It pays to book early
It’s always wise to book early to be sure of getting your preferred date and time of travel. Also low fares can be snapped up quickly and prices tend to increase closer to the travel date.

Your first venture abroadWhere to start?
Where will your adventure take you?
If you’ve been touring around the UK for many years or you’ve just started, it can be an exciting time planning your first adventure overseas, also a little daunting knowing where to start. You may be going in search of warmer weather and to experience something new and you`ll find a different way of life.
Your choice of destination will of course depend on the time you have, what time of year you wish to go and what you’d like to do. Many locations are perfect for hiking or cycling or try white water rafting in Austria, swimming in the beautiful Italian lakes or simply explore the local culture.
Ways to get there
Driving on and off a ferry can be daunting at first but if you drive slowly, particularly over the ramp, and follow the guidance from the port staff it is relatively straightforward with no reversing required. LeShuttle allocates high vehicles in their single deck carriages which have much wider entrances to make it easier to manoeuvre.
The choice of crossing is often determined by the distance from port to the European destination, the cost and whether you are travelling with a pet.
Shorter crossings from Dover are often the cheapest option but good deals on Newhaven-Dieppe or Harwich-Hook of Holland can mean that these routes are comparable in price.
If you want to travel to Spain or Portugal there is the option of a ferry from Portsmouth or Plymouth to Spain. These sailings cost more than the shorter sea crossings to France however, by the time you factor in fuel, accommodation en route and road tolls it could be a good option. Also these overnight ferries all
have comfortable cabins where you can rest and arrive fresh for the rest of your journey.
If your pet is going on holiday with you, it’s possible to book pet-friendly cabins on the longer ferry routes although they are very popular and sell out quickly. On the shorter sea crossings pets usually stay in the vehicle, however there are kennel options on some of the routes and P&O Dover ships have pet lounges where you can relax with your pet. If you have an anxious pet then LeShuttle may be a good option as you all stay in the vehicle together.
Let us organise it for you

Finding your ideal campsite
Our campsites vary in size but often have more facilities than in the UK. The bigger sites offer entertainment and lots of facilities for the whole family while smaller sites can offer a quieter break. Many sites have bars, restaurants or takeaways with a basic menu, while others may have a small shop to get some essential provisions. Note that some onsite facilities may be closed or open less frequently in low season. It’s also important to remember that lunch times can be longer than in the UK. Check-in times vary but are usually from 15:00 so if you turn up earlier than that you may be waiting around for reception to open. As sites can be down single track roads or for those that don’t have a waiting area or car park, it’s advisable not to arrive early. Shops in the towns and villages can also close for a few hours in the afternoons so time your food shopping around this.
With a range of accommodation on most overseas sites you may be pitched beside lodges, cabins or seasonal residents. More campsites are also playing their part to be more environmentally friendly and better for wildlife which means some areas have a more natural look with grass, hedging etc being left to grow longer than you might expect. It's worth noting that pitch spacing can be tighter than in the UK and outfits may be pitched in all sorts of formations. This leads to some sites having restrictions on the size of outfit that they can accept.
All of our pitches have Electric hook-up as minimum but note that the amperage may be lower than in the UK, some as low as 6 amps, which may not be enough for all of your more powerful appliances. Where electricity is not included in the pitch price it will be metered and payable locally. More info on electric and gas connections on page 197.
Top tips for first timers
• Plan your route including stopovers on the way. How far to drive per day is a personal choice and may determine your destination choice
• Toll roads are very common across Europe with most countries applying charges for using some of their motorways. They can be convenient as they are often quicker and less busy than other roads. More info on specific schemes on page 195
• Large sites with entertainment may be noisier into the late evenings
• Check your vehicle insurance covers your destination
• Take your V5C certificate with you (plus a copy)
• European Travel and breakdown insurance is recommended
• Check the speed limits for your vehicle weight combination
• Check essential kit such as warning triangle, high-vis vests for all passengers, fire extinguisher and first aid kits
Driving in Europe
Driving on the right may seem a little strange initially but taking it easy and paying attention to the road signs mean you'll soon get used to it. In France the roads outside of major towns and cities seem to be less busy than the UK which helps to acclimatise.
Via michelin route planner is a useful tool as along with helping to find your preferred route, it also lets you see what toll roads, fuel consumption and estimated cost will be. As in the UK some sites have narrow access roads so please check if you are travelling in a larger outfit.
Similar to the UK, many European countries have implemented low emission zones usually around city centres, with rules applied depending on specific vehicle types. It’s possible to avoid many of these zones but as the vehicle stickers are relatively cheap to buy, many members buy them anyway in case they have a change of plan or encounter diversions en route. Each country operates their own scheme and in general stickers need to be purchased before you leave the UK so check the requirements of each country in advance. More info on pages 194 & 195.
• Tourist, Eco or Rubbish taxes may apply and will need to be paid directly to sites along with any other local charges, e.g. pets
• For best value, be flexible with travel dates and times, e.g. mid-week crossings are generally cheaper than weekends. Travelling outside of peak season is cheaper but if you have to travel during school holidays, rates often reduce in mid-August
• Electricity and gas may require adaptors
• For information such as what food is permitted when entering the EU and specific country regulations visit gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice
• Taking your pet? Speak to your vet about an Animal Health Certificate 3 months before travel. Many sites will have details of local vets for Tapeworm treatment before returning to the UK
• It’s not uncommon for toilet blocks to be mixed gender. Also not all sites provide toilet roll so it is always handy to have some with you

Travelling in winter
Find your site
More and more people are chasing the sun each winter in Spain and Portugal so it is important to book early. You can expect campsites to be busy, particularly in February and around the Christmas and Easter holidays. Campsites vary – there are smaller, more traditional camping options and large resort sites with a multitude of facilities, entertainment and activity schedules. Electricity might not be included in the price in winter and may be charged on site. You can pitch up at sites for a short or long stay with many sites offering a reduced nightly rate if booking a longer stay.
It's worth keeping in mind some of the local facilities will be closed for winter or you may find that shops and restaurants only open at the weekends, so do some research on your destination before you travel.
Why tour in winter?
Avoid the crowds
One of the perks of touring in winter is there are fewer people at the main attractions and beaches. This allows you to explore and unwind at a more relaxed pace while also avoiding the summer heat. During low season, campsites and attractions offer lower off-peak prices, meaning you save more as you tour during the winter months.
Sociability
Besides the milder weather and less tourists to contend with, members return each year to enjoy the colourful local festivals, good food and wine at great value prices like the ‘menu of the day’ option and the social aspect of meeting up with old friends.

Plan your route
Whether you choose a longer ferry crossing directly to Spain or a short crossing to France it’s essential you plan your route in winter as many campsites will be closed, especially in France where there are very few open all year campsites.
To help you plan your journey, we’ve created three routes with open all year campsite suggestions for you. Strategically placed for breaking up your journey, our en route campsites are the perfect place to spend a night or two on your way to relax in the Spanish or Portuguese sunshine.

Camping Key Europe is invaluable for touring overseas. It provides ID, insurance and personal accident cover whilst on site as well as great discounts.
The facts
• Accepted at over 3000 sites
• Contains all personal details, including passport number, so works as ID at participating campsites for quick and easy check-in
• Includes third party liability insurance for up to six people throughout Europe and in Morocco and Turkey, plus provides personal accident insurance cover whilst on site.
How to buy
Receive a CKE for free when you take out any Red Pennant Motoring & Personal or Motoring only cover, or purchase a card for £7.50 by calling us on 01342 336 633 The CKE card may be deposited with the campsite instead of a passport or ID card and is therefore essential in those countries where a passport or ID card must be carried at all times as a means of identification.

Burgundy
Producing highly sought-after wines, the region’s smaller selection of wine producers only adds to their rarity and increases their value.

