before using Benz Travel's website (Site) and making any
booking.
You consent to the Terms and Conditions when you use the Site,
without qualification. If you disagree with any part of the Terms
and Conditions, you may not use the Site in any way or make a
booking.
All correspondence regarding customer service or your booking
should be sent

| 1.
Your Contract |
A 'booking' means any order for
products or services you make on our Site which is accepted by us.
Acceptance will be made by Benz Travel (and a contract concluded)
when we have received full payment from you and sent a confirmation
email (from either Benz Travel or the relevant Travel Supplier).
All travel products and services featured on the Site are subject
to availability.
Benz Travel offers many different products and the specific terms
and conditions relating to your booking depend on whether you book
a Flight+Hotel Package, a combination of products as a DIY Package,
or any Other Product:
(a) A Flight+Hotel Package is entered into when
you book a Flight+Hotel product via Benz Travel and where you are
quoted one inclusive price. When you book a Flight+Hotel Package
holiday, your contract is with Benz Travel Limited (ATOL 3448). For
terms and conditions specific to Flight+Hotel Packages only see
Section 4 below;
(b) A 'DIY Package' is booked when you put
together two or more different types of products on our Site
yourself (eg (i) transport (ii) accommodation or (iii) other
tourist service which forms a significant part of your booking) and
where you book these products at the same time, for one total
price. Where you book a DIY Package holiday, Benz Travel is acting
as agent for the third party suppliers such as airlines, hotels,
insurance and car rental companies, package holiday suppliers and
others (Travel Supplier). When you make a booking via the Site, and
your preferred travel product or service is available, the contract
will be between the Travel Supplier and you>. Benz Travel is not
a party to the contractual relationship;
(c) 'Other Products' are those separate products -
eg flights and hotels purchased and paid for at different times,
and holidays packaged by another supplier. Where you book any other
Product, Benz Travel is acting as agent for third party suppliers
such as airlines, hotels, insurance and car rental companies,
package holiday suppliers and others (Travel Supplier). When you
make a booking via the Site, and your preferred travel product or
service is available, the contract will be between the Travel
Supplier and you. Benz Travel is not a party to the contractual
relationship.
BENZ TRAVEL STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU TAKE OUT INSURANCE FOR ANY
HOLIDAY, ESPECIALLY AS THERE MAY BE CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE NEITHER
BENZ TRAVEL OR THE TRAVEL SUPPLIER CAN ACCEPT LIABILITY (EG DELAYS
OR CANCELLATIONS BEYOND OUR CONTROL).
Travel Suppliers
Except for the sale of Flight+Hotel Package holidays, Benz Travel
acts as disclosed Agent for third party suppliers and for the
purposes of these terms and conditions tour operators, hotels,
hotel chains and hotel aggregators, insurance and car suppliers,
plus all airlines, shall be included in the term 'Travel Supplier'.
In these cases your contract is between you and the Travel
Supplier
Benz Travel does not assume any responsibility for the travel
products and services provided by the Travel Supplier and makes no
representations or warranties (express or implied) about the
suitability or quality of travel products and services featured on
the Site.
Travel Supplier Conditions
The following applies to all products or services booked via our
Site:
The Travel Supplier's terms and conditions (including airlines'
terms and conditions of carriage) will apply in addition to those
set out here. The Travel Supplier's terms and conditions may
include provisions relating to payment procedures, default,
liability, cancellations, changes of bookings and refunds (if
available) and any other restrictions.
You are responsible for complying with any airline or other Travel
Supplier conditions in relation to check-in times, reconfirmation
of flights, or other matters.
Flights
In particular, please note that in relation to air fares there are
additional terms specific to that fare. For example, 'economy
restricted' tickets are normally non-changeable and non-refundable.
Flights must be used in the order set out in your itinerary - eg a
failure to use the outbound flight or first stage of a journey
could invalidate the rest of the ticket.
Please note that, in relation to flight tickets, the recommended
minimum check-in time is 120 minutes prior to departure for
international flights and 90 minutes for domestic flights. Some
airlines require you to reconfirm your return flight booking at
least 72 hours before travel. Failure to reconfirm your flight
booking directly with the airline may result in cancellation.
