A1. Definitions

1. Some of the words you’ll see have very specific meanings, so please check out the ‘Oibooking dictionary’ at the end of these Terms.

A2. About these terms

1. When you complete your Booking, you accept these Terms and any other terms that you’re provided with during the booking process.
2. If anything in these Terms is (or becomes) invalid or, unenforceable:

it will still be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law

you will still be bound by everything else in the Terms.

3. These Terms are laid out like this:

Section A: general terms, for all types of Travel Experiences.

Sections B to F: specific terms, for just one type of Travel Experience:

Section B: Accommodations

Section C: Attractions

Section D: Car rentals

Section E: Flights

Section F: Private and Public Transport

If there’s any mismatch between general and specific terms, the specific terms will apply.

4. The English version of these Terms is the original. If there’s any dispute about the Terms, or any mismatch between the Terms in English and in another language, the Terms as they appear in English will apply. (You can change the language at the top of this page.)

A3. About Oibooking

1. When you book an accommodation, flight or attraction, Oibooking B.V. provides and is responsible for the Platform – but not the Travel Experience itself (see A4.4 below).
2. When you book a rental car, or private or public transport, Oibooking Transport Limited provides and is responsible for the Platform – but not the Travel Experience itself (see A4.4 below).
3. We work with companies that provide local support services (e.g. Customer Support or account management). They don’t:

control or manage our Platform

have their own Platform

have any legal or contractual relationship with you

provide Travel Experiences

represent us, enter into contracts or accept legal documents in our name

operate as our ‘process or service agents’.

A4. Our Platform

1. We take reasonable care in providing our Platform, but we can’t guarantee that everything on it is accurate (we get information from the Service Providers). To the extent permitted by law, we can’t be held responsible for any errors, any interruptions, or any missing bits of information – although we will do everything we can to correct/fix them as soon as we can.
2. Our Platform is not a recommendation or endorsement of any Service Provider or its products, services, facilities, vehicles, etc.
3. We’re not a party to the terms between you and the Service Provider. The Service Provider is solely responsible for the Travel Experience.
4. To make a Booking, you may need to create an Account. Please make sure all your info (including payment and contact details) is correct and up to date, or you might find you can’t access your Travel Experience(s). You’re responsible for anything that happens with your Account, so please don’t let anyone else use it, and please keep your username and password secret.
5. We will show you the offers that are available to you, in (what we think is) the right language for you. You can change to another language whenever you like.
6. Unless otherwise indicated, you need to be at least 16 to use the Platform.

A5. Our values

1. You will:

abide by Our values

comply with all applicable laws

cooperate with any anti-fraud/anti-money laundering checks we need to carry out

not use the Platform to cause a nuisance or make fake Bookings

use the Travel Experience and/or Platform for their intended purpose

not cause any nuisance or damage, and not behave inappropriately to the Service Provider’s personnel (or anyone else, for that matter).

A6. Prices

1. When you make a Booking, you agree to pay the cost of the Travel Experience, including any charges and taxes that may apply.
2. Some of the prices you see may have been rounded to the nearest whole number. The price you pay will be based on the original, ‘non-rounded’ price (although the actual difference will be tiny anyway).
3. Obvious errors and misprints are not binding. For example: if you book a premium car or a night in a luxury suite that was mistakenly offered for €1, we may simply cancel that Booking and refund anything you’ve paid.
4. A crossed-out price indicates the price of a like-for-like Booking without the price reduction applied (‘like-for-like’ means same dates, same policies, same quality of accommodation/vehicle/class of travel, etc.).

A7. Payment

1. For some products/services, the Service Provider will require an Upfront Payment and/or a payment taken during your Travel Experience.

If we organise your payment, we (or, in some cases, our affiliate in the country your payment originates from) will be responsible for managing your payment and ensuring the completion of your transaction with our Service Provider. In this case, your payment constitutes final settlement of the ‘due and payable’ price.

If the Service Provider charges you, this will usually be in person at the start of your Travel Experience, but it could also be (for example) that your credit card is charged when you book, or you pay when you check out of your Accommodation. This depends on the Upfront Payment policy of the Service Provider as communicated to you in the booking process.

2. If the Service Provider requires an Upfront Payment, it may be taken or pre-authorised when you make your Booking, and it may be non-refundable. So before you book, please check the Service Provider’s Upfront Payments policy (available during the booking process), which we don’t influence and aren’t responsible for.
3. If you know of or suspect any fraud or unauthorised use of your Payment Method, please contact your payment provider, who may cover any resulting charges, possibly minus an excess.
4. If the currency selected on the Platform isn’t the same as the Service Provider’s currency, we may:

show prices in your own currency

offer you the Pay In Your Own Currency option.

You’ll see our Currency Conversion Rate during checkout, in the Booking details of your Account, or (if you don’t have an Account) in the email we send you. If we charge you fees in connection with any such services, you’ll find the fee expressed as a percentage over European Central Bank rates. Your card issuer may charge you a foreign transaction fee.

