Booking Conditions

Holidays booked through Holiday.co.uk are governed by Holiday Express (UK) Ltd.'s Terms and Conditions. These are as below.

Should you require any clarification of these Terms and Conditions, please ask one of our sales representatives at the time of making your booking.

These terms and conditions do not affect your statutory rights as a consumer.

Insurance

It is a condition of booking with every tour operator that you have adequate insurance cover. Such insurance will ensure that you are properly covered against unexpected cancellation charges, medical costs that might be incurred while you're away, loss of money, or belongings, or personal liability claims. Please note that the cover offered by most credit card companies is not normally adequate for package holiday or holiday flight bookings.

If you require insurance cover, Holiday.co.uk will be pleased to arrange it at the time of booking, though you are free to make your own arrangements.

Please see Journeys Travel Insurance for details of our policy.