Travel Information
Travelling to Montenegro
Unlike the other countries in our European programme, Montenegro is not yet a member of the European Union so it’s important to check UK government advice before travel in case anything is different to what you are used to when travelling within the EU.
As Montenegro isn’t part of the Schengen Area you will need to go through a border checkpoint to enter the country and there are often queues at these border crossings in the peak travel periods so if possible plan to avoid crossing at weekends or go prepared with provisions for a wait. The popular coastal route can be busy so patience may be required and while the inland roads may be less busy care should be taken especially in regard to speed limits.
Conveniently the official currency is the Euro and credit cards are widely accepted so there is no need to exchange a different currency.
Things to check
Vehicle insurance: check with your insurer that Montenegro is on their covered countries list and take your original Certificate of Motor Insurance so that you can prove your cover status when entering Montenegro at the border checkpoint. Any foreign registered cars without suitable valid insurance will be asked to buy insurance at the border crossing. You’ll also need your original V5C vehicle log book. The Club’s car and motorhome/campervan policies both cover Montenegro.
Driving Licence: an International Driving Permit (version 1968) is required and this can be purchased from some PayPoint outlets before you leave the UK. For more information visit gov.uk
Budva
Nearest campsite: Camping Maslina page 182
One of the oldest settlements on the Adriatic coast, Budva is known for its atmospheric old town and the beautiful riviera of nearly 20 beaches that surround the old town. Don’t miss the famous Ballerina of Budvar statue that sits atop the rocky shoreline, and the historic Citadel which houses the town museum.
Festivals
Dan Siruna (October)
Budva celebrates Dan Siruna. It’s a celebration revolving around the fishermen, the port and its seafood and in the old town there is traditional music and celebrations.
Travel Insurance: There is a reciprocal healthcare agreement for British nationals visiting Montenegro which covers emergency treatment at state medical facilities and an EHIC/ GHIC is required for this. The UK government recommends everyone has adequate travel insurance for all trips abroad as EHIC/GHIC don’t provide repatriation or cancellation cover. The Club’s Red Pennant Personal policy covers Montenegro. Caravan insurance cover: check with your insurer that Montenegro is on the covered countries list. The Club’s Caravan Cover does include Montenegro.
Breakdown insurance: check with your insurer that Montenegro is on the covered countries list. The Club’s Red Pennant Motoring policies do cover travel to Montenegro. Mobile phone roaming costs: calls or data used in Montenegro may not be covered under your usual EU roaming agreement so check with your provider.

Travel Tips & Advice
With the Club’s expert help and advice we will ensure that you are aware of what you need to know before you travel. So, relax, read the next few pages and enjoy planning for your overseas holiday!
General travel advice
We recommend that you check the UK government advice for international travel, the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) advice for all of the countries you will travel to or through and the entry requirements for your destination(s). You can view this at gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice. Note, travel insurance policies may be invalid if you travel against FCDO advice. For information on passport and visa requirements, safety and security, local laws and customs please see the travel and living abroad section at gov.uk. This is particularly important as the UK has left the EU and there may be changes to what you need to do since you last travelled to Europe.
Health requirements
For other specific information on vaccination and health requirements for your destination, contact your doctor or nathnac.net.
All accessible by wheelchair and suitable for members who have reduced mobility
All accessible by wheelchair and suitable for members who have reduced mobility Available
The Club advises members to carry a valid EHIC or GHIC when visiting Europe as it allows access to state medical care in the EEA and Switzerland (does not include Liechtenstein, Norway or Iceland). Each person, including children, needs their own card and for more information visit: gov.uk/global-health-insurance-card.
Given the limitations of EHIC / GHIC, we also recommend that you have suitable travel insurance with healthcare cover before you go abroad.
Disabled and special needs
Please advise us at the time of booking if any member of your party is disabled or has special needs. Ferry companies can then make the appropriate arrangements for anyone who requires assistance at ports or onboard ships. If you would like/ need a pitch allocated near the facilities on site, please request this at the time of booking.
If you use a wheelchair or have reduced mobility and would like to discuss your choice of campsites please call the Overseas Travel Team on 01342 777 538 who will be happy to discuss individual requirements and provide more detailed information. Please mention at the time of booking if you have any special requests that you would like passed on to the campsite.

Health and Safety
Please be aware that health and safety regulations in Europe can vary per country and most certainly will be different to the standards in the United Kingdom. The Club carries out health and safety audits to check campsites comply with local regulations. However it is important for you to be aware that on the continent the following four areas can be significantly different to the UK:
Firstly, pitch spacing can be tighter and outfits will be pitched in all sorts of formations, sometimes to avoid trees or vegetation on pitches;
Secondly, swimming pools are often not supervised and may not be fenced off so it is down to parents to watch over their children;
Thirdly, if an alarm needs to be raised in an emergency, you must go to reception immediately as there may not be a bell or a klaxon, for example;
Fourthly, campsites are often located near the sea, lakes and rivers which may not be fenced off, so it is important to be vigilant, particularly of children.
Pets
You will need an Animal Health Certificate for each trip to the EU and should check requirements with your vet in good time prior to travel. For the most up to date information on taking your pet abroad please visit gov.uk/taking-your-pet-abroad. For advice about transporting your pet and a complete guide to its welfare whilst on holiday please visit: rspca.org.uk/adviceandwelfare/pets/general/holiday.
Some campsites do not accept pets. For those campsites that do accept them, the charges for pets are not included in the price you pay to the Caravan and Motorhome Club and must be paid direct to the site on arrival. Campsites have their own rules which may include: dogs being kept on a lead, the number of dogs permitted per pitch, dogs being walked off site and not being left unattended. Please advise us when making your booking if you will be taking a pet.
If you make your ferry booking on our website you may need to contact us by phone to add your pet to your booking. Please note pets must be muzzled when outside the vehicle on Brittany Ferries ships.
Some breeds of dogs are not permitted in certain European Countries, and other breeds of dog can only be imported if they conform to certain rules. To follow is a list of countries (which can be reached by ferry) and breeds which are restricted. Even if a dog type is allowed into a country, some campsites may not allow the breed onto their site. Some campsites may have restrictions on certain dog breeds, so make sure you check both the country and site rules before you travel.
If your dog is on this list please see camc.com/overseasadvice or call our Travel Team on 01342 777 538 for specific details and regulations.
France: American Staffordshire Terrier, Pitbull, Mastiff, Tosa, Rottweiler. (Please note the Staffordshire Bull Terrier can be imported into France without any restrictions).
Netherlands: All breeds of dogs can be imported into the Netherlands providing they do not show any aggressive behaviour.
Ireland: Pitbull, Mastiff, English Bull Terrier, German Shepherd (Alsatian), Akita, Tosa, Rhodesian Ridgeback, Rottweiler, Staffordshire Bull Terrier.
Pets returning to the UK
All dogs returning to the UK must be treated for tapeworm. The treatment must be administered and recorded in the pet travel documentation by a qualified vet. The treatment must take place no less than 24 hours and not more than 120 hours (1 to 5 days) before your scheduled arrival time in the UK. Before leaving the veterinary practice you are advised to check that the following details have been recorded accurately in the pet travel documentation:
• manufacturer and name of product
• date
• time
• stamp and signature
To find a vet overseas ask the campsite to recommend one, or check our website for other options: camc.com/overseasadvice