5. We will store your Payment Method details for future transactions after collecting your consent.

A8. Policies

1. When you make a Booking, you accept the applicable policies as displayed in the booking process. You’ll find each Service Provider’s cancellation policy and any other policies (about age requirements, security/damage deposits, additional supplements for group Bookings, extra beds, breakfast, pets, cards accepted, etc.) on our Platform: on the Service Provider information pages, during the booking process, in the fine print, and/or in the confirmation email or ticket (if applicable).
2. If you cancel a Booking or don’t show up, any cancellation/no-show fee and any refund will depend on the Service Provider’s cancellation/no-show policy.
3. Some Bookings can’t be cancelled for free, while others can only be cancelled for free before a deadline.
4. If you book a Travel Experience by paying in advance (including all price components and/or a damage deposit if applicable), the Service Provider may cancel the Booking without notice if they can’t collect the balance on the date specified. If they do, any non-refundable payment you’ve made will only be refunded at their discretion. It’s your responsibility to make sure the payment goes ahead on time (that your bank, debit card or credit card details are correct, and that there’s enough money available in your account).
5. If you think you’re not going to arrive on time, please contact your Service Provider and tell them when they can expect you, so they don’t cancel your Booking. If you’re late, we are not liable for the consequences (e.g. the cancellation of your Booking, or any fees the Service Provider may charge).
6. As the person making the Booking, you are responsible for the actions and behaviour (in relation to the Travel Experience) of everyone in the group. You are also responsible for obtaining their permission before providing us with their personal data.

A9. Privacy and cookies

1. If you book an accommodation, flight, or attraction, please see our Privacy and Cookies Statement for more information on privacy, cookies, and how we might contact you and process personal data
2. If you book ground transport, please see the Rentalcars.com Privacy Statement, Cars.Oibooking Privacy Statement, or Taxi.Oibooking Privacy Statement as appropriate to find out how we process your personal data.

A10. Accessibility requests

1. If you have any accessibility requests:

about our Platform and/or services, please contact our Customer Service team

about your Travel Experience (wheelchair access, walk-in baths, etc.), please contact your Service Provider – or the airport, train station, etc.

A11. Insurance

1. If you have bought insurance through our Platform, please refer to the policy document(s) for the terms and for further information. These Terms do not apply to insurance.

A12. Genius

1. The Genius rate is a discounted rate offered by participating Service Providers for certain products/services.
2. Genius rates are for members of the Oibooking Genius programme. There are no membership fees, and it’s easy to become a member – just create an Account. Membership and rates are non-transferable. Membership is linked to a specific Account. Membership can also be linked to specific campaigns or incentives.
3. There are different ‘Genius Levels’, based on how many Accommodation Bookings you’ve made in a given period. Each level provides different travel rewards.
4. We may change any feature of the Genius programme, including the membership levels and the way the programme is structured.
5. For more details, visit https://www.Oibooking/genius.html.

A13. Rewards, Credits & Wallet

1. We may issue Rewards to you – at our sole discretion, and subject to (a) the terms here in A13 and (b) any Individual Reward Criteria that apply. If we make a clerical error (i) in calculating your Rewards or (ii) in converting currencies related to your Rewards, we can always change or correct any balances shown.
2. How to get Rewards. You might, for example, get a Reward by booking at a participating hotel, or by making a certain number of Bookings in a given time period. When a Reward is available, we’ll explain what the specific conditions are and how to use it.
3. Where to find your Rewards. Once you’ve received one or more Rewards, you’ll find a ‘Rewards and Wallet’ link in your Oibooking Account menu. Under the ‘Rewards’ tab, you’ll see all the Rewards you’ve earned, what actions (if any) still need to be taken to obtain the Reward(s), and any other terms and conditions.
4. Types of Rewards. Rewards give you (a) Credits in your Wallet or (b) something different (e.g. a Credit Card Cashback, or a voucher). We’ll explain each Reward at the appropriate time.
5. How to get Credits. Credits are usually issued as a result of getting a Reward. But we may issue Credits for other reasons – if your Travel Experience didn’t live up to our usual high standards, for example.
6. Where to find your Credits. Once you’ve received some Credits, you’ll find a ‘Rewards and Wallet’ link in your Oibooking Account menu. Under the ‘Wallet’ tab, you’ll see your total Credits balance (split into Travel Credits and Cash Credits, if you have both kinds). You’ll see when Credits were received or spent, and when they’ll expire. If you have Cash Credits, you’ll also see a link to cash them out.
7. Types of Credits. Travel Credits can only be spent on certain Travel Experiences. We’ll show you which Travel Experiences you can pay for with Travel Credits (which specific accommodations, attractions, car rentals, etc.). Cash Credits can be cashed out to your Payment Method (click ‘Withdraw Cash Credit’), or spent on any Travel Experience that you can pay for with Travel Credits.

Rewards

8. To receive any type of Rewards, you must, when qualifying for and using the Credits:

have an Account with us

be at least 18 years old

meet the Individual Reward Criteria

not violate the Rewards & Wallet Terms, and

have a valid credit card, to qualify for Credit Card Cashback Rewards.

9. When a Reward is available, the Individual Reward Criteria will explain how (and if) you can qualify for it. There may be:

time-sensitive restrictions (e.g. offers with expiry dates)

platform restrictions (e.g. promotional codes that can only be used in our app)

property restrictions (e.g. offers that can only be used with specific Service Providers)

a minimum spend (e.g. a Reward that you’ll only earn when you spend at least a certain amount on a Booking)

a maximum Reward value (for either monetary or non-monetary Rewards).

10. Rewards cannot be sold, encumbered or transferred in any way to a third party. In the event of an Account holder’s death, their Account will be closed and their Rewards (if any) will be cancelled.

