We accept your booking in good faith and you agree that there are no reasons which have not been disclosed to us in writing before booking (e.g. severe infirmity or incapability) which may make it unwise for you or your party to embark on the tour. The safety and well being of all passengers on the coach is the responsibility of the coach driver whose directions providing they are reasonable must be respected by you. We are responsible for the acts and omissions of our staff and suppliers of services with whom we contract. We are not able to accept responsibility for unexpected or unforeseen circumstances beyond our control where we have taken all due care to avoid them.

We sometimes make changes to journeys and excursions in response to adverse weather conditions, road repairs, road congestion and other local factors. In these circumstances the driver will exercise his discretion reasonably having all due consideration to the relevant factors and as a result there may be changes to the planned journey. In the event that the principal destination of your holiday is no longer available for reasons beyond our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all due care had been exercised, then we will attempt to make alternative arrangements at no extra cost and will refund any difference in the cost between the original arrangements and the alternative arrangements supplied. Where we are unable to agree to make appropriate alternative arrangements, with both parties acting reasonably, we will either return you to the original departure point or to another mutually agreed place. Advertised pick up points and timings are only indicative and are not finalised until shortly before departure. A change to either the pickup point, pick up time or number of pick up points is not considered to be a significant alteration to the terms of the contract.

We will not vary the price within 30 days before the date of departure. In the event of the alterations in price being less than 2% then no variation will be made.

Should the price change be such that it amounts to a major alteration of the terms of the contract, or there is any other significant change to the contract, then you will be entitled to the three options noted in paragraph one of the “Changes by us” section (above) and, where appropriate, seek compensation.

Complaints All complaints we receive are thoroughly investigated and customers are kept informed at each stage of the investigation. Sometimes investigations can take time as we await response from our service providers. In order to bring matters to the attention of the service providers at the earliest possible opportunity you should raise any matter that relates directly to the Hotel or Holiday Centre with a Senior Manager or Owner as it arises so that matters can be dealt with there and then. Any complaint associated with transport should be intimated to the driver as soon as possible to give him the opportunity to correct any deficiency. Should the matter remain unresolved after a reasonable time has been allowed for action, you should report the matter to us without delay and confirm the same in writing as soon as possible thereafter. We would consider 28 days to be a reasonable time to confirm the complaint to us and in the event of the complaint not being intimated in time, this may impede the future investigation and could affect your entitlement to compensation.

Behaviour If you or any member of your party is considered likely to cause offence, danger, damage or distress to others we reserve the right at all times to cancel or terminate your holiday completely. If this situation arises our responsibility under the contract will cease and we will be under no obligation to cover expenses incurred nor shall we consider any claims for compensation or refunds.

GENERAL INFORMATION & INSURANCE Tickets

Meals en-route

Your ticket giving exact time and place of departure will be sent to you approximately one week prior to departure. At the same time you will receive your luggage labels. To help your holiday planning, proposed pick up times are indicated in this brochure but please ensure you check the final details as stated on your ticket.

Whilst we do not include meals en-route, when appropriate we will make stops where snacks/meals can be purchased.

Seat allocation When you book you will be advised in which areas of the coach space is available (see diagram). From this information, you will be able to select the area from which your seat(s) will be allocated. Your exact seat number will be advised by your driver as you join the coach.

There is a supplement to confirm booking of the front seats, subject to availability.

Driver

Return Journey Exact time of arrival home can vary owing to weather, traffic conditions etc. If you are arranging for someone to collect you on return, we suggest you ask the driver at the last comfort stop on the way back, and telephone ahead.

Hotels The hotel gradings used in this brochure are taken from the respective organisations’ handbook available at the time of going to print. For hotels on the Continent, we use local ratings, which can vary from country to country. Generally meals on the Continent will reflect local cuisine. Continental breakfast is usually a croissant or roll and coffee, whilst buffet breakfast includes a selection of meats and cheeses. Dinner at hotels on the Continent may include a set menu or limited choice.

Entertainment Whilst we encourage hotels to provide some entertainment, the type and amount of entertainment is at the discretion of the management, will vary from hotel to hotel and may be dependent on numbers staying at the hotel.

