  • To make a reservation, the client should complete, and sign the booking form, and return it together with the initial non-refundable Rental deposit of 25% of the total letting fee. Following our receipt of this, we will send a confirmation letter, which is a formal acceptance of your booking.

The Client will remain liable for the balance of the hire, unless; the owner is able to re-let the property. In this event, clause #5 of these conditions apply. Reservations made within 8 weeks of the start date for the letting, require payment in full, at the time of booking.
  • The security / damage deposit cheque of £100 for the whole period of hire, is required along with the balance. The sum reserved by this clause does not limit the Clients liability to the owner.

A credit note will be presented to the client, accompanying the refunded security.

The client is strongly recommended to take out a comprehensive travel insurance policy to include cancellation cover and to have cover for the client’s vehicle (recovery / breakdown) while travelling on the continent. Personal belongings and public liability insurance is not covered by the owners insurance, so it may be wise, not to overlook these small matters which all go to providing peace of mind while away from home.