Credits

11. You can put either Cash Credits or Travel Credits towards the cost of an eligible Travel Experience on a participating Platform (e.g. www.Oibooking or a Group Company website).
12. If that Travel Experience costs less than you have in Credits, your unused Credits will remain available in your Wallet.
13. If that Travel Experience costs more than you have in Credits, you must make up the rest of the cost in time, using another accepted Payment Method – or your purchase will be cancelled, and your Credits returned to your Wallet.
14. If you have various Credits with more than one expiration date, the Credits with the earliest expiration date will be used first.
15. If you cancel a Travel Experience that you’ve paid for (in part or in full) with Credits, the Service Provider’s cancellation policy will determine whether or not your money and/or Credits are refunded. Our Customer Service team will be able to refund any Credits that you may be entitled to.
16. You can cash out Cash Credits (but not Travel Credits) to a Payment Method.
17. Your Wallet’s default currency is determined by your location, residency or another currency we may elect. If you get any Credits or Credit Card Cashbacks in another currency, we’ll convert them to your default currency, or another currency we may elect, using our Currency Conversion Rate.
18. If a Reward was issued because you booked a Travel Experience, any associated Credits that haven’t been used will be deleted from your Wallet if that Travel Experience is cancelled.
19. We reserve the right to cancel any Reward that was obtained by fraud.
20. If you think you’ve not received a Reward that you should have, please contact our Customer Service team no more than 12 months after you did whatever it was that you believe qualified you for it. Please provide any supporting documentation you have. If you don’t do this within 12 months, you won’t be able to claim the Reward.
21. All Credits have an expiration date, which you’ll find in the ‘Credits’ section of your Wallet.

Wallet

22. All data, including personal data, will be processed in accordance with our privacy policy and applicable data protection laws and regulations. It will be shared with Group Companies or Service Providers as required by the Wallet programme. Lost, stolen or expired Rewards will not be replaced.
23. Your obligations:

You’re responsible for making sure that all information is (and stays) correct, complete and up to date

If we ask you for proof of ID, please provide it within 30 days

You’re responsible for keeping your Wallet sign-in details safe and secure.

24. If you don’t adhere to the rules in this section, we may automatically suspend or cancel your Wallet.
25. You may not use your Wallet or Rewards in any way that is misleading, unfair or harmful.
26. We may set off/settle any or all of your Credits against any claim we (or a Group Company) have against you. We may do this at any time, and without advance notice.
27. We may change, suspend or end any aspect of the Wallet, Rewards and Credits. In particular, we might change:

these Rewards & Wallet terms

which users we allow to have a Wallet

which Rewards or Credits we provide

the expiration dates of any Rewards or Credits

any Individual Reward Criteria.

28. We will make reasonable efforts to give you prior notice if we make any changes or stop providing Wallets altogether.
29. If we stop providing Wallets, all Credits and Rewards that haven’t expired will be valid for another 12 months.

A14. Intellectual property rights

1. Unless otherwise stated, all rights in our Platform (technology, content, trademarks, look & feel, etc.) are owned by Oibooking (or its licensors) and by using our Platform you agree to do so for its intended purpose only and respecting the conditions set out below in paragraphs A14.2 and A14.3.
2. You’re not allowed to monitor, copy, scrape/crawl, download, reproduce or otherwise use anything on our Platform for any commercial purpose without written permission of Oibooking or its licensors.
3. We keep a close eye on every visit to our Platform, and we’ll block anyone (and any automated system) we suspect of:

conducting an unreasonable amount of searches

using any device or software to gather prices or other information

doing anything that places undue stress on our Platform.

4. By uploading any picture to our Platform (with a review, for example), you’re confirming that it complies with our criteria and that:

it’s truthful (you haven’t altered the picture, for example, or uploaded a picture of a different property)

it doesn’t contain any viruses

you’re allowed to share it with us

we’re allowed to use it on our platform and in relation to further commercial purposes (including in a promotional context), everywhere, forever (when you let us know we can no longer use it we will consider any such reasonable request)

it doesn’t infringe the privacy rights of other people

you accept full responsibility for any legal claims against Oibooking related to it.

5. Just to make it clear: we’re not responsible and liable for any picture uploaded to our Platform, we’re allowed to remove any picture upon our discretion (for instance, if we detect that a picture does not meet the above criteria).

A15. What if something goes wrong?

1. If you have a query or complaint, please contact our Customer Service team. You can do this by accessing your Booking, or through our app, or through our Help Centre (where you’ll also find some useful FAQs). You can help us help you as quickly as possible – by providing:

your Booking confirmation number, your contact details, your PIN code (if you have one) and the email address you used when you made your Booking

a summary of the issue, including how you’d like us to help you

any supporting documents (bank statement, pictures, receipts, etc.)

2. All queries and complaints are recorded, and the most urgent ones are treated as highest priority.
3. If you’re a resident of the European Economic Area and you’re not happy with the way we handle your complaint, you may be able to complain via the European Commission’s ODR (Online Dispute Resolution) platform (ec.europa.eu/odr). It depends on what your complaint was about:

if it was about an accommodation, flight or attraction, you can use that ODR platform

if it was about ground transport, you can’t (because ground transport is booked with Oibooking Transport Limited, and the UK has left the EU).

4. If you’re a resident of the Czech Republic and you’re not happy with the way we handle your complaint, you can complain to the Czech Trade Inspection Authority – Central Inspectorate, ADR Department, registered office Štěpánská 15, Prague 2, postal code: 120 00, email: adr@coi.cz, https://www.coi.cz/informace-o-adr/.
5. If you’re a resident of Brazil and you’re not happy with the way we handle your complaint, you can complain via the Brazilian Federal Consumer Dispute Resolution Platform (consumidor.gov.br/).
6. We do try to resolve disputes internally, and we’re not obliged to submit to any alternative dispute resolution procedures handled by independent providers.