*** From 28 September 2021 the country identifier changed from ‘GB’ to ‘UK’.
Traffic regulations
Each country has its own traffic and driving regulations. Speed limits vary and on-the-spot fines may be levied on those who exceed them. The number of speed cameras in European countries is increasing. Heavy penalties are applied to those who drink and drive and the alcohol limits are often well below those of the UK.
The use of hand-held phones whilst driving is prohibited in most European countries, and in France it is also illegal to wear headphones or a headset whilst driving. Authorities in a number of European countries have authorised an agency, Euro Parking Collection, to recover outstanding fines on their behalf. If you, as the registered keeper of your vehicle, commit a traffic offence, for example a parking infringement, failure to pay a road toll, failure to stop at a red light or use of a bus lane, then EPC will trace the vehicle with the assistance of the DVLA and you can expect to receive a notice setting out the fine payable, followed by reminders. The Club understands that these fines will be collected through bailiff actions if they aren’t paid so it is best to not ignore these notices and to pay as soon as possible to avoid additional charges being levied.
France Angles Morts stickers
France: vehicles exceeding 3,500kg need Angles Morts stickers
All motorhomes and caravans (not combined with towing vehicle) with a total weight exceeding 3.5 tonnes must have a sticker showing the position of the blind spots, visible on the sides and at the rear of the vehicle.
The stickers must, firstly be visible at all times as well as from the sides and rear of the vehicle, and at a height between 0.90 and 1.50 meters from the ground. Secondly, not obstruct the visibility of the vehicle's registration plates and various lights and signaling devices as well as the driver’s field of vision. Thirdly, comply with the model set by the decree of 5 January 2021.
To view the stickers and more information, please visit securite-routiere.gouv.fr
Charges for use of motorways and main roads
Most countries in our programme apply a charge if driving on some of their main motorways, plus there may be charges to use some bridges or tunnels.
This payment might be collected via a toll scheme where you pay for the distance you have travelled on specific main roads or by a vignette system where you pay upfront a common fee to use major roads. For all countries, a fixed fine will be applied if the toll is not paid. If a police check takes place and unpaid fines are found to exist, the police officer can immobilise the vehicle until payment is made.
For specific details of each country visit tolls.eu. To plan your route and to calculate the cost of tolls visit viamichellin.com
Tolls
There are different types of toll roads so it is important to check when planning your routes and look out for road signage.
Most roads have traditional toll booths that you must pass through when you enter the applicable section and pay on exit. Drivers can pay manually with cash and cards or electronically by signing up to a tag provider which automatically charges without the need to stop and pay at each toll booth.
On some roads the toll booths have been removed so that it is no longer possible to pay by cash/card and the system uses number plate recognition technology to log your travel route. If the vehicle is equipped with a suitable electronic tag the payment will be automatically deducted but if no electronic tag is detected it is the owners responsibility to register on the applicable website and make the payment.
When travelling in France, Spain and Portugal why not enjoy the convenience of an Emovis tag for automatic payment? Visit camc.com/memberoffers for information and member savings.
Vignettes
Required for travel on motorways and main expressways in these countries. The validity duration varies and they can be bought in electronic or sticker format.
Austria
If your vehicle weighs under 3.5t you need to purchase a vignette, if your vehicle weighs over 3.5t you need to hire a ‘Go-Box’. Further information asfinag.at (click on tolls). Caravans/trailers do not need an additional vignette.
Czechia
If your vehicle weighs under 3.5t you need to purchase a vignette, if your vehicle weighs over 3.5t you need to hire an electronic toll. Further information motorway.cz/stickers and mytocz.eu. Caravans/ trailers do not need an additional vignette.
Slovenia
If your vehicle weighs under 3.5t you need to purchase a vignette. If your vehicle weighs over 3.5t you will need sign up for a Darsgo electronic tag. You can register for these in Slovenia at dedicated service centres or online.
For more information visit darsgo.si Caravans/trailers do not need an additional vignette.
Switzerland
Vehicles that weigh under 3.5t need a vignette, (if you are towing a trailer or caravan you will need to purchase two). Vehicles over 3.5t need to pay a lump sum heavy vehicle charge. For more information visit via.admin.ch
Driving in Spain
Outfits over 12 metres Any car/caravan combination or motorhome over 12m in length is required to fit a marker board to the back of the vehicle when driving in Spain.
The marker boards which have a yellow centre and red border must be manufactured to ECE70 standards and be made of aluminium. You can have two boards measuring 565mm x 200mm or one large board measuring 1130mm x 200mm. The boards must be placed between 50cm and 150cm off the ground (the smaller boards may be attached horizontally or vertically).
Marker boards can be purchased from most HGV suppliers, including HGV Direct – hgvdirect.co.uk – or telephone 01335 346 236. Please ensure that any marker boards you purchase have ECE70 stamped on them.
Further information can be found on our website: camc.com/overseasadvice
Low Emission Zones
Catalonia, Spain
More and more European countries are introducing Low Emission Zones, which can require tourists and visitors to purchase a window sticker or register their vehicle in order to visit certain areas and cities. Non-compliance can result in a fine.
As the majority of countries featured in this brochure have some form of traffic access regulations in specific areas please check here for the up to date information: urbanaccessregulations.eu
France
The Crit’Air is the Air Quality Certificate scheme operated throughout France, either permanently in certain cities or temporarily in areas when pollution levels reach a certain level. In these restricted zones, it is mandatory to have the appropriate Air Quality Certificate affixed to the vehicle windscreen.
For more information and to purchase your certificate visit certificat-air.gouv.fr (please note that a copy of your V5C logbook will need to be scanned to purchase the certificate).
Lights
Adjust your headlights so that the dipped beam does not dazzle oncoming drivers by using headlamp converters or beam benders available from most motor accessory shops. Even when not planning to drive at night, this will be required for tunnels or when visibility is poor. Most European Countries recommend that headlights are used even during daylight hours, this is compulsory in Croatia, Czechia, Italy, Slovenia and Switzerland.
Right of way
When driving in France you may come across some main roads where you do not have right of way, and you are required to give way to traffic approaching from the right, the following signs indicate who has priority:
You have priority
You do not have priority
For more advice & information on speed limits, route planning, safety, general legal requirements, travelling with pets and compulsory equipment requirements please see camc.com/overseas
Speed limits
Speed limits vary from country to country and can depend on the type/weight/combination of vehicles.
A comprehensive list of speed limits can be found on our website: camc.com/overseasadvice
In most towns, villages, and built up areas there is a speed limit of 30mph/50km/h, however, in some areas, near schools for example this limit can drop to 18mph/30km/h, and these lower limits will normally be signposted.
In some European countries, when you drive through a town or village, the speed limit is not necessarily signposted numerically. Instead, when you enter the town or village, the place name appears within a rectangular sign. When you leave, you will see a similar sign with a red diagonal line through it. You are required to drive at 30mph/50km/h between these two signs.
LA RECOUSSE HELMOND
Speed limit
Carriage of bicycles
Bicycles may usually be carried on the roof of a car, providing they are attached to an adequate roof-rack and the total height does not exceed 4m. Bike racks attached to the back of vehicles must at no time obscure number plates, indicators or lights, and must be fit for purpose. Bike racks can only rest on the tow bar if the maximum weight allowed on the tow bar is not exceeded. In Spain and Italy any overhanging load must be indicated by a square marker board measuring 50cm x 50cm with reflectorised red and white diagonal stripes. This can be purchased from Fiamma stockists www.fiamma.com
Portuguese regulations stipulate that overhanging loads must not extend past the width of a vehicle. Bikes can be transported on the back of caravans and motorhomes providing they do not extend out more than 45cm. Cross channel operators will need to be advised in advance of your correct vehicle dimensions.
Don’t forget to get insurance for your bike(s) too. Suitable cover from Bikmo is now available via the Club and automatically covers you while abroad – find out more at camc.com/ insurance/other-insurance/cycle-and-ebike-insurance
LA RECOUSSE HELMOND