In addition, the majority of airlines reserve the right to make
schedule changes and cancel confirmed bookings. While Benz Travel,
as Agent, is not responsible for such schedule changes or
cancellations, we will provide you with any reasonable assistance
you require via our customer services.
We strongly recommend (particularly if you are flying economy
class), that you check in early if you have particular seat
requests. Benz Travel has no control over the allocation of seats,
even if pre-booked with the airline, and can make no guarantee that
specific seats will be available on departure.
Benz Travel is not responsible for the costs of any transfers
between airports or terminals that you may incur.
Flights priced at special fares or best prices may not take the
most direct route. Some itineraries require a change of aircraft
en-route. A flight that is described as direct is one where there
is no need to change aircraft during the journey. However, stops
may be made en-route for re-fuelling or to let passengers on and/or
off. Details of any stops will be given during your booking process
and are clearly identified both on the Site and on your itinerary
which will be sent to you when you confirm your booking.
The times given are given on the 24 hour clock system, approximate
and based on outbound flights. They may vary depending on flight
schedules, type of aircraft, weather conditions etc., and are
indications of the hours spent actually flying (excluding time on
the ground during stops en-route or when changing aircraft) and are
therefore given for guidance only and are subject to alteration and
confirmation.
Regulations vary with each airline, but some will refuse to carry
women who will be 28 weeks or more pregnant on the date of return
travel. If in doubt, please check with the airline concerned and
consult your doctor. Infants must be 6 weeks old or more to travel
by air and must either sit on an adult's lap or occupy an infant
seat. Please contact the airline you are travelling with for
details of appropriate seats. Generally children aged 2 years or
more must occupy a seat.
Hotels and other Accommodation
We acquire hotel and accommodation star ratings from a variety of
sources and offer them as a general guide. However, these are not
necessarily the official local rating and you should be aware that
standards can vary between hotels and accommodation of the same
class in different countries, and even in the same country.
Different countries have different standards; a 3 star hotel in one
country is not necessarily equivalent to a 3 star hotel in
another.
Many hotels and other accommodation, especially in cities and major
resorts, accommodate conventions and conferences. Also, at certain
times of the year, some destinations have an influx of groups such
as students, associations or clubs. We do not have exclusive use of
the properties featured on the Site. The hotels we feature are
shared with guests from many countries with different cultures and
customs and of mixed age groups.
Check-in / Checkout times - Generally guests can
check into a hotel or other accommodation around 3pm and check out
at 11am, local time. However, local variances may apply. Should you
require more precise timings, please contact Benz Travel Customer
Services for additional information.
Images - Whilst we endeavour to ensure that
property images displayed on Benz Travel are an accurate and up to
date representation of the properties, we cannot guarantee this
always to be the case. The images are provided to give a general
'feel' for the hotel.
Amenities, facilities and descriptions - Whilst we
endeavour to ensure that property amenities, facilities and
descriptions offer accurate and up to date information, we obtain
this information from our Travel Suppliers and so cannot guarantee
this always to be the case. The information is provided to give a
general 'feel' for the property.
Extra Beds and Cots - There may be an additional
charge for extra beds or cots, please contact Benz Travel Customer
Services for additional information.
Breakfast is not included unless otherwise stated. Some hotels may
charge additional local taxes.
Car rental
Customers renting a vehicle for pick up in any country
outside the European Union (EU) must be an EU resident and must
present a full, valid GB or EC/EEA licence at the time of pick up.
Failure to meet any of these requirements will invalidate your car
rental.
General
As part of the booking process for flight tickets or hotels you are
given the option to enter the details of any relevant frequent
flyer programme of which you are a member. Please note that any
such frequent flyer programme is subject to the terms and
conditions of the airline through which it is offered. Those terms
and conditions may not give rewards on all types of fare and class
of service. Please contact the airline or hotel in charge of your
frequent flyer or hotel loyalty programme if you are unsure of its
terms and conditions. Please note that our Travel Suppliers have
their own rules and regulations with regard to loyalty cards. If
you have any questions, please contact them directly.