A16. Communication with the Service Provider

1. We may help you communicate with your Service Provider, but we can’t guarantee that they’ll read anything from you, or that they’ll do what you ask. In itself, the fact that you contact them, or that they contact you, doesn’t mean you have any grounds for legal action.

A17. Measures against unacceptable behaviour

1. We have the right to stop you making any Bookings, to cancel any Bookings you’ve already made, and/or to stop you using our Platform, our Customer Service, and/or your Account. Of course, we’ll only do this if, in our opinion, there’s a good reason to – for example:

fraud or abuse

non-compliance with Our values, or with applicable laws or regulations

inappropriate or unlawful behaviour (e.g. violence, threats or invasion of privacy) in relation to us, any of the companies we work with – or anyone else, for that matter.

2. If we cancel a Booking as a result, you won’t be entitled to a refund. We may tell you why we’ve cancelled your Booking, unless telling you would (a) contravene applicable laws and/or (b) prevent or obstruct the detection or prevention of fraud or other illegal activities. If you believe we have incorrectly cancelled your Booking, please contact our Customer Service team.

A18. Limitation of liability

1. To the extent permitted by mandatory consumer law, we’ll only be liable for costs you incur as a direct result of a failure on our behalf. This means, to the extent permitted by law, we won’t be liable for (e.g.) any:

indirect loss or indirect damage

inaccurate information about a Service Provider

product, service or action of a Service Provider or other business partner

mistake in an email address, phone number or credit card number (unless it’s our fault)

force majeure or event beyond our control.

2. If you are in breach of these Terms and/or the Service Provider’s terms, to the extent permitted by law:

we won’t be liable for any costs you incur as a result, and

you won’t be entitled to any refund.

3. To the extent permitted by law, the most that we, or any Service Provider, will be liable for (whether for one event or a series of connected events) is the cost of your Booking, as set out in your confirmation email.
4. Nothing in these terms will limit our (or the Service Provider’s) liability in respect of our (or their) own (i) negligence that leads to death or personal injury or (ii) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
5. We don’t make any promises about Service Providers’ products and services (apart from what we expressly state in these Terms). Making the right choice(s) is entirely your responsibility.
6. Just to make it clear: nothing in these Terms will entitle any third party other than the Service Provider to anything.
7. You may be protected by mandatory consumer protection laws and regulations, which guarantee you rights that no company’s terms can overrule. In that case, our liability is determined not just by these Terms, but also by any applicable consumer protection laws and regulations.

A19. Applicable law and forum

1. To the extent permitted by mandatory local (consumer) law, these Terms and our services will be governed by Dutch law (for accommodations, flights or attractions) or English law (for car rentals and private/public transport).
2. To the extent permitted by mandatory local (consumer) law, any dispute will exclusively be submitted to the competent courts in Amsterdam (for accommodations, flights or attractions) or England and Wales (for car rentals and private/public transport).

A20. Linked travel arrangements

1. If:

after selecting and paying for one travel service, you book additional travel services for your trip or holiday during the same visit to the Platform; or

you book additional travel services for your trip or holiday via a link provided to you by us not later than 24 hours after receiving confirmation of your initial Booking with us,

you will NOT benefit from rights applying to packages under the EU’s Directive (EU) 2015/2302 or the UK’s Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018 (together, the ‘Package Travel Requirements’). Therefore, we will not be responsible for the proper performance of those travel services. In case of problems, please contact the relevant Service Provider.

2. In either of these cases, the travel services will become part of a linked travel arrangement and not a package. In that case Oibooking has, as required by EU and UK law, protection in place to refund your payments to Oibooking for services not performed because of Oibooking’s insolvency. Please note that this does not provide a refund in the event of the insolvency of the relevant Service Provider.
3. Oibooking has voluntarily extended this insolvency protection to customers outside of the EU and UK who have booked multiple travel services via Oibooking that constitute Linked Travel Arrangements within the meaning of the Package Travel Requirements. This extension only applies to payments received by Oibooking.
4. Oibooking has taken out insolvency protection by way of a bank guarantee with Deutsche Bank administered by Sedgwick International UK for any monies paid directly to Oibooking.
5. Travellers may contact Sedgwick International UK (60 Fenchurch Street, London EC3M 4AD, the United Kingdom, tel. +44 207 530 0600, email: helpline@uk.sedgwick.com) if the services are denied because of Oibooking’s insolvency.
6. Note: This insolvency protection does not cover contracts with parties other than Oibooking, which can be performed despite Oibooking’s insolvency.
7. Please see Directive (EU) 2015/2302 as transposed into national law in the European Union or in the United Kingdom.

B2. Contractual relationship

B3. What we will do

B4. What you need to do

B5. Price and payment

B6. Amendments, cancellations and refunds

B7. What else do you need to know?

B1. Scope of this section

1. This section contains the specific terms for Accommodations products and services.

B2. Contractual relationship

1. When you make a Booking, it’s directly with the Service Provider. We’re not a ‘contractual party’ to your Booking.
2. Oibooking B.V. owns and operates the Platform.
3. Our Platform only shows Accommodations that have a commercial relationship with us, and it doesn’t necessarily show all their products or services.
4. Information about Service Providers (e.g. facilities, house rules and sustainability measures) and their Travel Experiences (e.g. prices, availability and cancellation policies) is based on what they provide to us. They’re responsible for making sure it’s accurate and up to date.