For driving directions to the campsites listed in this brochure visit camc.com/overseas
Lake Maggiore, Switzerland
Sat Navs
Systems that include laser or radar detection that warn of mobile speed traps are illegal in nearly all European countries. In France it is even illegal to carry this type of equipment in the boot of the car switched off. Satellite Navigation systems that give a warning for fixed speed camera locations are legal in nearly all European countries as the locations of fixed speed cameras are normally available from motoring organisations and online route planning websites. However, the function to warn of fixed speed camera locations must be deactivated in Germany, France and Switzerland. It is advisable to take an up-to-date Atlas or Road map in addition to your Sat Nav.
Gas cylinders
Campingaz is the only widely available gas sold in European countries. This can be used with the minimum of adaptation with appliances which normally use 4.5kg Calor butane. If you feel you cannot carry sufficient gas to last until you return to the UK, before departure purchase a Campingaz adaptor or regulator. Please contact your local caravan/accessory store or alternatively contact gaslow.co.uk, telephone 01509 842 365 (who also stock a range of European gas adaptors). A blue Campingaz cylinder no. 907 holds about 2.7kg of gas, details of stockists can be found at campingaz.com.
Alternatively, locally produced gas can be purchased together with a regulator to ensure the gas enters the system and regulator at the correct pressure. Where the regulator is fitted to your caravan or motorhome you will need to purchase the local brand along with an adaptor to fit your hose to the bottle.
Electricity
Electrical Connections
Approximately 80% of campsites in Europe will have the same 3-pin CEE17 European hook-up that we have in the UK. If the campsite does not have the CEE17 type hookup in most cases they will be able to hire or lend you an adaptor, however, as they will only hold a limited number our advice would be to purchase a 2-pin adaptor in the UK before you leave home.
Reversed Polarity
This can be found on many campsites in Europe and it will not stop any electrical items from working, however, it does mean that your sockets and circuits remain live even when you have switched them off. For further information please see camc.com/overseasadvice or contact us on 01342 777 538.

No site bookings will be requested or confirmed unless/until the above payment is received. In addition, if the request is for a stay within 3 days of arrival in July and August then a non-refundable Late Booking Fee of £20 will be charged.

Documentation
Once you’ve booked your holiday we will email your travel confirmation to you and this is proof of your booking with us. We no longer send tickets for overseas travel bookings. Please remember to check all your documentation carefully. If there is an error on your confirmation invoice, or you do not feel your requests have been conveyed, please tell us within 7 days of receipt so that we can rectify it. Any delay beyond this may mean we are unable to fulfil your request and might incur additional charges.
Please make sure you keep the confirmation invoice safe as this shows your LeShuttle or ferry booking reference and will be required for the check in procedure at the port. If you’ve also made site reservations the sites may wish to see it. It is advisable to make a note of all the details somewhere else as well – just in case!

Please read them carefully as they set out our respective rights and obligations. In these Booking Conditions, “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:
1. He/she has read these terms and conditions and has the authority to and does agree to be bound by them;
2. He/she consents to our use of personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy and is authorised on behalf of all persons named on the booking to disclose their personal details to us, including where applicable, special categories of data (such as information on health conditions or disabilities and dietary requirements);

He/she is over 18 years of age and resident in the United Kingdom (if you are not a resident of the United Kingdom, you must advise us prior to booking) 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;
4. He/she accepts financial responsibility for payment of the booking on behalf of all persons detailed on the booking.
PLEASE NOTE: We act in the following capacities, as a Package Organiser in the sale of a Package and as an Agent.
Our obligations to you will vary depending upon whether we act as a package organiser in the sale of a package holiday (please see condition 19 for further details of where this will be the case) or as a booking agent to help you to arrange holiday products sold by a third party tour operator/ supplier (“Supplier/Principal”) (i.e. ferry operators and LeShuttle and campsite operators).
Our differing obligations are set out below, in three separate sections:
(A) Section A contains the conditions which will apply to all bookings you make with us.
(B) Section B contains the conditions which will apply when you make a package booking with us where we act as the package organiser.
(C) Section C contains the conditions which apply to agency bookings.
Section A. Applicable To All Bookings
1. Making a booking
Once we have received your booking and all appropriate payments, we will, subject to availability, confirm your booking by issuing a confirmation invoice, either directly from us or on behalf of the supplier as applicable. A binding contract between you and the transport / campsite operator or other supplier (where we are acting as an agent), or between you and us (where we are the Organiser of a Package holiday) comes into existence when we despatch the booking confirmation to the party leader.
This confirmation invoice will be sent to the party leader. Please check this invoice carefully as soon as you receive it. You must contact us immediately if any information which appears on the confirmation or any other document appears to be incorrect or incomplete as it may not be possible to make changes later.
We regret we cannot accept any liability if we are not notified of any inaccuracy in any document within 7 days of our sending it out. We will do our best to rectify any mistake notified to us outside these time limits but you must meet any costs involved in doing so.
All documents (e.g. confirmation documents/holiday packs) will be sent to you by post or email. Once documents leave our offices we will not be responsible for their loss unless such loss is due to our negligence. If tickets or other documents need to be reissued all costs must be paid by you. You can ask for delivery by other means subject to any additional charges.
The booking information that you provide to us will be passed on only to the relevant suppliers of your travel arrangements or other persons necessary for the provision of your travel arrangements. The information may therefore be provided to public authorities such as customs or immigration if required by them, or as required by law. This applies to any sensitive information that you give to us such as details of any disabilities, or dietary and religious requirements. Certain information may also be passed on to security or credit checking companies.
2. Payment
You will be required to pay a deposit or make full payment for your booking at the time of booking.
Where you only pay a deposit you must pay the full balance by the balance due date notified to you. If full payment is not received by the balance due date, we will notify the supplier who may cancel your booking and charge the cancellation fees set out in their Terms and Conditions. Alternatively, where you have booked a package or accommodation only arrangement with us, you will be subject to our cancellation charges as set out in Sections B and C below. To confirm your booking or site request, you must pay a deposit at the time of booking. The deposit will ordinarily be 20% of each campsite booking or 25% of each ferry booking. However, some ferry operators and LeShuttle may require
a higher deposit at the time of booking or may require full payment if you are booking more than ten weeks before departure. You will be advised of the exact amount payable at the time of booking.
When accepting any booking within ten weeks of the departure date we reserve the right to ask you to pay the full cost of your booking.
To pay the balance of your booking, you can either contact us to make the payment before or on the balance due date, or you can choose to allow us to securely store your card details so that we can automatically take the balance payment on the balance due date.
If you choose to give us your card details to take your balance payment automatically, the following Consent Agreement will apply to you:
a) The Consent Agreement applies to the debit/credit card you are providing at the time of booking
b) This agreement applies until the end of your booking, or you notify us to cancel your booking. Please read the cancellation terms in clauses 22 to 25 and 38
c) The amount we will collect on the balance due date, will be advised to you on the confirmation document you receive after making your booking
d) Your payment will be taken on or just after your balance due date
e) We may also use this card to collect any one off charges owed to us, including for any amendments.
We accept the following methods of payment: Visa/MasterCard debit or credit card authorisation. NB: No confirmations or other documentation will be forwarded until all invoiced balances have been paid.
We reserve the right to charge a £20 Contact Centre booking fee for any bookings made via our Contact Centre if the same holiday booking could have been made using our online booking system.
We reserve the right to charge a non-refundable Late Booking Fee of £20 for any request to book a campsite stay within 3 days of arrival during July and August.
We reserve the right to charge a £75 campsite only fee for any Long Stay Winter Sun hosted holiday booking that does not also include a ferry or LeShuttle crossing.
3. Accuracy
We endeavour to ensure that the campsite descriptions, holiday information and prices both on our website and in our brochures is up to date at the time of going to press but it is possible (for example) for a campsite to change ownership or for certain facilities or services at the campsite to be altered and we therefore must emphasise that the contents of our brochure/website represent the detail available at the time of publication.
Whilst every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of such information and prices at the time of printing, regrettably errors do occasionally occur. You must therefore ensure you check all details of your chosen arrangements (including the price) with us at the time of booking.
The prices in this brochure and on our website only apply if a site booking is made in advance, through our Contact Centre or website. Bookings not made in advance will be subject to the public prices payable directly to the site.
4. Special requests
If you have any special requests (for example pitch location), please let us know at the time of booking. We will pass on all such requests to the supplier/ representatives but we do not guarantee that they will be met and we will have no liability to you if they are not. 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 by us. We do not accept bookings that are conditional upon any special request being met.
5. Insurance
Adequate travel insurance is a condition of your contract with either us or the supplier in question, as applicable. You must take out a policy of insurance in order to cover you and your party against the cost of cancellation by you; the cost of assistance (including repatriation) in the event of accident or illness; loss of baggage and money; and other expenses. Failure to disclose relevant information may affect your insurance. If you fail to travel with adequate insurance cover we will not be liable for any losses in respect of which insurance cover would otherwise have been available.
6. Ratings and standards
All the ‘star’ and category ratings given in our brochures or on our website are those granted to the campsites by the authorities of the countries in which they are located. These are not grades awarded by our personnel and in no way represent comparisons with our own sites in the UK. We also publish member ratings for the campsites that we promote. Please note that such ratings are simply an amalgamation of the reviews that we have
received for the applicable campsite from our members and do not present ratings that we have set or imposed ourselves. We have no control over such ratings or the reviews provided by our members and no warranty is given or implied in respect of the same.
Standards and ratings may vary between countries, as well as between suppliers. We cannot guarantee the accuracy of any ratings given and no warranty is given or implied. Please note that as a general rule, the requirements and standards of the country you visit will not be the same as the UK and may sometimes be lower.
7. Behaviour
Please be aware that the booking conditions of the supplier will normally state that your holiday arrangements can be terminated, with no refund, if the behaviour of your party falls below an acceptable standard. Suppliers will also often require you to pay for any damage you cause to the accommodation or services in resort. We are under no obligation to you if any event such as this occurs. You agree to indemnify us for the full amount of any claim (including all legal costs) made against us by the supplier or any third party as a result of your conduct. In order to maintain the security and safety at all of our sites we prohibit users who have been convicted of, or received a police caution for, a sexual offence (listed in Schedule 3 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003) and have been made subject to the notification requirements under the sexual offenders register or a Sexual Harm Prevention Order. If we are made aware that either yourself or a member of your party are subject to these provisions then we reserve the right to terminate your booking in advance or whilst on site during your stay, without refund.
8. Entry, Passport, Visa and Immigration & Health Formalities
It is your responsibility to check and fulfil the entry, passport, visa, health and immigration requirements applicable to your itinerary. If you or any member of your party is 16 or over and haven’t yet got a passport, our recommendation is that you should apply for one at least 6 weeks before your arrangements. 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 3 or 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 0300 222 0000 or visit https://www.gov.uk/browse/ citizenship/passports.
For European travel to the EEA and Switzerland you should obtain a UK Global Health Insurance Card (UK GHIC) prior to departure unless you are able to rely upon an existing European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). Passengers should also obtain comprehensive medical insurance prior to departure, including cover for emergency medical treatment and associated costs.