In relation to the 'special requests' options relating to any
product (e.g. meals, disabled facilities, child seats etc.), Benz
Travel does not guarantee any such requests but will pass these
requests on to the Travel Supplier/hotel. It is your responsibility
to confirm with the Travel Supplier or hotel whether such special
requests can be fulfilled. |
|
| 2. Delivery of Your Booking |
The following applies to
all products or services booked via our Site:
E-tickets
During the booking process, you will be given the choice of
e-ticket or paper ticket. Please note that airlines have their own
rules and regulations with regard to e-ticketing. Benz Travel
cannot be held responsible for non-compliance with these rules and
regulations and strongly recommends that you check these details
with your airline in advance of travel.
Ticket Delivery
Benz Travel rely on the information that you provide as being
accurate and therefore cannot be held responsible if your paper
tickets are lost due to an incorrect address or your e-ticket does
not arrive due to an incorrect email address or your junk email
settings. You must notify us immediately if you change your email
address or contact telephone number. In addition, please check that
the name on your passport matches the name on your ticket and/or
booking confirmation.
Please note that Benz Travel does not deliver paper tickets outside
the UK. Also, if you have any special delivery requirements (such
as flats with security gates) then you should advise us of this
immediately after booking. It is your responsibility to advise us
if you have not received your tickets. If you hold any other
booking, either with Benz Travel or another agent, then it is your
responsibility to advise us that you need tickets from us by a
certain time. Benz Travel would recommend that you do this before
completing the booking. This will help us decide if express
delivery is required.
Please note that some airlines may apply a charge and follow a
specific procedure for the re-issue of lost tickets or tickets
delayed in the post. This charge and procedure will vary depending
on what airline you are travelling with.
Royal Mail 1st Class Delivery of Tickets
If you do not receive your tickets within 7 working days of your
booking confirmation email, please contact us - but not before,
unless your departure is within this time. Please note that if you
opt for this delivery method and tickets are lost in the post then
you will be responsible for any costs involved in re-issuing the
tickets.
Royal Mail Special Next Day Delivery
As Royal Mail guarantee delivery by 12:00 the following day
we would ask that you contact our call centre within 72 hours of
your confirmation email if you have still not received tickets -
but not before. Failure to contact within this 72 hour timeframe
may result in costs from the airline which you would be responsible
for paying
In exceptional circumstances, Benz Travel may not be able to issue
airline tickets for confirmed bookings due to ticketing
restrictions outside its control. If this occurs we will attempt to
notify you within 24 hours of confirmation and organise a refund or
arrange an alternative. Where you choose an alternative and it is
more expensive than your original booking, you may be responsible
for paying the difference.
Please note that you may be required to produce your booking number
and/or confirmation email to the relevant Travel Supplier as
evidence of your booking.
|
| 3. Cancellations or Modifications by you to your
Booking |
The following applies to all
products or services booked via our Site:
Your ability to cancel or modify a booked travel product or
service, and the method for doing so, will depend on the specific
Travel Supplier's or hotel's terms and conditions. It therefore may
not be possible to cancel or modify some products or services or
there may be specific requirements you will have to meet.
For flight bookings, car rental and insurance, you can possibly
cancel or modify your booking by telephoning the Benz Travel call
centre on +44 (0) 871 472 5300 (10 pence per minute from BT
landlines (different charges apply to other telephone providers -
please contact your operator for details.
In some circumstances, Benz Travel or the Travel Supplier may be
unable to cancel or modify a travel product or service unless we
receive a written request together with payment of any extra fees
and associated charges. Please note that, in relation to flights, a
'no-show' for a flight may result in your ticket being cancelled by
the airline and therefore not refundable. Consequently, if you
desire to change a flight booking close to the departure time, we
strongly recommend that you phone The Wise Miser and obtain written
email confirmation to that change before electing not to travel on
the original flight. For car rental, if you fail to cancel your
reservation prior to the pick-up time and do not collect the
vehicle on the pick-up date, or of you fail to comply with the
pick-up terms (see car supplier terms and conditions), Benz Travel
reserves the right to make a 'no-show' charge of 100% of the total
car rental booking value.
In the event that you make any alteration to your booking
(including, but not limited to, cancellations, refunds, amendments
and name changes), Benz Travel reserves the right to charge you an
administration fee of £25 GBP per person to cover the
administration costs incurred by Benz Travel. These charges do not
include any charges imposed directly by the Travel Supplier or
hotel. Credit card fees, booking fees and any fees paid for
delivery of paper tickets are non-refundable in the event of
cancellation.
|
| 4. Terms and Conditions relating
Exclusively to Flight+Hotel Packages |
All Flight+Hotel Packages
provided by Benz Travel are ATOL protected (No.3448) under a
licence from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). This means that
you are protected in the unlikely event of Benz Travel's insolvency
in that the CAA will ensure that you are not stranded abroad and
arrangements will be made to refund any money you have paid to us
for an advance booking.
