IMPORTaNT<br />

Travel Insurance vs car Insurance - Personal travel<br />

insurance is a contract between the insurance company<br />

& YOU. It is NOT between the rental car company & the<br />

insurance company. Therefore you’ll need to negotiate<br />

a level of insurance cover with the car company &<br />

any claims will be deducted from your credit card. It’s<br />

then up to you to reclaim it from your travel insurance<br />

company if appropriate.<br />

Trains<br />

Let us take the worry out of travel, just sit back and relax and take in the beautiful scenery that New Zealand is so<br />

famous for on some of the world’s best train journeys.<br />

Travel through the heartland of New Zealand’s North Island, hug the rugged Pacific coast between Picton and Kaikoura<br />

or experience the grandeur of the Southern Alps between Christchurch and Greymouth. Each journey offers a unique<br />

way to experience New Zealand.<br />

In 2012 the experience has got even better<br />

Throughout 2012 new carriages that have been purpose built in New Zealand, are being introduced onto all KiwiRail<br />

Scenic services.<br />

To make the most of the spectacular scenery these new air-conditioned carriages feature oversized side windows<br />

combined with unique skylight roof windows for a truly panoramic view.<br />

Relax in specially designed seating configured either in pairs around tables, or as recliners that can be rotated to face<br />

whichever direction the train is travelling.<br />

Below the floor advanced smooth glide air suspension means a smooth and quiet ride.<br />

Although the carriage windows are made of non-tinted, non-reflective glass – ideal for taking photos through – there<br />

is also an outside viewing car where nothing gets between you and a great photo, everytime.<br />

And inside you keep track of the journey with an automated at seat journey commentary via headphones, plus route<br />

information displayed on the overhead HD video screens.<br />

And when it’s time for something to eat or drink, the café car is the place to sample unique and tasty local cuisine<br />

washed down with renowned New Zealand wines or boutique beers.<br />

Want to do it all?<br />

If it’s difficult choosing between rail trips, why not do the lot? Our range of Throughfares connect the North and<br />

South Island destinations by combining the Coastal Pacific train with either the Interislander ferry or a Sounds Air<br />

scenic flight.<br />

Accommodation Ratings<br />

& Passes<br />

Accommodation Ratings<br />

Star ratings are approx. only & intended to help you gauge the level & type most suited to your needs. Wherever<br />

possible we have used the NZ official Qualmark rating which means properties have undergone a rigorous,<br />

independent assessment. As not all properties are Qualmark rated, we have tried to estimate an approx. star rating for<br />

the remainder. We stress that this is a guide only. We do not take any responsibility for a change in standards. It is also<br />

important that you recognise the difference between styles of accomm. eg. 5 star motels will not have the same level<br />

of services or facilities as 5 star hotels. Some properties have a range of styles making them difficult to categorise.<br />

complete without experiencing Shantytown. The discovery of gold in 1864 led to a population “explosion” - from<br />

tale of hardship & murder. Stop a while and browse Reuben Waite’s General Store for gifts or send a postcard<br />

stamped with the Shantytown’s own Post Mark. For a memento of your visit to Shantytown nothing is better than<br />

to grab a costume and get an old time photo. There is so much to see & do at Shantytown. open 8.30am-5pm.<br />

First train departs 9.45am & then regular intervals throughout the day until 4pm. Entry includes steam train ride<br />

With over 70 different solo and tandem jump styles we can expertly manage the scariness for everyone – from<br />

Milford Sound, Doubtful Sound, Mitre peak and the Great Walks. Less known<br />

but well worth visiting is neighbouring Southland with its amazing array of<br />

scenery, abundance of wildlife and extremely hospitable locals. The signposted<br />

Southern Scenic Route from Queenstown to Dunedin has been designed to help<br />

you get the most out of your visit.<br />

A little preparation will ensure the trip of a lifetime!<br />

Whilst not extreme, many people consider the Milford and/ or Routeburn Tracks to be a personal challenge. The<br />

terrain is often steep and the track surface can vary from flat and maintained, to rocky and even flooded at times.<br />

A moderate level of fitness is recommended to ensure that you are able to fully enjoy these walks. If you are not a<br />

regular walker, we suggest you begin a regime 6 to 8 weeks before departure, gradually increasing the distance<br />

and adding some hills into your training circuit. The weather in Fiordland can be very unpredictable. Please adhere<br />

to our recommended equipment list and be prepared for every eventuality, as it is not uncommon to experience<br />

snow in the middle of summer.<br />

A full information pack detailing your walk and how to prepare will be issued upon booking.<br />