9. Force Majeure
Except where otherwise expressly stated in these booking conditions we (or the Supplier/Principal, where we are acting as an agent) will not be liable or pay you compensation if our contractual obligations to you are affected by Force Majeure. For the purposes of these Booking Conditions, Force Majeure means any event beyond our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken.
Examples include warfare and acts of terrorism (and threat thereof), civil strife, significant risks to human health such as the outbreak of serious disease at the travel destination (including but not limited to Covid-19 or future strains of Covid-19 and the ongoing effects of Covid-19), epidemic, pandemic, or natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes or weather conditions which make it impossible to travel safely to the travel destination or remain at the travel destination, the act of any government or other national or local authority including port or river authorities, industrial dispute, labour strikes, lock closure, natural or nuclear disaster, fire, chemical or biological disaster, unavoidable technical problems with transport and all similar events outside our control or the control of the supplier concerned.
10. Law and Jurisdiction
These terms and conditions are governed by English law and any dispute arising between the parties is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales (unless you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland, in which case you can bring proceedings in your local court under Scottish or Northern Irish law, as applicable).
11. Conditions of suppliers
Many of the services which make up your holiday are provided by independent suppliers. Those suppliers provide these services in accordance with their own terms and conditions which will form part of your contract with us. Some of these terms and conditions may limit or exclude the supplier’s liability to you, usually in accordance with applicable International Conventions. Copies of the
relevant parts of these terms and conditions are available on request from us or the supplier concerned.
12. Data Protection and Privacy
We may use your details in order to send you information about other products and services provided by the Caravan and Motorhome Club, or to carry out research. We may contact you by letter, telephone or email. Telephone calls to the Club may be monitored or recorded for training purposes only. Please be reassured that we will not make your personal details available to any organisation or person outside of the Club to use for their own marketing purposes. If you would prefer not to receive any further information or participate in research, simply tell us when you next call or write to us. Please see our data protection and privacy policy www.caravanclub.co.uk/ privacy-policy/ for full information regarding the way in which we use and store your personal data.
13. Overseas Sites Special offers
Only one offer can be applied per booking and it can only be applied once, unless otherwise stated. The offer will only be applied if you have the required booking conditions such as booking the minimum number of nights within the offer period.
The offer will be applied automatically to your booking where possible. The Caravan and Motorhome Club reserves the right to withdraw these offers at any time. Any amendments made to bookings with special offers may be subject to the standard prices.
14. Services
Unless otherwise stated in the campsite or holiday description, all members must settle any bills directly with the relevant site administration. This could include, but is not limited to, any bills for water or sewage connections, tourist tax, registration fees, Eco tax, rubbish tax and pet charges.
15. Your property
You must pay all due care and attention to your personal belongings. We cannot accept any liability if they are lost or damaged. Unattended caravans or any other vehicles and their contents are the sole responsibility of their operators.
16. Child Prices
The age at which child prices come into operation varies according to the supplier. All age definitions relate to the age of that person on the date of departure from home.
17. Campsite facilities and activities
Our brochures and website describe the facilities and activities normally available at each campsite during the main part of the season, which is commonly national holidays and school holidays specific to the countries advertised in our brochures and on our website. Please note that facilities and services are generally available depending on the number of people participating. These services will not be offered if there are insufficient numbers. At many sites not all facilities and activities will be operating during the early and late season (e.g. as a result of lack of demand, weather conditions, maintenance and repair etc.) and we cannot be held liable for non-provision of any service. In some cases only a bare minimum of facilities and no activities will be open during the low season.
18. Advance Booking Service
The minimum period which may be accepted for any booking with the Advance Booking Service is one night unless otherwise stated at the time of booking. There is no restriction on the maximum number of nights or sites which may be booked but members making such a booking must stay at the site on all nights they have booked.
We reserve the right to charge a non-refundable Late Booking Fee of £20 for any request to book a campsite stay within 3 days of arrival during July and August.
High and low season periods vary for each site and full details are available on request.
Section B: Package Holiday Bookings
This section only applies to Package Holidays booked with us as Organiser (please see condition 19 for further details of when this will be the case). Please read this section in conjunction with Section A of these Booking Conditions.
19. Definition of Package
Where your booking is for a Package Holiday that we have organised, as defined below, we will act as a “Package Organiser” and you will receive the rights and benefits under the Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018 (“PTRs”), as outlined in this Section B of these Booking Terms and Conditions.
A “Package Holiday” exists if you book a combination of two of the following separate travel services: (a) transport; (b) accommodation; (c) rental of cars, motor vehicles or motorcycles (in certain circumstances); (d) any other tourist service not intrinsically part of one of the above travel services; provided that those separate travel services are purchased together from a single visit to our contact centre or website and selected by you before you agree to pay; or are offered, sold or charged at an inclusive or total price; or advertised or sold under the term “package” or a similar term.
20. Pricing of Packages
The prices stated in our brochures and on our website are exclusively available only when booking in advance with the Caravan and Motorhome Club.
Our prices were calculated on the basis of then known costs and exchange rates. We reserve the right to increase or decrease the prices of unsold arrangements at any time. We also reserve the right to make changes to and correct errors in advertised prices at any time before your arrangements are confirmed. The price of your chosen arrangements will be confirmed at the time of booking.
Once the price of your chosen arrangements has been confirmed at the time of booking, then, subject to the correction of errors, we will only increase or decrease the price to allow for increases which are a direct consequence of changes in:
Terms & Conditions
(i) the price of the carriage of passengers resulting from the cost of fuel or other power sources;
(ii) the level of taxes or fees applicable to the holiday imposed by third parties not directly involved in the performance of the holiday, including tourist taxes, landing taxes or embarkation or disembarkation fees at ports and airports; and
(iii) the exchange rates relevant to the package.
Such variations could include but are not limited to airline cost changes which are part of our contracts with airlines (and their agents), ferry cost changes, cruise ship operators and any other transport providers.
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 and/or additional services or travel arrangements. You will be charged for the amount over and above that. You will be charged for the amount of any increase in accordance with this clause. However, if this means that you have to pay an increase of more than 8% of the price of your confirmed holiday (excluding any insurance premiums, amendment charges and/or additional services or travel arrangements), you will have the option of accepting a change to another holiday if we are able to offer one (if this is of equivalent or higher quality you will not have to pay more but if it is of lower quality you will be refunded the difference in price), or cancelling and receiving a full refund of all monies paid to us, except for any insurance premiums and any amendment charges and/or additional services or travel arrangements. Should you decide to cancel for this reason, you must exercise your right to do so within 7 days from the issue date printed on your final invoice. We will consider an appropriate refund of insurance premiums paid if you can show that you are unable to transfer or reuse your policy. Should the price of your holiday go down due to the changes mentioned above, then any refund due will be paid to you less an administrative fee of £20. However, 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 protection in place. There will be no change made to the price of your confirmed holiday within 20 days of your departure nor will refunds be paid during this period.
