Insurance - Travel, Supplier and Flight Failure
It
is a condition of booking that comprehensive travel insurance is
obtained that covers 'adventure travel' and is valid for travel to
your choice of holiday destination, from the date your holiday booking
is made. Please note that travel insurance provided with, for example,
a credit card, may not provide adequate cover. A copy of your travel
insurance and emergency contact details will be required by us prior
to your holiday departure date. We recommend that you purchase
supplier and flight failure insurance so that all elements of your
holiday are insured.
