TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF CONTRACT

1. The supplier and Organiser of the Tour is

Classic Car Tours International Limited (company number 04836747)

whose address is 5 Royston Rd., Poulton-le-Fylde, Lancashire FY6 7JX.

The following terms and conditions form the basis of a contract with you "the client" once you have completed the booking form and returned it to us, together with the relevant booking fee and we have acknowledged acceptance to you in writing or by email.

2. The price of the Tour

The price of the tour is per person and is listed on the website. This price is based on two people sharing a car, ferry cabin and hotel room. Single-person occupancy of a hotel room will incur a premium. Only one person in a car will also increase the overall cost per person based on ferry and cabin costs, as these will not be shared between two occupants. We have the right to increase or decrease the price of unsold tour holidays at any time. The current price will be confirmed at the time of booking.

After confirmation the following provisions will apply;

Currency surcharges: changes in exchange rates mean that the price of travel arrangements, especially overseas hotels may change after you have booked.
All of our 2025 European tours are priced on our website in £ sterling and are based on a currency conversion of £1 =1.15€

However, due to the uncertainty of predicting future £ sterling to euro exchange rates, we reserve the right to make a surcharge based on the current exchange rates at the time of receiving your fees. Conversely, we will reimburse clients when the conversion rates are in your favour.

Correction of errors we reserve the right to correct errors after the confirmation of bookings.
