When you make a booking request, you will need to provide credit card details and choose how you would like to pay. Here's how it works.

1. Breakages Deposit (Required for All Bookings)

• We require your credit card details to place a £900 authorisation for the breakages deposit.
• This applies regardless of how you choose to pay for your booking.
• Pre-authorisation is charged the day before arrival and cleared 7 days after departure.

2. Payment Options

Paying by Credit Card

• You can pay the initial deposit and final balance by credit card.
• A 4% surcharge applies to cover processing fees — this is automatically added to your total.
• Your card will be charged automatically on the due dates shown in the payment schedule.

Paying by Bank Transfer (No Surcharge)

• If you prefer to avoid the 4% surcharge, you can pay by bank transfer instead.
• Do not select the credit card payment option during checkout.
• You must still enter your credit card details for the £900 breakages deposit pre-authorisation.
• Once your booking is accepted, you will receive payment instructions to transfer the deposit and final balance manually.

3. Security of Your Card Details

• Your credit card details are securely stored by Stripe.
• We do not charge your card for the booking deposit or final balance if you choose bank transfer.
• The system will only use your card details for the £900 pre-authorisation for the breakages deposit.