Please Note: Many transport operators are now using ‘Flexible Pricing’. This effectively means that prices can and do vary on a daily basis for the same arrangements.
Consequently, where we give a quotation for a particular journey, this is only valid at the time of quoting. Any booking made at a later time may be at a different rate. We reserve the right to correct errors in both advertised and confirmed prices. We will do so as soon as we become aware of the error. Please note, changes and errors occasionally occur. You must check the price of your chosen arrangements at the time of booking.
21. Cutting Your Package Holiday Short
If you are forced to return home early, we cannot refund the cost of any travel arrangements you have not used. If you cut short your holiday and return home early in circumstances where you have no reasonable cause for complaint about the standard of accommodation and services provided, we will not offer you any refund for that part of your holiday not completed, or be liable for any associated costs you may incur. Depending on the circumstances, your travel insurance may offer cover for curtailment and we suggest that any claim is made directly with them.
22. Changes by you and transfers of bookings
If you wish to change any part of your booking arrangements after our confirmation invoice has been issued, you must inform us in writing or by telephone 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 we will be able to meet your requested change. Where we can meet a request, all changes will be subject to payment of an administration fee of £20 per change as well as any applicable rate changes or extra costs incurred as well as any costs incurred by ourselves and any costs or charges incurred or imposed by any of our suppliers. You should be aware that these costs could increase the closer to the departure date that changes are made and you should contact us as soon as possible. Where we are unable to assist you and you do not wish to proceed with the original booking we will treat this as a cancellation by you. A cancellation fee may be payable.
Transfers of Bookings:
If any member of your party is prevented from travelling, that person(s) may transfer their place to someone else subject to the following conditions:
a. that person is introduced by you and satisfies all the conditions applicable to the holiday;
b. we are notified not less than 7 days before departure;
c. you pay any outstanding balance payment, an amendment fee of £20 per person transferring, as well as any additional fees, charges or other costs arising from the transfer; and
d. the transferee agrees to these booking conditions and all other terms of the contract between us.
You and the transferee remain jointly and severally liable for payment of all sums. If you are unable to find a replacement, cancellation charges as set out in clause 23 will apply in order to cover our estimated costs. Otherwise, no refunds will be given for passengers not travelling or for unused services. Note: Certain arrangements may not be amended or transferred after they have been confirmed and any alteration could incur a cancellation charge of up to 100% of that part of the arrangements.
23. If you cancel before departure
If you or any member of your party decides to cancel your confirmed booking you must notify us by telephone or in writing. Your notice of cancellation will only take effect when it is received by us at our offices and will be effective from the date on which we receive it.
As we and our suppliers incur costs from the time we confirm your booking, the following charges will apply: If cancellation is received prior to or on Balance Due Date, your deposit will be retained. Except in the case where a non-refundable fare has been booked, when the entire fare amount will be retained. If cancellation is received after Balance Due Date, then your deposit will be retained, together with all costs and charges incurred by us and/or incurred or imposed by any of our suppliers as a result.
Claims may be made on the Red Pennant Service (if purchased by you) if the reason for the cancellation is covered (see Red Pennant policy wording).
Where any cancellation reduces the duration of stay or number of full paying party members below the number on which the price, number of free places and/ or any concessions agreed for your booking were based, we will recalculate these items and re-invoice you accordingly.
Note: Certain arrangements may not be amended after they have been confirmed and any alteration or cancellation could incur a cancellation charge of up to 100% of that part of the arrangements in addition to the charge above.
24. Cancellation by you due to unavoidable & extraordinary circumstances
You have the right to cancel your confirmed holiday before departure without paying a cancellation charge in the event of “unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances” occurring at your holiday destination or its immediate vicinity and significantly affecting the performance of the holiday or significantly affecting the transport arrangements to the destination. In these circumstances, we shall provide you with a full refund of the monies you have paid but we will not be liable to pay you any additional compensation. Please note that your right to cancel in these circumstances will only apply where the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office advises against travel to your destination or its immediate vicinity.
For the purposes of this clause, “unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances” means warfare, acts of terrorism, significant risks to human health such as the outbreak of serious disease at the travel destination or natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes or weather conditions which make it impossible to travel safely to the travel destination. This condition 24 outlines the rights you have if you wish to cancel your Package booking. Please note that there is no automatic statutory right of cancellation under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013.
25. If We Make a Change or Cancel Your Package Holiday
We start planning the arrangements that we offer many months in advance. Occasionally, we have to make changes to and correct errors in our brochure and other details both before and after bookings have been confirmed, and can cancel confirmed bookings. Whilst we always endeavour to avoid changes and cancellations, we must reserve the right to do so. However, we will only cancel your confirmed arrangements after the date the balance of the cost of your holiday is due where you have failed to comply with any requirement of these booking conditions entitling us to cancel (such as paying on time), where we are forced to do so as a result of Force Majeure as defined in condition 9, or where minimum numbers for any tour or other arrangement as advertised in our brochure or on our website, are not reached by 10 weeks prior to the date of departure.
Changes: If we make an insignificant change to your holiday, we will make reasonable efforts to inform you as soon as reasonably possible if there is time before your departure but we will have no liability to you. Examples of “insignificant changes” include the following when made before departure: any change in the advertised identity of the carrier(s), LeShuttle/ferry timings, and/or ferry type; a change of outward departure time or overall length of your holiday of twelve hours or less; a change of accommodation to another of the same standard or classification.
Occasionally, we may have to make a “significant change” to your holiday. “Significant changes” include the following changes when made before departure; a change of accommodation area for the whole or a major part of the time you are away, a change of outward departure time or overall length of time you are away of twelve or more hours, or a change of UK departure point to one which is more inconvenient for you.
If we have to make a significant change or cancel, we will tell you as soon as possible. If there is time to do so before departure, we will offer you the choice of the following options:
(a) (For significant changes) accepting the changed arrangements or
(b) accepting an offer of alternative arrangements from us, of a similar or higher standard, if available (at no extra cost); or
(c) if available, accepting an offer of alternative arrangements of a lower standard, with a refund of the price difference between the original arrangements and the alternative arrangements; or
(d) Cancelling or accepting the cancellation in which case you will receive a full and prompt refund of all monies you have paid to us.
You must notify us of your choice within 7 days of our offer. If we do not hear from you within 7 days, we will contact you again to request notification of your choice. If you fail to respond again, we will assume that you have chosen to accept the change or alternative booking arrangements.
In addition to a full refund of all monies paid by you, we will pay you reasonable compensation, in the following circumstances:
- If, where we make a significant change, you do not accept the changed arrangements and cancel your booking;
- If we cancel your booking and no alternative arrangements are available. IMPORTANT NOTE: We will not pay you compensation in the following circumstances:
- where we make an insignificant change;
- where we make a significant change or cancel your arrangements more than 70 days before departure;
- where we make a significant change and you accept those changed
arrangements or you accept an offer of alternative travel arrangements;
- where we have to cancel your arrangements as a result of your failure to make full payment on time;
- where the change or cancellation by us arises out of alterations to the confirmed booking requested by you;
- where we are forced to cancel or change your arrangements due to Force Majeure (see condition 9).