These terms and conditions will be subject to the specific
Flight+Hotel Package terms and conditions which must be accepted by
you prior to making your booking.
Changes to or Cancellation of your Flight+Hotel Package by
Benz Travel
Benz Travel reserves the right to make changes to your Flight+Hotel
Package where such changes are occasioned by one of its Travel
Suppliers, for instance an airline cancelling a flight or route. We
will notify you as soon as we can, if there is time before your
departure. Your confirmation will show you the planned timings as
of the date of the confirmation.
If you are notified of any Major Changes to your Flight+Hotel
Package after we have confirmed your booking but before you travel,
you can either accept these new arrangements or cancel your
Flight+Hotel Package and receive a full refund from Benz
Travel.
Major Changes shall include: a change in your departure or arrival
flight by more than 12 hours; a change in the length of your
holiday; or a change in the airport you depart or arrive from
(except where the airports are in the same cities), a change of
accommodation to a lower standard or to a different resort,
cancellation of a tour.
In any event, and subject to events outside our
control described below, we will pay you the following
compensation:
| Period before departure^ when a cancellation or Major Change
is notified to you by Benz Travel |
Compensation per adult* where alternative is
chosen |
Cancellation of your holiday by Benz Travel |
| 60 days or more |
NIL |

£50 |
100% of holiday + £50 |
* For children invoiced at reduced rates, compensation will be
paid on a pro-rata basis of the adult rate. ^ The departure date is
excluded when calculating the relevant period.
Benz Travel will not be liable to you for any compensation if
forced to cancel or make any changes to your Flight+Hotel Package
as a result of events outside our control and which neither or Benz
Travel or its Travel Suppliers could reasonably foresee. Events
outside our control include: war; threats of war; terrorism; riots;
civil unrest; natural and nuclear disasters; actual or potential
weather conditions; health risks; industrial disputes; technical
problems with transport; closed or congested airports; and any
other similar events.
Where as a result of such an event occurring after your departure a
significant part of your Flight+Hotel Package cannot be provided,
you will be offered a suitable alternative if available. If a
suitable alternative is not available, or for good reasons, you do
not accept the offered alternative, we will return you to your
place of departure. Again we would strongly recommend that you take
out comprehensive insurance to cover such circumstances.
|
| 5. Payment |
Full payment for all Flight+Hotel
Packages, air, insurance products and car rental (other than car
rental pay-on-arrival bookings) is required at the time of booking.
Please note that additional charges may be payable for car rental
(eg optional insurance, additional drivers, mileage) as further set
out in the specific car rental terms and conditions.
The timing and collection of payment for hotels depends on each
individual hotel's terms and conditions. The timing of payment will
normally be in one of three ways: (i) full payment at time of
booking, (ii) deposit at time of booking with remainder payable on
checkout, or (iii) full payment on checkout. In order to ascertain
which applies to your booking, please refer to the Full payment for
all Flight+Hotel Packages, air, insurance products and car rental
(other than car rental pay-on-arrival bookings) is required at the
time of booking. Please note that additional charges may be payable
for car rental (eg optional insurance, additional drivers, mileage)
as further set out in the specific car rental terms and
conditions.
The timing and collection of payment for hotels depends on each
individual hotel's terms and conditions. The timing of payment will
normally be in one of three ways: (i) full payment at time of
booking, (ii) deposit at time of booking with remainder payable on
checkout, or (iii) full payment on checkout. In order to ascertain
which applies to your booking, please refer to the 'Payment
Summary' when making your booking or see your confirmation email.
The collector of payment will be either Benz Travel, the Travel
Supplier, the hotel or its representative. Some hotels may charge
additional local taxes.
Benz Travel may be required to pass your card details to the
relevant Travel Supplier for fulfilment of the booking. Payment
methods other than those stated on the Site will not be accepted
and no responsibility is accepted for cash or cheques sent through
the post.
