Drover Holidays Booking Conditions
We put a lot of effort into making your holiday an enjoyable and memorable experience. Please take a minute to read through the following conditions, before you proceed with your booking. The Booking Conditions outline the rights and obligations of the customer and those of Drover Holidays.
- 1.YOUR CONTRACT WITH US
A written booking confirmation will be sent to you in the post or by email. Please check the details and return a signed copy to us. Your holiday is not confirmed until we receive a signed copy from you. On receipt of the signed copy, a binding contract is made between you and Drover Holidays.

Failure to pay the balance within 6 weeks of departure will result in cancellation of your holiday.

The bicycle is supplied in good condition, and you must undertake not to misuse it, and to return it with all accessories in the same condition as when received (ordinary wear and tear excepted) to the place and on the due date and time agreed.
We reserve the right to charge you for all damage caused to the bicycle during the period of your holiday. A full schedule of damage costs is available on request.

We cannot accept liability or pay any compensation for any cancellation, amendment or alteration due to forces beyond our control, including but not limited to war or threat of war, riot, civil strife, terrorist activity (actual or threatened), industrial dispute, natural or nuclear disaster, fire, outbreak of an epidemic or epizootic, bad weather and all other events which we could not, with all reasonable care, have foreseen or avoided.
- 9.SAFETY
Our holidays do not require specialist knowledge or high levels of proficiency in cycling or walking. However, if we are not satisfied that you are a sufficiently competent cyclist or believe you are medically unfit, we reserve the right to refuse to provide you with a bicycle. To avoid unnecessary risk and discomfort to you, we may suggest an easier grade holiday or a tailor-made route.
