The guarantee is not applicable to Hotels with Coach.
-
Pricing may fluctuate; we are devoted to bringing you nothing less than the highest standards and best choice of product, at the best price.

Vehicle owners park at their own risk. Unless clearly stated, parking at hotels is deemed unsecure. The car parked are subject to the conditions and insurance arrangements of the individual car parks (can be requested from the car park). You may have to park for the night of your stay in the hotels' car park, which is unlikely to be secured.
Parking may be offered for 8 or 15 days at a time as an extra or inclusive of the package. You may stay for shorter periods, but that will not result in a price reduction. If you stay for longer periods than you have reserved, you are likely to be liable to pay for your extra stay.

The hotel, or car park staff may require you to hand over your keys in the interests of efficient operations.