If we become unable to provide a significant proportion of the services that you have booked with us after you have departed, we will, if possible, make alternative arrangements for you at no extra charge and, where those alternative arrangements are of a lower standard, provide you with an appropriate price reduction.
26. Our responsibilities to you in respect of package holidays
(1) We will accept responsibility for the arrangements we agree to provide or arrange for you as an “organiser” under the Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018, as amended as set out below and as such, we are responsible for the proper provision of the travel services specifically included in your Package, as set out in your confirmation invoice, brochure, website and the information we provided to you regarding the services prior to booking. Please note that we shall not be responsible for any additional services provided to you, whether provided by the travel service providers or otherwise, which are not set out in your confirmation invoice, brochure, website and the information we provided to you regarding the services prior to booking.
(2) We will not be responsible nor pay you compensation for any personal injury or death unless you are able to prove that it was caused by our negligence or the negligence of our suppliers.
(3) We will not be responsible or pay you compensation for any injury, illness, death, loss, damage, expense, cost or other claim of any description if it results from:
(a) the act(s) and/or omission(s) of the person(s) affected; or
(b) the act(s) and/or omission(s) of a third party unconnected with the provision of the services contracted for and which were unavoidable and extraordinary; or
(c) Force Majeure (as defined in clause 9).
(4) We limit the amount of compensation we may have to pay you if we are found liable under this clause:
(a) loss of and/or damage to any luggage or personal possessions and money, The maximum amount we will have to pay you in respect of these claims is an amount equivalent to the excess on your insurance policy which applies to this type of loss per person in total because you are required to have adequate insurance in place to cover any losses of this kind.
(b) Claims not falling under (a) above and which don’t involve injury, illness or death
The maximum amount we will have to pay you in respect of these claims is up to three times the price paid by or on behalf of the person(s) affected in total. This maximum amount will only be payable where everything has gone wrong and you or your party has not received any benefit at all from your booking.
(c) Claims in respect of international travel by air, sea and rail, or any stay in a hotel
i. Where applicable, the extent of our liability will in all cases be limited as if we were carriers under the appropriate Conventions such as The Athens Convention (with respect to sea travel) and The Berne/Cotif Convention (with respect to rail travel). You can ask for copies of this Convention from our offices. Please contact us. In addition, you agree that the operating carrier or transport company's own 'Conditions of Carriage' will apply to you on that journey. When arranging transportation for you, we rely on the terms and conditions contained within these international conventions and those 'Conditions of Carriage'. You acknowledge that all of the terms and conditions contained in those 'Conditions of Carriage' form part of your contract with us, as well as with the transport company and that those 'Conditions of Carriage' shall be deemed to be included by reference into this contract.
ii. Where applicable, in any circumstances in which a carrier is liable to you by virtue of EC 261/2004 (denied boarding and flight disruption), any liability we may have to you under our contract with you, arising out of the same facts, is limited to the remedies provided under the Regulation as if (for this purpose only) we were a carrier.
iii. Where applicable, when making any payment, we are entitled to deduct any money which you have received or are entitled to receive from the transport provider or hotelier for the complaint or claim in question.
(5) Subject to these Booking Terms & Conditions, if we or our suppliers negligently perform or arrange those services set out in the confirmation invoice, brochure, website and the information we provided to you regarding the services prior to booking and we don’t remedy or resolve your complaint within a reasonable period of time, and this has affected the enjoyment of your Package travel arrangements you may be entitled to an appropriate price reduction or compensation or both. You must inform us without undue delay of any failure to perform or improper performance of the travel services included in this Package. The level of any such price reduction or compensation will be calculated taking into consideration all relevant factors such as but not limited to: following the complaints procedure as described in these Booking Terms & Conditions and the extent to which ours or our employees’ or suppliers’ negligence affected the overall enjoyment of your trip. Please note that it is your responsibility to show that we or our supplier(s) have been negligent if you wish to make a claim against us.
(6) It is a condition of our acceptance of liability under this clause that you notify any claim to us and our supplier(s) strictly in accordance with the complaints procedure set out in these conditions.
(7) Where any payment is made, the person(s) receiving it (and their parent or guardian if under 18 years) must also assign to ourselves or our insurers any rights they may have to pursue any third party and must provide ourselves and our insurers with all assistance we may reasonably require.
(8) Please note, we cannot accept any liability for any damage, loss or expense or other sum(s) of any description: (a) which on the basis of the information given to us by you concerning your booking prior to our accepting it, we could not have foreseen you would suffer or incur if we breached our contract with you; or (b) relate to any business; (c) indirect or consequential loss of any kind.
(9) We will not accept responsibility for services or facilities which do not form part of our agreement or where they are not advertised in our brochure. For example any excursion you book whilst away, or any service or facility which your hotel or any other supplier agrees to provide for you.
(10) Where it is impossible for you to return to your departure point as per the agreed return date of your package, due to “unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances”, we shall provide you with any necessary accommodation (where possible, of a comparable standard) for a period not exceeding three nights per person. Please note that the three night cap does not apply to persons with reduced mobility, pregnant women or unaccompanied minors, nor to persons needing specific medical assistance, provided we have been notified of these particular needs in advance. For the purposes of this clause, “unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances” mean warfare, acts of terrorism, significant risks to human health such as the outbreak of serious disease at the travel destination or natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes or weather conditions which make it impossible to travel safely back to your departure point.
27. Delays
We do not offer flights and we are not responsible for any flight you may otherwise book. In the event that you make such a booking with another supplier, please read those terms and conditions carefully. You may have rights in some circumstances to refunds and/or compensation from the airline in cases of denied boarding, cancellation or delay to flights. Contact your airlines or the third party you made a flight booking with for more information.
If you or any member of your party misses your transport arrangement, it is cancelled or you are subject to a delay of over 3 hours for any reason, you must contact us and the transport supplier concerned immediately.
Please note, where you have booked transportation separately and delays etc. affect the booking made through us, this does not give the customer the right to claim a refund for any nights missed nor amend their booking with us. Reimbursement in such cases is the responsibility of your transport arrangement and will not automatically entitle you to a refund of your holiday price from us. A delay or cancellation to your transport arrangement does not automatically entitle you to cancel any other part of your itinerary with us even where those have been made in conjunction with your flight.
28. Insolvency Protection
We provide full financial protection for our package holidays by way of a bond held by ABTA Ltd, The Travel Association 30 Park Street London SE1 9EQ www.abta.co.uk.
You agree to accept that in the event of our insolvency, ABTA may arrange for the travel services you have booked to continue, or for a suitable alternative to be provided at the same cost of your original booking. You also agree to accept that in circumstances where the travel services supplier provides the services you have booked, you agree to pay any outstanding sum under your contract with us to that alternative travel service provider. However, you also agree that in some cases the services will not be provided, in which case you will be entitled to make a claim under ABTA’s Scheme of Protection (or your payment card issuer where applicable) for a refund of the monies you have paid.
29. Insurance