Pavement Side

Luggage

Satisfaction Cards

Please ensure that your luggage is sturdy and waterproof - suitable for the normal handling and conditions on a coach tour. Approximately one week before departure, we will send you your luggage label. Please ensure that it is completed and prominently displayed on your luggage.

When we send your tickets we include a satisfaction card which we hope you will complete and return to us at the end of your holiday. There is no postage charge for the sender. Whilst all cards are carefully scrutinised and help us a great deal in maintaining and improving standards we do not send acknowledgement of receipt of your card.

Personal Belongings Please, please, double check you have all your personal belongings gathered together before you vacate the hotel and before you leave the coach as returning items to customers is, at best, both difficult and expensive and, at worst, sadly some items are ‘lost forever’.

Smoking / Alcohol on board

What to do if you have a problem If you have any problem on tour your driver will do his/her best to help. Within the hotel the proprietor/manager/senior staff will do their best to handle requests or resolve problems. But please remember that if you do not tell the proprietor/manager about the problem there is little he/she can do.

Equally, if any problem is not resolved and the first time you contact us is after the holiday is over, then it is too late for us to take action. (This does not negate your right under our booking conditions.)

Smoking and the consumption of alcohol is not permitted on coaches. There will be regular comfort stops when those wishing to smoke can do so.

David Urquhart Travel comply with Government regulations to protect customer funds.

HOLIDAY INSURANCE We have arranged a Travel Insurance Policy through Towergate Chapman Stevens that is underwritten by Optimum Underwriting Limited as underwriting agents for Groupama Insurance Company Limited (Towergate Chapman Stevens, Optimum Underwriting Limited & Groupama Insurance Company Limited are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority) thus providing first class security.

• MEDICAL HEALTH REQUIREMENTS. It is a condition of the David Urquhart Travel Insurance that at the time of taking out this policy and between that time and your departure date, you are not travelling against Medical Advice or for the purpose of receiving medical treatment.

• INSURANCE POLICY. This contains full details of the cover provided plus the conditions and exclusions which apply to it.

You must read the Insurance Policy carefully.

• CONDITIONS, EXCLUSIONS AND WARRANTIES. There are conditions and exclusions which apply to individual sections and general conditions, exclusions and warranties which apply to the whole Policy.

• FRAUDULENT CLAIMS. The making of fraudulent claims is a criminal offence.

• HEALTH. Refer to Medical Health Requirements as shown above.

• PREGNANCY. The Policy will not cover any claim arising from Pregnancy for travel within four (4) weeks of the estimated date of delivery.

• PERSONAL PROPERTY. If you are planning on taking items valued in excess of £200 such as photographic equipment, jewellery and other valuables with you, then you should make sure that you have adequate personal possessions cover under a Home Contents Insurance. Personal Property claims are paid based on the value of the goods at the time of loss and not on a ‘New for Old basis’ or replacement cost basis. A deduction will therefore be made for wear and tear and depreciation.

• DATE CHANGE EXCLUSION. Certain sections of your policy (refer to General Exclusions item 17) contain exclusions for losses arising from failure of equipment to correctly recognise the calendar date, such as the change to the year 2000.

• POLICY LIMITS. Most sections of the Policy have limits on the amount the Insurer will pay under that section. Some sections also have inner limits e.g. for one item, or for valuables in total.

• POLICY EXCESS. Claims under most sections of the Policy will be subject to an excess. Where there is an excess, you will be responsible for paying the first part of the claim.

• REASONABLE CARE. You are required to take all reasonable care to protect yourself and your property and to act as though you are not insured.

• COMPLAINTS. The Insurance Policy includes a complaints procedure which tells you what steps you can take if you wish to make a complaint. Please refer to the Policy Wording for full details.

• COOLING OFF PERIOD. The Policy contains a ‘cooling off period’ which allows you to return the Policy within 14 days of purchasing cover for a full refund if the cover is not suitable for your needs.

• HAZARDOUS ACTIVITIES. The Policy will not cover you when you are taking part in certain activities. Please refer to the Policy Wording for details of any particular exclusion.

• GOVERNING LAW. Your Policy is governed by English law.
