Upon clearance of the check / cheque payment the booking will be confirmed. You must check the confirmation and final invoice carefully and raise any queries immediately.

B). PAYING YOUR BALANCE: The balance of any long-term rental fee is due at the latest 10 weeks prior to the commencement of the rental period. We reserve the right to treat the booking as cancelled if we do not receive the balance by the due date. In the event of a check not being honoured by the bank on which it is drawn we will make a charge of $50 to cover the bank charges and our administration costs.

Regrettably, Pay-Pal charges a 5% handling fee, and other Banks charge us $30.00 to process Wire Transfers. We therefore have reluctantly been forced to pass these charges on. (Remember you can still avoid these charges by mailing a check (cheque) direct to our bank at the above address) Sorry!

Completing your Booking form You can open this attachment and complete the required details on the booking form, and then e-mail / fax back to us (for initial confirmation). However we will require a ‘hard’ copy of your signature, before any discounts can be repaid. This can be done by either printing off a copy and mail to the above U.K. address OR for late deals by faxing a completed copy back to us.