B3. What we will do

1. We provide the Platform on which Service Providers can promote and sell their Accommodations – and you can search for, compare and book them.
2. Once you’ve booked your Accommodation, we will provide you and the Service Provider with details of your Booking, including the names of the guest(s).
3. Depending on the terms of your Booking, we may be able to help you change or cancel it if you wish to.

B4. What you need to do

1. Fill in all your contact details correctly, so we and/or the Service Provider can provide you with information about your Booking and, if necessary, contact you.
2. Read these Terms and the terms displayed during the booking process carefully.
3. Take care of the Accommodation and its furniture, fixtures, electronics and other contents, and leave things in the same state they were when you got there. If anything is broken, damaged or lost, make sure you report it to the staff there (as soon as you can, and certainly before you check out).
4. Maintain the security of the Accommodation and its contents during your stay. So don’t, for example, leave doors or windows unlocked.

B5. Price and payment

1. See ‘Prices’ (A6) and ‘Payment’ (A7) above.

B6. Amendments, cancellations and refunds

1. See ‘Policies’ (A8) above.

B7. What else do you need to know?

We Price Match

1. We want you to get the best possible price every time. If, after you’ve booked your Accommodation with us, you find the same Accommodation (with the same conditions) for less on another website, we promise to refund the difference, subject to the We Price Match terms and conditions.

Partner offer

2. Some offers on our Platform are marked as ‘Partner offers’, which means they come to us through a Oibooking partner company, rather than straight from a Service Provider. Unless otherwise indicated, any Partner offer that you reserve:

Must be paid for at the time of booking

Can’t be modified. However, if it offers free cancellation, you will be able to cancel it for free, as long as you do it in time.

Can’t be combined with any other offers (promotions, incentives or rewards)

Can’t be scored or reviewed on our Platform.

Price incentives by Oibooking

3. Some of the price reductions you see are funded by us, not by the Service Provider. We simply pay some of the cost ourselves.

Damage policy

4. When you’re booking, you may see that some Service Providers refer to a ‘damage policy’. This means that if anyone in your group loses or damages anything:

you should inform the Service Provider

instead of charging you for it directly, the Service Provider will have 14 days to submit a damage payment request through our Platform, under your reservation number

if they do, we’ll tell you, so you can tell us if you have any comments, and whether or not you agree with the charge – and then:

if you agree, we’ll charge you on their behalf

if you disagree, we’ll look into it and decide whether or not to discuss it further*.

5. There’s a limit (which is shown while you’re booking) to how much the Service Provider can charge you under the damage policy through our Platform.
6. Any payment you make would be between the Service Provider and you – we’d just be organising it on the Service Provider’s behalf.
7. The damage policy doesn’t relate to general cleaning, ordinary wear and tear, any crimes (such as theft), or any non-physical ‘damages’ (e.g. fines for smoking or bringing pets).
8. The Service Provider might require a ‘damage deposit’ before or at check-in. If they do, we’ll tell you about it while you’re booking – but it has nothing to do with the ‘damage policy’. We won’t be involved in any financial settlement related to damage deposits.

* If there is any damage, the Service Provider can always decide to initiate a (legal) claim against you outside of the damage policy, in which case the limit (see 5 above) wouldn’t apply.

C2. Contractual relationship

1. We do not (re)sell, offer or provide any Attractions on our own behalf – when you book an Attraction, you enter into a contract directly with (a) the Service Provider or (b) a Third-Party Aggregator (if they’re reselling the Attraction), as disclosed during the booking process.

1. We provide the Platform on which Service Providers and (from time to time) Third-Party Aggregators can promote and sell Travel Experiences – and you can search for, compare and book them.
2. Once you’ve booked your Attraction, we’ll provide you and the Service Provider with details of the Booking; if the Service Provider needs more than your name, we’ll tell you at the time of booking.
3. Depending on the terms of your Booking, we may be able to help you change or cancel it if you wish to.

C4. What you need to do

1. You must fill in all your contact details correctly, so we and/or the Service Provider can provide you with information about your Booking and, if necessary, contact you.

D3. What we will do

D4. What you need to do

D5. Price and payment

D6. Amendments, cancellations and refunds

D7. What else do you need to know?

D1. Scope of this section

1. This section contains the specific terms for Car Rental products and services.

D2. Contractual relationship

1. When you book a Rental, your Booking is either (a) with us or (b) directly with the Service Provider. Either way:

our Terms govern the booking process; when we send you your Booking Confirmation, you’ll enter a contract with us

the Rental Agreement governs the Rental itself; when you sign this at the rental counter, you’ll enter a contract with the Service Provider (but you’ll see and accept the key terms of it while you’re booking your car).

2. In most cases, you’ll get your Booking Confirmation as soon as you complete your Booking – but if the Service Provider doesn’t confirm your Rental immediately, we won’t take payment or send you your Booking Confirmation until they’ve done so.
3. If there’s any mismatch between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will apply.

D3. What we will do

1. We provide the Platform on which Service Providers can promote and sell their Travel Experiences – and you can search for, compare and book them.
2. We don’t guarantee the precise make and model you’re booking (unless we expressly say so). The phrase ‘or similar’ means you could get a similar car (i.e. the same size, with the same kind of gearbox, etc.). So the car pictures are illustrative only.
3. Once you’ve booked your Rental:

we’ll give the Service Provider the Booking details (e.g. the Main Driver’s name and contact phone number)

we’ll provide you with Pick-up information (e.g. the Service Provider’s contact details, and details of what you need to take with you).

