They apply to all bookings made through Travel Portfolio (“Travel Portfolio”), who are acting as agents on behalf of all of the suppliers (including airlines, tour and cruise operators, car hirers and accommodation providers) in your booking. You are contracting with the suppliers, whose terms and conditions apply to your booking. Copies of those terms and conditions are available upon request.

 

Suppliers specific terms and conditions are taken into account and this governs each overall booking on a per-case basis. Airlines require 100% payment to secure flights, and cancellation fees vary according to fare rules.  A non-refundable deposit of 25% is required to secure bookings generally (sometimes it may be more for peak periods – depending on specific suppliers requests).  The Travel Portfolio commission portion for services rendered and work done is included in this non-refundable payment, with exceptions made in the event of death or a similar serious situation, in which case the suppliers and Travel Portfolio may jointly reconsider and potentially reduce the fee. If the booking is postponed to a later date and clients proceed with their travel plans, no additional fees will be imposed. 

 

Balance of payment is required not less than 90 days before travel.

​

The person making the booking must be at least 18 years of age and must be authorised to make the booking on behalf of the members of the party. The person making the booking must also provide a copy of these booking conditions to the other members of the party. At the request of Travel Portfolio, you will provide written proof that you are authorised to make the bookings on behalf of the members of the party.

​

After Travel Portfolio have received your deposit or full payment, whichever is applicable, and have issued a confirmation email, invoice or voucher, a contract will exist between you and ourselves, and you and each of the suppliers, effective from the date of the email or from the date printed on your voucher or invoice. The terms and conditions of each supplier you have booked with will apply to your booking. Once the contract(s) is made, the airlines, accommodation provider and any other supplier is responsible for providing the service that you have booked.

Your booking will be subject to the terms and conditions applied by the provider of the service or products. You agree that if the travel services or products are not supplied in accordance with your booking your remedy lies with the service provider and not Travel Portfolio. Travel Portfolio will however reconfirm all details of your bookings several times, and do everything possible to broker or negotiate a remedy on your behalf should this become necessary.

​

Every effort is made to ensure that the prices quoted to you are correct; however, Travel Portfolio acts only as an agent / third party and relies on information provided to us from the suppliers of the travel services and products. We will bring to your attention any change in price made prior to you completing your booking and paying the balance of the price. Please note some tour operators and travel service providers reserve the right to increase the price of your travel arrangements due to increases in airfares, hotel accommodation charges and currency fluctuations.

​

It is your responsibility to ensure the type of airfare you purchase is suitable for your needs. It is also your responsibility to provide the correct details of the travelling party, including full names as shown in the valid passports, expiry dates and any other required information.

​

All airfares are subject to taxes and charges levied by both government and the airlines themselves; in addition global fuel costs are constantly increasing. Airlines pass on the increase in taxes and fuel surcharges without notice and whilst we will endeavour to advise you of these charges in advance that may not always prove possible. Travel Portfolio reserves the right to pass on fuel and tax increases, levied by airlines, without notice.

​

The airline on which you are booked may change its departure time. Whilst Travel Portfolio will attempt to keep you updated of any change, it is your responsibility to contact the airline to check there has been no change to the time of departure.

If you want to change any part of your booking, we will do all we can to help. However, the suppliers are under no obligation to make any change, although with reasonable notice (usually more than four weeks), changes may be possible and Travel Portfolio will assist wherever and however possible to make these changes / rebook your required service. 

 

If you are entitled to a refund please note Travel Portfolio is unable to provide you with funds until they are received from the supplier. Travel Portfolio will charge an administration cancellation fee per booking.

​

Travel Portfolio strongly recommends that you take out comprehensive travel insurance at the time of paying a deposit. The policy should provide cover for loss of deposit, cancellation and additional expenses, medical expenses and repatriation and loss or damage to baggage and valuables. You are responsible for making any special or increased insurance arrangements which you deem are necessary.

​

​Credit card surcharges may apply to payments made by credit card. In the event you pay by credit card but the services are not provided by a third party provider of travel services or products you agree that you will not take steps to charge back your payment to Travel Portfolio.

All Travellers must hold a valid passport for international travel. Some countries require you when entering to hold passport with at least six months validity. Children are required to hold individual passports.

​We hope you will have no reason to complain but if you are unhappy with any aspect of the services provided you must report it immediately to the supplier or contact Travel Portfolio. We shall attempt to resolve the matter immediately but if you remain dissatisfied you must write to us within 28 days from the end of your trip or holiday. Failure to complain at your destination may mean we will be unable to resolve the dispute after you return home.

​