As noted in condition 5 of these Terms and Conditions, it is a condition of booking with us that you have adequate travel insurance in place. For some Package holiday bookings where we act as Organiser, if you do not take our own Red Pennant Holiday insurance we may require you to provide details of your alternative insurance cover, the benefits of which must be at least as good as those offered by Red Pennant. Where you are asked to provide such details, we will not check the suitability of the policy and it will remain your responsibility to ensure your chosen insurance policy is adequate for your needs. Details of the policy we offer are shown in our brochures and on our website, www.caravanclub.co.uk/insurance/overseas-holiday-insurance. Premiums must be paid as soon as possible as cover will not be effective until we receive all applicable premiums in full. Please read your policy details carefully and take them with you on your break. It is your responsibility to ensure that the insurance cover you purchase is suitable and adequate for your particular needs. When purchasing insurance, either by way of our own Red Pennant Holiday insurance or your own personal policy, please ensure that all relevant information has been provided by you (e.g. pre-existing medical conditions). Failure to disclose relevant information will affect your insurance.
30. Location of Pitches
We cannot guarantee that members will be allocated pitches all together in the same area of the campsite. However, campsite operators will be requested to arrange this wherever possible.
31. The Caravan Code
Members are required to adhere to and abide by The Caravan Code as set out in the Caravan and Motorhome Club’s UK Sites Directory and Handbook. Parents have responsibility for their children at all times unless placed in the care of a duly authorised person. Particular care should be taken on sites with lakes, swimming pools and children’s playgrounds.
32. Unused or Additional Nights
No refunds can be made for any nights not spent at campsites booked in the holiday itinerary. Where members want to stay extra nights, please contact us and we will attempt to extend your booking, subject to payment by you of any additional charges that may apply.
Members are responsible for paying any campsite fees in respect of night halts which are not included in a booking itinerary.
33. Holidays including Ferry or LeShuttle travel
Members must travel out and back on the ferries/LeShuttle at the times booked by us. Members who travel with any other ferry operator and/or at a different time than the booked sailing will be liable for the full cost of the alternative arrangement.
If an outbound ferry or LeShuttle crossing is not used then the inbound will automatically be cancelled by the ferry operator or LeShuttle. No reduction in prices can be granted to shareholders of the ferry companies utilised. Any ferry offers published in Club publications, or on our website, may be restricted by booking type, date, etc.
34. Prompt assistance
If, whilst you are on holiday, you find yourself in difficulty for any reason, we will offer you such prompt assistance as is appropriate in the circumstances. In particular, we will provide you with appropriate information on health services, local authorities and consular assistance, and assistance with distance communications and finding alternative travel arrangements. Where you require assistance which is not owing to any failure by us, our employees or sub-contractors, we will not be liable for the costs of any alternative travel arrangements or other such assistance you require. Any supplier, airline or other transport supplier may however pay for or provide refreshments and/ or appropriate accommodation and you should make a claim directly to them. Subject to the other terms of these Booking Conditions, we will not be liable for any costs, fees or charges you incur in the above circumstances, if you fail to obtain our prior authorisation before making your own travel arrangements. Furthermore, we reserve the right to charge you a fee for our assistance in the event that the difficulty is caused intentionally by you or a member of your party, or otherwise through your or your party’s negligence.
35. Complaints
Where you have booked a package holiday with us, please inform the relevant supplier immediately and contact us at our Travel Service Department at East Grinstead on 01342 316 101 during office hours or on 01342 336 606 in cases of emergency.
If your complaint is not resolved locally, please follow this up, ideally within 28 days of your return home, by writing to our Travel Service Department giving your booking reference and all other relevant information. It is strongly recommended that you communicate any complaint to the supplier of the services in question without delay. If you fail to follow this procedure we will have been deprived of the opportunity to investigate and rectify your complaint whilst you were in resort and this may affect your rights under this contract.
36. ABTA
We are a Member of ABTA, membership number Y6697. We are obliged to maintain a high standard of service to you by ABTA’s Code of Conduct. We can also offer you ABTA’s scheme for the resolution of disputes which is approved by the Chartered Trading Standards Institute. If we can’t resolve your complaint, go to www.abta.com to use ABTA’s simple procedure. Further information on the Code and ABTA’s assistance in resolving disputes can be found on www.abta.com.
Section C: Agency bookings
This section applies to bookings we make for you when acting as agent. Please read this section in conjunction with Section A of these Booking Conditions.
37. Your Contract With Supplier/Principal
Where we act as Agent, we will arrange for you to enter into a contract with the applicable Supplier/Principal (e.g. ferry operators and LeShuttle and campsite operators) of your chosen travel arrangements, as named on your booking confirmation.
As an Agent we accept no responsibility for the acts or omissions of the supplier or for the services provided by the supplier.
The supplier’s Terms & Conditions will apply to your booking and we advise you to read these carefully as they do contain important information about your booking. Please ask us for copies of these if you do not have them. 38. Cancellation & Amendment By You
Any cancellation or amendment request must be communicated to us via telephone or sent to us in writing, and will take effect from the day we receive it. Please ensure that you have received written confirmation of any changes to your booking prior to travel. Whilst we will try to assist, we cannot guarantee that the Supplier/Principal will meet such requests. Amendments and cancellations can only be accepted in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Supplier/Principal of your arrangements. The Supplier/
Principal may charge the cancellation or amendment charges shown in their booking conditions (which normally increase closer to the date of departure and may be as much as 100% of the cost of the travel arrangements).
In addition an administration fee of £20 will be payable for any amendments. You will be notified of the exact charges payable at the time of amendment or cancellation and it is recommended that you contact us prior to amendment or cancellation in order to confirm the charges applicable.
39. Ferry refund vouchers
Some ferry operators may give travel vouchers for their services instead of cash refunds under certain circumstances if you cancel a booking. Please note that we can only accept these vouchers/credit notes against new bookings if the original cancelled booking was made via the Caravan and Motorhome Club.
40. Changes Or Cancellations By The Supplier/Principal
We will inform you of any changes or cancellations made by the Supplier/ Principal as soon as reasonably possible. If the Supplier/Principal offers alternative arrangements or a refund, you will need to let us know your choice within the stipulated time frame. If you fail to do so the Supplier/Principal is entitled to assume you wish to receive a full refund. We accept no liability for any changes or cancellations made to your arrangements by the supplier under your contract with them.
41. Our Responsibility For Your Booking
Your contract is with the Supplier/Principal and its booking conditions apply. As agent, we accept no responsibility for the actual provision of the arrangements. Our responsibilities are limited to making the booking in accordance with your instructions. We accept no responsibility for any information about the arrangements that we pass on to you in good faith. However, in the event that we are found liable to you on any basis whatsoever, our maximum liability to you is limited to twice the cost of the commission earned in relation to your booking (or the appropriate proportion of this if not everyone on the booking is affected). We do not exclude or limit any liability for death or personal injury that arises as a result of our negligence or that of any of our employees whilst acting in the course of their employment.
42. Complaints
Because the contract for your travel arrangements is between you and the Supplier/Principal, any queries or concerns about your arrangements should be addressed to them. You will see the name and address plus contact details on our website www.camc.com/overseas. If you have a problem with your travel arrangements whilst using them, this must be reported to the Supplier/Principal immediately. If you require assistance liaising with the supplier, please contact the Club and we will be happy to mediate.
If you fail to follow this procedure there will be less opportunity for the Supplier/ Principal to investigate and rectify your complaint. The amount of compensation you may be entitled to may therefore be reduced or extinguished as a result. If you wish to complain when you return home, write to the Supplier/Principal. You will see their name and contact details in any confirmation documents we send you.
If you wish to complain about any service we have provided to you as Agent (i.e. our booking service) then please contact us directly.
