information you provide such as name , address and any special needs / dietary requirements etc . We take full responsibility for ensuring that proper security measures are in place to protect your information . We must pass the information on to the relevant suppliers of your travel arrangements such as airlines , hotels , transport companies etc .
The information may also be provided to security or credit checking companies , public authorities such as customs / immigration if required by them , or as required by law . Additionally , where your holiday is outside the European Economic Area ( EEA ), controls on data protection in your destination may not be as strong as the legal requirements in this country . We will not , however , pass any information onto any person not responsible for part of your travel arrangements . This applies to any sensitive information that you give to us such as details of any disabilities , or dietary / religious requirements . This transfer is necessary for us to be able to fulfil your requirements .
Please note that where information is also held by your travel agent , this is subject to your agent ’ s own data protection policy . Your data controller is Premier Holidays . You are entitled to a copy of your information held by us . If you would like to see this please contact us in writing , signed and dated .
Early or late arrivals
Rooms are normally available on your arrival day from 1500 hours onwards and you will be required to vacate your room by mid morning on your departure day .
Health
Healthcare services are available in the Channel Islands and Isle of Man . There is a reciprocal health agreement in place for emergency treatment in Jersey and the Isle of Man , but you will still have to pay for doctors ’ visits and medication . There is currently no reciprocal health agreement with Guernsey , so you will have to pay for any treatment you receive . The Isle of Wight , Isles of Scilly and Scottish Highlands are part of the UK and consequently , NHS services are available . Regardless of your destination , we strongly recommend that you travel with full medical insurance , as it may be necessary to make alternative return travel arrangements or provide for travelling companions to extend their stay , which would only be covered if a suitable insurance policy has been purchased . If you are pregnant , please inform us at the time of booking . Both airlines and ferry companies place restrictions on travel in the last trimester of pregnancy . These do vary from one company to another , so check with us and we will give you current advice .
Honeymoon and anniversary offers
If you are celebrating your honeymoon , silver , pearl , ruby , gold or diamond wedding anniversary ( offers not valid for other anniversaries ) and wish to take up any offer , you must advise us at the time of booking . You will be required to present your marriage certificate to claim any offers . Insurance
It is advisable to take out an insurance policy at the time of booking as you are at risk as soon as your deposit is paid to us . If you fail to make appropriate insurance arrangements in a timely manner , we will not be liable for any losses or expenses which you may incur for claims which might normally have been covered by insurance in respect of circumstances for which we are not responsible .
Local assistance
Representation visits are made to most hotels in Guernsey and most St Helier hotels in Jersey during the summer months . No visits are made to self-catering accommodation . We have an office in the Channel Islands and our staff there can be contacted by telephone for advice or assistance . They can also arrange a representative visit on request should you require it .
There are no representation services in any other destination featured in this brochure . Should you need to contact us in an emergency whilst on holiday , an out of hours number will be detailed in your travel documentation .
Meals
The meals included in your holiday are indicated on each hotel description . Half board includes breakfast and dinner . Where half board is booked , the first meal included in your holiday will normally be dinner on your arrival day , and the last breakfast on your departure day . Most hotels also have set meal times . If your arrival or departure does not coincide with normal meal times , you may find that some hotels will only provide a light / cold snack or continental breakfast . In case of early morning arrivals and late departures , it is possible to obtain extra meals and these must be paid for locally before your departure . Please note that whilst hotels will do their best to cater for special dietary requests , menu choices may be limited .
Premier Plus , Bonus Buys and Early Booking Offers
All offers are available for holidays started and completed within the period stated and all nights must be consecutive . They may also be subject to availability and for bookings made by a certain date or may be withdrawn at any time without prior notice . Offers for items such as champagne are per booking , not per person . Where more than one offer is advertised , these may not be combinable and you may have to choose which you prefer . This will be explained to you at the time of booking .
Safety and security
You can obtain current travel advice from the Foreign , Commonwealth & Development Office Travel Advice Unit at their website https :// www . gov . uk / foreign-travel-advice
Special requests
If you have any special requests relating to your holiday , you should advise us when you make your booking . Although we are happy to pass on any requests to our suppliers , we cannot guarantee that they will be fulfilled and any additional costs involved will be passed on to you . Special requests do not form part of your contract with us .
Tours
Some tours may only operate if a minimum number of people book . Where this is the case , we will notify you at the time of booking that the tour is subject to a minimum number of people and should the tour be cancelled , you will have the choice of accepting an alternative ( subject to availability ) or , if the tour is a significant part of your holiday , you will be offered the option to cancel your holiday and receive a full refund of all monies paid . Day excursions and some short side trip tours may similarly be dependent on minimum numbers . Wherever possible , we will contact you prior to departure ( or alternatively you will be contacted by our local agent ) to advise you of this and you will have the choice of accepting an alternative tour or an alternative date , where available , or receiving a full refund of monies paid for that tour .
Travel arrangements
When you book your holiday we will give you the best information we have then about your travel dates , time , routing , carrier and aircraft type . However , carriers can and do change dates , times and routing at very short notice and we cannot control these changes . When such changes are made , we will do our best to help you make arrangements to minimise inconvenience to you .
If we are notified , in advance , by the airline of schedule changes affecting your itinerary , we will notify you ( if there is time to do so before departure ). If the timing change is one hour or less , this will be advised to you on your travel documentation when issued .
We cannot accept responsibility if you miss your departure because you check in late . Whilst we cannot guarantee specific seat allocation , some airlines do accept requests which we will be pleased to pass on . All flights are nonsmoking services .
It is our policy that once you have checked in you are the responsibility of the carrier . Transport may be delayed or cancelled due to bad weather , technical problems or unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances . Except where this leads to a major change to contracted services , we will not be liable for any loss or expense incurred in such cases , nor obliged to refund any payment for unused accommodation or services at your destination . Where we have a representative present , we will always try to help you to make appropriate arrangements for meals and / or accommodation if your transport is delayed . However , if you have purchased holiday insurance , you may find that it will pay certain benefits in the event of delays .
Transfers
Hotel transfers will be shown on your confirmation , if you have booked them . Whilst we do not include them
automatically on all holidays , these can be added at a supplement on request , in most locations . Shared transfers may involve stops at other properties en route to your own accommodation and may also be combined with arrivals and departures from other flights , which may involve a short wait .
Vehicles on ferry
If you have opted to take your own vehicle on the ferry , you should note that prices quoted apply only to “ standard ” sized passenger vehicles being used for non-commercial purposes . This is generally considered to be a vehicle which does not exceed 5 metres in length and 1.85 metres in height . Trailers and rear racks will attract a supplementary charge . It is your responsibility to check that the vehicle space we have booked for you can accommodate your vehicle . Remember that if your car has a top box or rear cycle rack , the space booked will need to accommodate these too . if you arrive at the port and your vehicle is too large for the space booked , you will not be able to travel and no refunds will be made . If your vehicle is a panel sided vehicle or is any other type of vehicle designed for the carriage of goods or if you are carrying personal belongings which require documentation and presentation to customs and excise , this is deemed to be freight . You must advise us at time of booking , so that the relevant price can be charged . If you fail to do this , you may be required to pay any necessary supplements at the port prior to travel .
When we sell a package holiday to you , we are obliged to comply with The Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018 . These obligations are incorporated into our booking agreement , but you can find more information on our website at : www . premierholidays . co . uk / package _ travel _ regulations visit channelslandsdirect . co . uk
