Quoted prices from Mini Tours Ltd (The company - also trading as Mini Tours Scotland)
Tour prices are quoted for each tour, on a daily basis, and depend on the number or persons and are in pounds Sterling (GBP) and include the cost of vehicle, driver-guide, itinerary planning, all fuel and maintenance costs, car parking fees, tolls, guides daily expenses, transfers and local taxes. There are no hidden costs. If ferry costs are needed these will be highlighted. All email contacts between client and Mini Tours Ltd form part of the contract. By paying a deposit you are agreeing to these terms and conditions.
The tour price is final, unless if there is a significant difference from the original request to the actual itinerary requested by the client and if a change in the number of persons - there may be a change to the end costs. This will be highlighted before final payment. General duration of daily tours is 8 hours, with approx. 1 hour for lunch. This is flexible - however any significant addition to this will incur additional costs, at the complete discretion of the guide, if caused by additional requests or actions from the client.
Tour prices do not include entrance fees, hotels, meals, ferry costs (when needed - guides ferry cost to be paid also) or gratuities.
Accommodation and tour booking
A non-refundable deposit is required at the time of booking. Full payment, including daily fees, ferry costs (if required - any additional ferry costs can be paid on tour) will be due before the tour start date, unless stated.
The final costs will be detailed in a final costs e-mail - acceptance of final costs will complete the contract and any changes or corrections with regard to dates and accommodations bookings must be made at this point and before final payment is made as ferry costs and accommodation costs are often non-refundable. It is up to the client to ensure all information is correct and agreeable.
Insurances
Mini Tours Ltd and the vehicle is insured for passenger and third party claims, as required by law. However, whilst every care is always taken, customers' personal property is carried entirely at their own risk and no responsibility can be accepted for loss or damage thereto. Customers are therefore required to ensure that they carry adequate and relevant travel, medical and cancellation insurance - this forms part of the specific contract of the tour and must be in place. Any claim without insurance will be void. In the event of client illness, then the relevant client must accept responsibility for any medical costs incurred and Mini Tours Ltd shall not be liable to refund any part of the tour cost
Liability
Mini Tours Ltd accepts no liability for loss, damage, delay, inconvenience, or direct or consequential loss, however caused, unless due to our negligence, in which case our liability is limited to a maximum of the tour cost.
