher. This is due to shuttles having multiple pick up destinations. It is absolutely vital that you call the supplier within office hours at least 24 hours prior to departure, in order to be given an accurate pick-up time. The supplier reserves the right to alter pick-up times according to local needs. 

Luggage: The allowance per person, for all vehicle types, is one standard size suitcase (approximately 70cm, high, 47cm wide and 21cm deep), as well as one small piece of hand luggage. Hand luggage is transported in the same vehicles as the passenger; therefore it should be an appropriate size. If you intend to travel with excess luggage, such as large suitcases, golf clubs, wheelchairs, skis, pushchairs etc., must advise this at the time of booking as extra charges may apply. Failure to advise of this may result in additional charges being paid or the refusal to transport. 

Gratuities: The transfer prices paid do not include gratuities. These are at your discretion. 

Drop offs and pick-ups at your accommodation: Private transfers: Whilst the supplier endeavours to operate a door to door service, there are some occasions where it may not be possible, such as road closures. Where these restrictions apply, drivers will drop and collect you from the nearest accessible point. Please bear in mind, however, that the supplier will not be responsible for transporting luggage. Shared shuttle transfers: Whilst the supplier endeavours to operate a door to door service, there are some occasions where it may not be possible, such as road closures. Where these restrictions apply, drivers will drop and collect you from the nearest accessible point. Please bear in mind, however, that the supplier will not be responsible for transporting luggage. Please note that such transfers do not operate to private addresses, villas or timeshare apartments. However suppliers can drop passengers at a hotel close by, and in this case, please state this as your destination at the time of booking. 

Waiting times for shared shuttle transfers: The supplier will try to keep waiting times to a minimum. Any complaints received regarding a waiting time of less than one hour will not be able to be considered. 

EXCURSIONS AND ATTRACTION TICKETS

Languages: In some cases, excursions may be conducted in a foreign language but an English interpretation will always be available. 

Cancellation: Please note that the cancellation of any excursion or attraction by the supplier does not constitute a major change to your travel arrangements. 

Vouchers & Passes: Please note that you may be given exchange documents rather than entry passes prior to your arrival at your excursion or attraction. These will require exchange at the excursion/attraction venue. 

Loss of vouchers: Please note that no refunds are given for lost excursion/attraction tickets once issued. 

AIRPORT HOTELS & AIRPORT HOTELS-WITH –PARKING BOOKINGS 

Arriving Early: If you park your car before the arrival date/time printed on your voucher, you may have to pay the car park locally for any additional parking time at their published rate.

Park and Ride transfers: Transfers to and from the airport are included in the price, unless stated otherwise, or the car park is within walking distance of the airport terminal. If you have made a reservation for London Heathrow Airport please check your booking carefully as transfers may be at extra cost. Please make sure you have the transfer schedule for your car park and that the times of operation suit your requirements. 

Meet and Greet parking: If you have booked this service, (where you are met at the terminal by a driver who takes your car away to secured storage for you, and your car is brought to the terminal for you on your return), you may need to reconfirm your booking direct with the parking operator prior to your date of travel, giving your Booking Reference. Please check your booking confirmation for details. Supplements may be charged for service outside normal hours and on all public and bank holidays payable directly to the parking operator. 

Minimum stays: Minimum stays and charges apply at some car parks. Should you wish to stay for fewer days, you may, but the cost of the minimum duration is payable. This is made clear during the booking process. Daily Prices may vary according to the date and length of stay. Stays of fewer than 8 days may attract a higher daily rate. 

Car Keys: In the interests of efficient operation you must be prepared to leave your car keys with car park staff if requested to do so. 

Insurance: All parking is subject to the terms and conditions of the individual car park and these are available separately on request from the car park operator. Ensure no valuables are left in the vehicle, as your supplier will not accept liability. Parking is always at the vehicle owner's risk. 

High-sided or unusually wide vehicles: Not all car parks can accommodate such vehicles and those that can may charge more than the standard advertised price. Please check with us before booking. 

FLIGHTS

The carrier(s), flight timings and types of aircraft shown in our advertising material and detailed on your confirmation invoice are for guidance only and are subject to alteration and confirmation. We shall inform you of the identity of the actual carrier(s) as soon as we become aware of it. The latest flight timings will be shown on your booking confirmation or any further travel documents which are required for travel. You should check all of the communications which we send you carefully, immediately upon receipt to ensure you have the correct flight times and booking details. If flight times change after your reservation has been confirmed, we will contact you as soon as we can to let you know. 

Note the existence of a “Community list” (available for inspection at http://europa.eu.int/comm/transport/air/safety/flywell_en.htm. Detailing air carriers that are subject to an operating ban within the EU community. 