D4. What you need to do

1. You must provide all the information we need to arrange your Booking (contact details, Pick-up time, etc.).
2. You must read and agree to comply with these Terms and the Rental Agreement – and acknowledge that if you breach them:

you might have to pay additional charges

your Booking might be cancelled

the counter staff might refuse to hand over the keys at the rental counter.

3. You must check your Rental’s specific requirements, as many details (driving licence requirements, security deposit size, paperwork needed, payment cards accepted, etc.) vary per Rental. So please make sure you carefully read:

these Terms

the key terms of the Rental Agreement, which you’ll see while you’re booking, and

the Rental Agreement itself, which you’ll receive at Pick-up.

4. You must be at the rental counter by your Pick-up Time: if you’re late, the car may no longer be available, and you won’t be entitled to a refund. If you think you might be late, it’s vital that you contact the Service Provider or us, even if it’s because of a flight delay and you’ve provided your flight number.
5. The key terms of your Rental tell you what the Main Driver needs at Pick-up. You must ensure that when they get to the rental counter, they bring everything they need (e.g. driving licence, any required ID, and a credit card in their own name, with enough available funds to cover the security deposit).
6. You must make sure the Main Driver is both eligible and fit (in the Service Provider’s opinion) to drive the car.
7. You must have all the documents (such as ID, voucher and driving licence) that you need at Pick-up.
8. You must show the counter staff each driver’s full, valid driving licence, which they must have held for at least 1 year (or longer, in many cases). If any driver has endorsements/points on their licence, please let us know as soon as possible, as the Service Provider may not allow them to drive.
9. You must ensure that any driver with a driving licence issued in England, Scotland or Wales obtains a licence ‘check code’ no more than 21 days before Pick-up.
10. You must ensure that every driver has their own International Driving Permit (if they need one) as well as their driving licence. Note that all drivers must carry their driving licence (and International Driving Permit, if they need one) at all times.
11. You must ensure that every child has an appropriate child seat if they need one.
12. You must, if anything goes wrong during your Rental (accident, breakdown, etc.):

contact the Service Provider

not authorise any repairs without the Service Provider’s consent

keep all documentation (repair bills, police reports, etc.) to share with us / the Service Provider / an insurance company.

D5. Price and payment

1. Oibooking Transport Limited is the merchant of record for your Booking. For details of our payment process, please see ‘Payment’ (A7) above.

Additional costs and fees

2. In many cases, the Service Provider will charge a young driver fee for each driver under a certain age (e.g. 25). In some cases, they may charge a senior driver fee for each driver over a certain age (e.g. 65). When booking on our Platform, you must enter the Main Driver’s age, so we can show you details of any age-related fee(s) – which you would pay at Pick-up.
3. In many cases, the Service Provider will charge a one-way fee if you drop the car off at a different location. If you intend to do this, you need to enter the drop-off location while booking, so we can tell you if it’s possible, and show you details of any one-way fee – which you would pay at Pick-up.
4. In many cases, the Service Provider will charge a cross-border fee for taking the car to a different country/state/island. If you intend to do this, it’s vital you tell us and/or the Service Provider as soon as you can (it must be before Pick-up).
5. The price of your Rental is calculated based on 24-hour units, so (e.g.) a 25-hour rental will cost as much as a 48-hour rental.
6. If, after Pick-up, you decide you want to keep the car for longer, please contact the Service Provider. They’ll tell you how much this would cost, and you’ll enter a new contract with them directly. If you drop the car off late without agreeing this in advance, they may charge an additional fee as well.

Extras

7. In some cases, you’ll pay for any optional extras (child seats, GPS, winter tyres, etc.) when you book your car – in which case, you’re guaranteed to get them at Pick-up.
8. In other cases, you’ll merely request any extras when you book your car – in which case:

you’ll pay for them at Pick-up, and

the Service Provider doesn’t guarantee they’ll be available for you.

D6. Amendments, cancellations and refunds

1. We go above and beyond our legal obligations. Even though local laws don’t require us to offer specific cancellation rights, we guarantee that we will honour our refunds policy if you cancel your Booking.
2. The following ‘Cancellation and Amendments’ terms apply to all Bookings apart from:

Bookings with Dollar or Thrifty that were booked before 26 January 2021 (please check your rental terms)

Bookings that are labelled ‘non-refundable’ (you cannot amend a non-refundable Booking, and you won’t receive a refund if you cancel it).

Cancellations

3. If you cancel:

MORE THAN 48 hours before your rental is due to start, you’ll receive a full refund.

LESS THAN 48 hours before, or while you’re at the rental counter, we’ll refund what you paid minus the cost of 3 days of your rental – so there won’t be any refund if your car was booked for 3 days or less.

AFTER your rental is due to start (or you just don’t turn up) you’ll receive no refund.

4. The counter staff may refuse you the car if (for example):

You don’t arrive on time

You are not eligible to rent the car

You don’t have the documentation you need

The main driver doesn’t have a credit card in their own name, with enough available funds for the car’s security deposit.

If that happens, please call us from the rental counter to cancel your Booking, and you’ll receive a refund, minus the cost of 3 days of your rental. Otherwise, you won’t be entitled to a refund.

Amendments (changes to your Booking)

5. You can make changes to your Booking anytime before you’re due to pick the car up.
6. In most cases, the easiest way to do this is via our app – or our website (under ‘Manage Booking’).
7. There is no administration fee for changing your Booking, but any changes you make may affect the rental price. Sometimes, the only way we can change a Booking is to cancel it and make another one, in which case we may charge you a cancellation fee on the rental company’s behalf.
8. If changing your Booking would change the price or incur a cancellation fee, we will tell you in advance.

