These terms:

These terms represent the contract between you and 2 Wheel Travel. Before travelling with us you should read these terms and sign the agreement on our booking form.

Where 2 Wheel Travel act as direct agents for operators we cannot be held liable for any actions taken by such operators beyond our control and outside the boundaries of our contract with them. Where contracted operators are used on your chosen tour you are responsible to read and agree to the terms of their contract also. These will be given to you upon request.

Where a tour involves flight transfer  to the tour start point 2 Wheel Travel will act as agents for the ATOL holder and as such will pass on all flight responsibilities to that licensee.

Where 2 Wheel Travel Ltd. are the tour operators, providing 2 or more elements of the package, all monies paid will be held in trust for the duration of the tour and only released 24 hours after the end of the tour. Furthermore in compliance with the Package tour regulations 1993 your tour will be protected from insolvency of the operator through this scheme. 

Price:

All prices quoted are guide prices only, because of the number of variants, advance notice and changes in exchange rates. If you are interested in a particular tour, please contact us and we will provide an up to date cost for your chosen tour. This cost will be guaranteed and we will absorb any rise in outside rates up to 2%. Any rise above this will be relayed to you and you will have the option to meet the rise, choose a different tour at similar cost or cancel completely in which case we will give a full refund, this will represent full settlement.

Booking:

Upon receipt of your completed booking form and deposit we will send you a booking confirmation as an invoice detailing when the balance is to be paid. Usually 8-12 weeks prior to departure. Failure to pay the sum by the due date will result in cancellation and no refund will be made.

Cancellations:

By You:

Refunds are payable only under the following terms:

Where the client pays the full amount up front:

We recommend that you take out holiday insurance at the onset of booking to cover against cancellation or curtailment, we can offer such a policy to you at the time of your booking.

By us:

Due to insufficient numbers and some unforeseen reasons it is sometimes necessary to cancel a pre planned tour. In this event we will notify you immediately the decision is taken.

You will in some cases be given the option to pay a supplemental charge to cover the shortfall and with your agreement the tour will proceed as planned. In other cases or if you decide not to take the aforementioned option you will be given a full refund of all monies paid to us. This will represent full settlement.

We will not be liable for any monies paid to other parties for items pertaining to the tour, this may include, but is not limited to, purchase of items intended for use on tour, pre paid airline/ferry tickets, supplemental items not referred to in the tour itinerary, etc.

Again we strongly recommend you take out adequate holiday travel insurance to cover these eventualities and we can offer you such policies at the time of your booking. Once you have begun the tour, i.e. left home, any cancellation or curtailment on your part for whatever reason will result in the total loss of all monies paid.
