DEPARTURE INFORMATION & INSURANCE
SEAT ALLOCATION
We will do our best to satisfy any particular seating requests you may have. Please bear in mind that as seats are allocated on a first come, first served basis, early booking is advisable. There are no allocated seats on the feeder coaches we operate at the beginning and end of a tour.
LUGGAGE
We ask you to restrict your luggage to one medium sized suitcase per person. A small holdall can also be taken on board the coach.
WHEELCHAIRS/MOBILITY SCOOTERS
We will carry folding wheelchairs in the luggage compartment, but space restrictions mean that we can only carry two per tour. It is important to advise us of this requirement when you book. We can carry small, lightweight scooters/buggies by prior arrangement, but we cannot carry the large ones. Passengers needing these should consider hiring them at the destination.
TRAVEL DOCUMENTS
Your travel documents will be sent to you (or your Travel Agent) approximately 14 days prior to departure. Please note that items such as ferry tickets are usually held by the driver. Please ensure your Passport is valid for travel to your chosen destination.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS/DIETS
If you require a special diet you must inform us at the time of booking with a copy of the diet. We will transmit these to the various hotels but, depending on the requirement, if any additional payment is required for the provision of such a diet, you will be liable to settle this directly with the hotel. Similarly any other special requests will be passed on to the hotel and we will do our utmost to ensure they are met. We cannot accept any booking however which is conditional upon our compliance with a particular request. If you are in any doubt then please talk to one of our Reservations staff prior to confirming your booking.
EUROPEAN HEALTH INSURANCE CARD EHIC
The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) entitles you to free or reduced cost medical treatment if you become ill or have an accident in any EU country (includes Switzerland). To obtain the card which is free, you can apply at a Post Office or online at www.dh.gov.uk/travellers. The card does not take the place of normal travel insurance, and it is advisable for travellers to have both.
COACH HOLIDAY TRAVEL INSURANCE
We strongly recommend all clients arrange travel insurance. For your protection and peace of mind we have arranged a Special Coach Holiday Travel Insurance Scheme with ETI International Travel Protection who are authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority.
DEMANDS AND NEEDS