Changes made by us

9. If we/the Service Provider need to change your Booking (e.g. if the Service Provider can’t provide the car), we’ll tell you as soon as we can. If you don’t accept that change, you’ll be entitled to cancel and claim a full refund (no matter how close the start of your Rental is) but we will have no additional liability for any direct or indirect costs you may incur (e.g. hotel rooms or taxis).

D7. What else do you need to know?

General

1. In all cases, drivers must be at least a minimum age to rent or drive a car. In some cases, they must also be below a maximum age. The limit(s) can vary by Service Provider, by location and by type of car.
2. Only eligible drivers whose names appear on the Rental Agreement may drive the car.
3. You must not take the car to a different country/state/island and/or drop it off at a different location without arranging this in advance.

Late Pick-up/early drop-off

4. If you pick your car up later (please see D4.4 above) or drop it off earlier than agreed in your Booking Confirmation, the Service Provider will not refund you for the ‘unused’ time.

E3. What we will do

E4. What you need to do

E5. Price and payment

E6. Amendments, cancellations and refunds

E7. What else do you need to know?

E1. Scope of this section

1. This section contains the specific terms for Flights products and services.

E2. Contractual relationship

1. Most Flights on our Platform are provided via a Third-Party Aggregator, which acts as an intermediary to the airline(s).
2. When you make a Booking, it’s directly with the airline. We’re not a ‘contractual party’ to your Booking. When booking, you enter into (i) an Intermediation Contract with the Third-Party Aggregator (for the ticket) and (ii) a Contract of Carriage with the airline (for the Flight itself).
3. If you book any extras (additional baggage, insurance, etc.), you’ll enter into a direct contract with the Third-Party Aggregator or another company. We will not be involved in this contract.
4. We act solely as the Platform and are not involved in the Third-Party Terms. We are not responsible for your ticket or any extras you may buy and (to the fullest extent permitted by law) have no liability to you in relation to your Booking.

E3. What we will do

1. We provide the Platform on which Service Providers can promote and sell their Travel Experiences and you can search for, compare and book them.
2. Once you’ve booked your Flight, your Booking details (e.g. the names of the traveller(s)) will be provided to the Service Provider.
3. Depending on the Contract of Carriage, we may be able to help you change or cancel your Booking if you wish to.

E4. What you need to do

1. You must fill in all your contact details correctly, so we and/or the Service Provider can provide you with information about your Booking and, if necessary, contact you.
2. You must read and agree to comply with our Terms and the Third-Party Terms (which will be displayed at checkout) – and acknowledge that breaching them may lead to additional charges and/or the cancellation of your Booking.

E5. Price and payment

1. When you book a Flight, your payment will be organised by us, by the Third-Party Aggregator (or a party specified by them), or by a third party such as an airline. For details of how we organise payments (including the related rights and obligations) please see ‘Payment’ (A7) above.

E6. Amendments, cancellations and refunds

1. You’ll find the cancellation policy in the Contract of Carriage, which is available while you’re booking your Flight.
2. There may be a fee for changing or cancelling your Flight.
3. Airlines reserve the right to reschedule or cancel flights at their discretion.
4. Different tickets from the same airline may have different restrictions or include different services.
5. If you have any questions about changes, cancellations or refunds, please contact our Customer Service team.

E7. What else do you need to know?

Code share

1. Some airlines have ‘code share’ agreements with other airlines. So you may buy your ticket from one airline (your ‘ticketing carrier’), but fly in a plane that’s owned by another airline (your ‘operating carrier’). In most cases like this, you will check in with your operating carrier – but please confirm this with your ticketing carrier ahead of time.
2. While you’re booking your Flight, you’ll be informed if it’s a ‘code share’ Flight.

Airline prohibited practices

3. Most airlines don’t allow people to buy tickets that include flights they don’t intend to use – for example, a round-trip ticket if the person doesn’t intend to use the return flight. For more examples, just enter “point-beyond ticketing”, “hidden-city ticketing” or “back-to-back ticketing” into a search engine.
4. When you purchase a Flight, you agree not to do this, and to indemnify us against any airline claims for any difference between the cost of your actual journey and the cost of the full journey specified on your ticket(s).

Use of flight segments

5. Most airlines require customers to use their flights in order. So if you don’t take your first Flight, your airline may automatically cancel the rest of your itinerary.
6. If your airline does allow you to ‘skip’ any Flights in your itinerary, please make sure you cancel the Flight(s) you don’t want, in line with the cancellation policy. Note that you may not be entitled to a full refund (or any refund) for these unused Flights.

One-way tickets

7. If you buy two one-way tickets rather than a single round-trip ticket:

you’ll be making two separate Bookings, each with its own rules and policies

any changes to one Flight will not affect the other (for example, if your initial Flight is cancelled, you won’t be guaranteed a refund for your second Flight).

8. If you’re travelling abroad, you may need to prove to the Check-in and/or Immigration staff that you have a return Flight (see ‘International travel’ below for more on passports, visas, etc).

Charges, taxes and fees

9. Your fare will include any taxes and fees charged by an airline or government (except entry/exit fees – see ‘Entry/exit fees’ below). You may be responsible for dealing with any retroactive change in the tax rate.

Service fees

10. Depending on which Flight you choose, you may be charged a service fee by us and/or the Third-Party Aggregator.

Our service fee (if any) is a fee for using our Platform so you can buy a ticket from a Third-Party Aggregator. This fee includes any applicable VAT/GST/similar taxes.