Under EU Law, you have rights in some circumstances to refunds and/or compensation from the airline in cases of denied boarding, cancellation or delay to flights. Full details of these rights will be publicised at EU airports and will also be available from airlines. If the airline does not comply with these rules you should complain to the Civil Aviation Authority at www.caa.co.uk/passengers. Reimbursement in such cases is the responsibility of the airline and will not automatically entitle you to a refund of your holiday price from us. If, for any reason, you do not claim against the airline and make a claim for compensation from us, you must, at the time of payment of any compensation to you, make a complete assignment to us of the rights you have against the airline in relation to the claim that gives rise to that compensation payment. A delay or cancellation to your flight does not automatically entitle you to cancel any other arrangements even where those arrangements have been made in conjunction with your flight. 

Advanced Passenger Information.

A number of Governments are introducing new requirements for air carriers to provide personal information about all travellers on their aircraft to the Authorities before the aircraft leaves the UK. The data will be collected either at the airport when you check in or in some circumstances when, or after you make your booking. Accordingly, you are advised to allow extra time to check in for your flight. It is your responsibility to submit Advanced Passenger Information prior to travel and failure to do so could result in additional fees being incurred at check-in or being refused boarding. Where we collect this data, we will treat it in accordance with our privacy policy. 

Air carrier liability notice for passengers and their baggage.

NB. The information notice below is required to be given by European Community Regulation (EC) No. 889/2002. This notice cannot be used as a basis for a claim for compensation, nor to interpret the provisions of the Regulation or the Montreal Convention. It does not form part of the contract between the carrier(s) and you. No representation is made by the carrier(s) as to the accuracy of the contents of this notice. 

Please note however that the notice is inaccurate. It states that for damages up to 113,100 SDRs the air carrier cannot contest claims for compensation. However, the Regulation and the Montreal Convention state that for damages up to 113,100 SDRs in respect of death or bodily injury caused by an accident on board the aircraft or during embarking or disembarking, the carrier cannot exclude or limit its liability except where there is contributory negligence. Also the limit of the air carrier's liability for baggage delays, destruction, loss or damage to baggage is 1,131 SDRs in total and not, for example, 1,131 SDRs in respect of delay and 1,131 SDRs in respect of damage where both have occurred to the same baggage. The statement that if the name or code of an air carrier is indicated on the ticket, that carrier is the contracting carrier, does not apply in all cases. 

Compensation in the case of death or injury

There are no financial limits to the liability for passenger injury or death. For damages up to 113,100 SDRs (approx. 110,000 Euros) the air carrier cannot contest claims for compensation. Above that amount, the air carrier can defend itself against a claim by proving that it was not negligent or otherwise at fault. 

Advance payments

If a passenger is killed or injured, the air carrier must make an advance payment to cover immediate economic needs within 15 days from the identification of the person entitled to compensation. In the event of death, this advance payment shall not be less than 16,000 SDRs (approx. 15,500 Euros). 

Passenger Delays

In case of passenger delays, the air carrier is liable for damage unless it took all reasonable measures to avoid the damage or it was impossible to take such measures. The liability for passenger delay is limited to 4,694 SDRs (approx. 4,600 Euros). 

Baggage Delays

In case of baggage delay, the air carrier is liable for damage unless it took all reasonable measures to avoid the damage or it was impossible to take such measures. The liability for baggage delay is limited to 1,131 SDRs (approx. 1,100 Euros). 

Destruction, loss or damage to baggage

The air carrier is liable for destruction, loss or damage to baggage up to 1,131 SDRs (approx. 1,100 Euros). In the case of checked baggage, it is liable even if not at fault, unless the baggage was defective. In the case of unchecked baggage, the carrier is liable only if at fault. 

Higher limits for Baggage

A passenger can benefit from a higher liability limit by making a special declaration at the latest at check in and by paying a supplementary fee. 

Complaints on Baggage

If the baggage is damaged, delayed, lost or destroyed, the passenger must write and complain to the air carrier as soon as possible. In the case of damage to checked baggage, the passenger must write and complain within seven days and in the case of delay within 21 days, in both cases from the date on which the baggage was placed at the passenger's disposal. 

Liability of contracting and actual carriers

If the air carrier actually performing the flight is not the same as the contracting air carrier, the passenger has the right to address a complaint or make a claim for damages against either. If the name or code of an air carrier is indicated on the ticket, that air carrier is the contracting air carrier. 

Time limit for action

Any action in court to claim damages must be brought within two years from the date of arrival of the aircraft, or from the date on which the aircraft ought to have arrived.