Before payment is received in full, Benz Travel or the Travel
Supplier is not obliged to issue any tickets, confirmations,
vouchers, or other travel documents. However, you shall in all
cases remain liable for payment of the amounts agreed for the
travel products and services ordered. Benz Travel is an IATA
Ticketing Agent - your tickets for scheduled flights will be sent
to you within 24 hours of payment being accepted.
Payment can be made by all major debit and credit cards as detailed
on the Site. Benz Travel reserves the right to charge you in
addition for any handling fees we or the Travel Supplier incur in
relation to bookings made by credit card. You will be notified of
the relevant charges at the time of booking. Benz Travel reserves
the right to pass on any charges relating to card charge backs. If
your booking is being paid for with a third party credit card we
may require written authorisation to be provided by the
card-holder.
Benz Travel or the Travel Supplier reserves the right only to
deliver tickets, confirmations, e-vouchers or other travel
documents to your credit card billing address when requested to do
so by the credit card issuer.
Failure to supply the correct credit or debit card billing address
information may result in the cancellation of your booking, delays
to the issue of your tickets and may make the fare(s) subject to
increase. Please ensure that the billing address details you give
match those on your billing statement.
Further, in an effort to minimise the effects of credit card fraud,
we reserve the right to carry out random checks, including checks
of the electoral roll, and may request you to either fax or post to
us proof of your address and a copy of the credit card and recent
statement before issuing any tickets. Please note that where
the cardholder is not travelling or where the booking is for
a destination with historically high levels of credit card
fraud, this policy will be applied automatically.
Refunds will be processed to the form of payment used at the time
of booking. This will be made payable to the person who made the
original payment.
Taxes fluctuate in line with exchange rates.
If you pay by credit card, payment for your flights may be taken
directly by the airline. If there are any problems with your
payment, we will contact you within 48 hours of your booking (or
within 24 hours if you are travelling within 48 hours). Benz Travel
will not be liable for any subsequent price increase as a result of
payment failure. Any price increase must be paid for by you before
the booking can be confirmed. Please note that the airline payment
and payment to Benz Travel for any other products or Benz Travel
charges will appear as separate transactions on your credit card
statement. If you book a Flight +Hotel Package, Benz Travel will
take payment for your entire package.
|
| 6. Passports, Visas and Heal
Cancellation by you |
The information in this section is
valid for British Citizens only. Non-British Citizens (including:
citizens of British Dependent Territories; those who hold their
citizenship by virtue of a connection with Gibraltar; British
subjects who have a right of abode in the United Kingdom; and EC
and other nationals) should consult the Embassy of their
destination country and the Home Office Immigration Department
regarding any special documentation for the countries they are
visiting or for return to the UK.
Some overseas countries have an immigration requirement that your
passport is valid for a minimum period after you enter that
country, typically 6 months. If your passport has less than a year
to run, please ensure you have a passport valid at least for the
duration of your trip, although we recommend that you ask the
Passport Agency before you travel to make sure. For further
information about your UK passport and applications for renewal
please visit the UK Passport website at www.ukpa.gov.uk If your
passport is in its final year of validity, we advise you confirm
the requirements of the destination before making final travel
plans.
Children not already included on a valid British passport will need
to hold their own passport if they are to travel abroad. Children
who were included on a passport before 5 October 1998 may continue
to travel with the passport holder until:
· The child reaches the age of 16; or
· The passport on which the child is included expires;
or
· The passport on which the child is included is replaced or
an amendment results in the issue of a new passport
The name on the passport must match the name on the ticket,
otherwise you may not be able to travel and insurance may be
invalid. If, after booking a holiday but before travelling, any
member of your party changes their name, e.g. as a result of
getting married, we must be notified immediately so that we can try
to make the necessary changes to your holiday documentation.
Travellers to the United States: It is important
that all travellers to the United States take note of the
following:
A visa will be necessary for entry to the United States unless
passengers are eligible under the Visa Waiver Scheme. The Visa
Waiver Scheme allows holders of full British Citizens Passports who
have the right of abode in the UK to complete a Visa Waiver Form
and submit this on arrival. You must ensure that you comply with
all US Government requirements as per the Visa Waiver Form before
confirming your booking.