The Third-Party Aggregator’s service fee (if any) is a fee for using them as intermediary to the airline(s). This fee may include any applicable VAT/GST/similar taxes.

11. The price of your ticket will include any service fee(s).

Fees for baggage and other extras

12. Your airline may charge for checked baggage, excess/overweight baggage, priority boarding, allocated seating, onboard entertainment, food and drink and/or airport check-in.
13. If they do, the charge(s) will be on top of the price of your ticket (unless it’s expressly stated that your Flight included the extra(s)).

International travel

14. It’s your responsibility to:

carry a valid passport and/or visa if required

comply with any entry requirements

find out if you need a visa to pass through a country that isn’t your final destination

check with the relevant embassy in advance to see if there’s been any change in passport, visa or entry requirements

review any warnings or advice from your country of residence/origin before you go to/through a country or region.

15. By arranging travel to or from any location, we are not guaranteeing that it is without risk – and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any resulting damages or losses.
16. It’s not a common practice, but international law allows ‘disinsection’ of aircraft to kill insects. To do this, personnel might spray the aircraft’s cabin with an aerosolised insecticide while passengers are on board, or treat its interior surfaces with a residual insecticide while they’re not on board. Before you travel, we advise you to find out about disinsection, including where it might happen.

Entry/exit fees

17. Your fare will not include any fee that a country or airport charges people entering/leaving the country and that is collected directly at the airport. Before you travel, we advise you to find out if you’ll have to pay this kind of fee.

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

We can’t guarantee they’ll be able to reach you through messaging applications such as WhatsApp or Viber.
6. Pre-Booked Private Transport. For any airport pick-up, you must give us your flight details at least 24 hours before your Pick-up Time, so your Service Provider can adjust the Pick-up Time if your flight is delayed.

1. Oibooking Transport Limited is the merchant of record for your Booking. For details of our payment process, please see ‘Payment’ (A7) above.
2. Pre-Booked Private Transport. Price includes any tolls, congestion charges, taxes and peak surcharges. Payment is taken at the time of booking.

F6. Amendments, cancellations and refunds

Cancellation

1. In most cases…

Pre-Booked Private Transport. You can cancel for free up to 24 hours before your Pick-Up Time (2 hours in some cases – please see your confirmation). If you don’t cancel on time, you won’t be entitled to a refund.

On-Demand Private Transport. You can cancel anytime before your Pick-Up Time, but the Service Provider may charge you a cancellation fee.

Public Transport. You probably won’t be entitled to a refund once your Booking is confirmed. If your plans change, please contact our Customer Service team to discuss any options that might be available.

2. If your Service Provider has a different cancellation policy (which you’ll see while booking), their policy will apply instead.
3. We and/or the Service Provider may cancel the Booking with little or no notice – but this would only happen in very specific situations. For example, if:

the Service Provider becomes insolvent or is genuinely unable to honour your Booking – in which case we’ll do our best to arrange alternative transport (and we’ll refund you in full if we can’t)

you are in breach of these Terms and/or the Service Provider’s terms – in which case you won’t be entitled to any refund.

Amendments (changes) before your Journey begins

4. Pre-Booked Private Transport. Your confirmation email will tell you how much notice you need to give (ahead of your Pick-up Time) to request any changes to your Booking (such as location or time).
5. On-Demand Private Transport. To change your Booking, you may need to cancel it (which might incur a cancellation fee) and make a new one.
6. Public Transport. You cannot change your Booking once it’s confirmed.
7. If we/the Service Provider need to change your Booking (for example, if there’s a strike that interferes with your journey), we’ll tell you as soon as we can. If you then decide to cancel:

Any Transport. Unless you cancel for one of the reasons in the next bullet, you’ll be entitled to a full refund (no matter how close your journey is).

Any Private Transport. If the change is simply a new driver, a new Service Provider, or a new (similar) vehicle, you won’t be entitled to a refund (unless you’re cancelling with enough notice).

Either way, neither we nor the Service Provider will be liable for any costs you may incur (e.g. alternative transport or hotel rooms).

Refunds

8. If you wish to apply for a refund, you must do so in writing no more than 14 days after your Pick-up Time.
9. Any refund may take up to 5 working days to arrive in your account.
10. All Private Transport. If your driver isn’t at the pick-up location on time, you can apply for a refund, and we’ll investigate this for you.
11. All Private Transport. You won’t be entitled to a refund if your Journey doesn’t go ahead as planned because:

the driver/Service Provider can’t contact you

one or more passengers isn’t at the pick-up location on time, and you haven’t requested a new Pick-up Time

you request unreasonable changes to the Pick-up Time or Journey

you don’t tell us / the Service Provider / the driver about a change you want to make

you’d provided incorrect details when booking your Private Transport (pick-up location, contact details, number of people, amount of luggage, etc.)

of something that one or more passengers did/didn’t do.

F7. What else do you need to know?

Pre-Booked Private Transport

1. Please check your confirmation email to see how long the driver will wait at the pick-up location.

On-Demand Private Transport

2. The driver may not wait beyond the Pick-up Time – and if they do, they may charge you for the time spent waiting. If you aren’t at the pick-up location on time, you may be charged a cancellation fee.

Repair or cleaning charges

3. If anything needs to be repaired or cleaned because someone in your group has done something unreasonable or is in breach of these terms, you will be responsible for the cost of repairs/cleaning.
