Infants and child seats

We do not include infants in the calculations below. Therefore, you may wish to book a larger car if taking an infant with you. If you anticipate taking more luggage than is likely to fit in the boot then please ensure you upgrade to a car with a larger boot as roof racks are usually not available. Charges for infant/child seats are payable locally but these must be requested at the time of booking.

Fly-drive Holidays with car included

Where a car is included in the price of a holiday, prices are based on a minimum of 2 people in a Group A car, 3 people in a Group B car, 4-5 people in a Group C car, parties of 6 people have 2 group B cars or, subject to availability, a minibus.
Where there is only 1 person travelling a supplement of half the amount of the car hire shown in the price panel will be applied. If you wish to upgrade to a larger car, the supplement will be the difference between the 2 cars as displayed in the price panel below. Please consider how much luggage you require when selecting your car size.

Delivery

All cars will be booked for collection at the airport on your day of arrival unless otherwise stated at the time of booking. Should you wish the car to be delivered to your accommodation a delivery charge will apply.