All British passport holders, including children, travelling to the
USA under the VWP (Visa Waiver Programme) will need their own
machine-readable passports (MRP). This means that anyone without a
MRP, including children who are currently on a parent's passport,
will need a visa to travel to the USA. A British Passport is
machine-readable when the white strip at the foot of the personal
data page (at the back of the passport) bears two lines of print.
If there's no white strip, or the white strip is blank, then the
passport is not machine-readable.
For further details on entry requirements for the USA, check the US
Embassy website: www.usembassy.org.uk or the Foreign &
Commonwealth Office: www.fco.gov.uk
If you are not a British citizen, you should contact your Embassy
for information and advice on the visa requirements of the
countries you propose to visit.
Please note: Passport and visa regulations can
change and you should therefore check with the relevant embassy
well in advance of travel. It is your responsibility to be in
possession of a valid passport and if appropriate, a visa. It can
often take some time to obtain a visa, so you are advised to apply
in plenty of time. We accept no responsibility for customers who do
not possess the correct documents.
It is your responsibility to check and comply with any health
requirements. We recommend that British Citizens visit the 'Health
Advice for Travellers' section of the Department of Health's
website at www.dh.gov.uk/PolicyAndGuidance or speak to their GP.
Non-British Citizens should make enquiries at their own country's
Department of Health or similar advisory body.

| 7. Other Generally Applicable
Terms |
| Your rights under EC Regulation 261/2004 if your
flight is cancelled, delayed or your are denied
boarding
If you are travelling into or
out of the EU, or on an EU carrier, you may have rights which you
can assert against the relevant airline in the event that your
flight is cancelled, delayed or you are denied
boarding.
Liability of Benz Travel
Where you have bought a Flight+Hotel Package, Benz Travel
accepts responsibility for ensuring that it is supplied as
described on the Site, and for matters which arise as a direct
result of our negligence and/or breach of our contract with
you.
Where you have bought a DIY
Package or any Other Product, your contract is with the Travel
Supplier for whom we are acting as agent. While we are therefore
unable to compensate you, we will do our utmost to contact the
Travel Supplier on your behalf.
Benz Travel does not accept
liability where the failure to provide part or all of your booking,
death or personal injury is not caused by any fault of us, our
agents or Travel Suppliers. In respect of international travel by
air, sea and rail, our liability will be limited in the manner
provided by the relevant international conventions.
Where Benz Travel is liable
for direct loss this will be limited to a maximum of the total
price of the products or services in respect of which a claim is
made (save for the case of death or personal injury in respect of
which there is no limit).
Benz Travel will not be liable
for any indirect or consequential loss of any kind in contract,
tort or otherwise arising out of your use of this Site or any of
the travel products or services booked or purchased on the
Site.
Queries and Complaints
relating to your Booking
Please contact our customer services team, if you have any
other enquiries or complaints relating to your booking prior to
departure.
If you have a complaint
relating to a Travel Supplier and/or hotel during your stay, please
ensure that you officially log your complaint with the relevant
Travel Supplier and/or hotel prior to your return.
If you have any other
enquiries or complaints relating to your booking during your stay,
please contact our customer services team on your return and no
later than 30 days after it giving your booking reference and all
other relevant information. If we or any of our Travel Supplier's
require further information you must supply that promptly in
writing. This simple procedure must be followed as we and our
Travel Supplier's need to be able to investigate the problem and,
where possible, rectify it quickly. In relation to Flight+Hotel
Packages your failure to comply with this procedure could result in
us being unable to accept responsibility.
APIS
All airlines are required to
collect Advance Passenger Information from passengers before travel

this information to Benz Travel and consent to Benz Travel passing
this information to the airlines who may onward disclose it to
foreign authorities. If you do not supply Advance Passenger
Information, you may be refused entry to these countries. It is
also important that the information is accurate so that you do not
have any delay when you pass through Immigration on arrival in
these countries. The information you will be asked to provide will
depend on the country you are visiting but will include passport
information, city and country of residence and destination address
if travelling to the USA (for all travellers on your
booking).
If you are travelling to a
country that requires Advance Passenger information, Benz Travel
will ask you to fill out this information on the confirmation page
after you have completed your booking. If you do not have the
information to hand, Benz Travel will send you an email
confirmation containing a link where you can enter the information
manually at any time before your departure.

offence, or damage to others, or risks damage to property belonging