<strong>ANZCRO</strong> is happy to answer any questions.<br />

be payable if any decrease in our costs exceeds 2% as set out<br />

above. Where a refund is due, we will pay you the full amount<br />

of such decrease. You have 14 days from the surcharge invoice<br />

issue date to tell us if you want to cancel or purchase other<br />

arrangements. If we do not hear from you within this time,<br />

we are entitled to assume that you will pay the surcharge. Any<br />

surcharge must be paid with the balance of the cost of your<br />

arrangements or within 14 days of the surcharge invoice issue<br />

date, whichever is the later. No surcharge will be levied within<br />

30 days of your departure. No refunds will be payable if any<br />

decrease in our costs occurs within this period either.<br />

Cancellations by you: If you need to cancel a confirmed<br />

booking you must contact us in writing, either directly or<br />

through your travel agent, & the lead passenger must sign<br />

the letter. If you cancel before the balance is due, you will<br />

forfeit your deposit. Cancellations after full payment has been<br />

made will incur additional charges to cover administration &<br />

cancellation charges imposed by suppliers. Should you cancel<br />

your confirmed booking, or part of your booking, the following<br />

cancellation charges will apply:<br />

United Kingdom Australia<br />

ABTA No. W4337<br />

More then 56 days prior to departure: Deposit only<br />

42 - 56 days: the higher of 30% of the total cost or<br />

loss of deposit<br />

28 - 41 days: the higher of 60% of the total cost or<br />

loss of deposit<br />

8 - 27 days: the higher of 90% of the total cost or<br />

loss of deposit<br />

7 days or less 100% of the holiday cost at the discretion of<br />

the airlines, land content service providers & <strong>ANZCRO</strong>.<br />

Note: These cancellation charges apply to all bookings, except<br />

in circumstances where a booking includes items or services<br />

where our suppliers cancellation charges exceed those shown<br />

above. In these circumstances any additional cancellation<br />

charges will be advised at the time of booking.<br />

(b) Other Travel Arrangements - If you need to cancel you must<br />

do so in writing either directly or through your travel agent.<br />

Cancellation charges vary depending on the services booked<br />

& will be clearly stated at the time of booking. In all cases a<br />

min. cancellation fee of £75 will apply regardless of the value<br />

of tickets once a booking has been made. Please ensure you<br />

are certain of the fees applicable to your booking by asking<br />

your travel agent or us before proceeding to book your<br />

arrangements.<br />

Changes by you: If you wish to make a change to a confirmed<br />

booking please contact your travel agent. Any changes made<br />

before departure will incur a min. charge of £50 per person.<br />

In many cases airlines require tickets to be issued on booking<br />

& where tickets have been issued changes may be treated as<br />

a cancellation. Please note: A change to the travel departure<br />

date once confirmed, is regarded as a cancellation & rebooking,<br />

not an amendment to the booking. Some suppliers, particularly<br />

airlines, whose fares may be non-refundable, may consider a<br />

name or other change to an exiting booking, as a cancellation<br />

& rebooking, with up to 100% cancellation charges.<br />

Changes & cancellations by us: Arrangements are often<br />

made many months in advance. Occasionally, we, airlines<br />

&/or suppliers have to make changes to & correct errors in<br />

published & other details both before & after bookings have<br />

been confirmed & cancel confirmed bookings. Whilst we<br />

always endeavour to avoid changes & cancellations, we must<br />

reserve the right to do so. However, we will only cancel your<br />

confirmed booking 8 weeks or less before departure where you<br />

have failed to comply with any requirement of these booking<br />

conditions entitling us to cancel or where we are forced to do<br />

so as a result of circumstances outside our control or because<br />

an insufficient number of people have booked your chosen<br />

arrangements & we have notified you of this not less than 8<br />

weeks before departure. Most changes are minor. Occasionally,<br />

we have to make a significant change. Significant changes incl.<br />

the following changes when made before departure; a change<br />

of accommodation to that of a lower official classification or<br />

standard for the whole or a major part of the time you are away,<br />

a change of outward departure time or overall length of time<br />

you are away of 24 or more hours or a change of UK departure<br />

point to one which is substantially more inconvenient for you<br />

(except between airports within or around the same city). If we<br />

have to make a significant change or cancel, we will tell you as<br />

soon as possible. If there is time to do so before departure, we<br />

will offer you the choice of the following options:-<br />

(a) (for significant changes) accepting the changed<br />

arrangements or<br />

(b) purchasing alternative arrangements for us, of a similar<br />

standard to those originally booked if available (if the alternative<br />

is less expensive than the original arrangements, we will refund<br />

the difference but if more expensive, we will ask you to pay<br />

the difference or<br />

(c) cancelling or accepting the cancellation in which case you<br />

will receive a full refund of all monies you have paid to us.<br />

If we have to make a significant change or cancel after the date<br />

you have to pay the balance of the cost of your arrangements,<br />

we will pay you the compensation set out below depending<br />

on the circumstances provided we have received full payment<br />

subject to the following exceptions. Compensation will not be<br />

payable & no liability beyond offering the above mentioned<br />

choices can be accepted where we are forced to make a change<br />

or cancel as a result or unusual & unforeseeable circumstances<br />

beyond our control, the consequences of which we could<br />

not have avoided even with all due care or where we cancel<br />

more then 8 weeks before departure because an insufficient<br />

number of people have booked your chosen arrangements.<br />

No compensation will be payable & the above options will not<br />

be available if we cancel as a result of your failure to comply<br />

with any requirement of these Booking Conditions entitling us<br />

Very rarely, we may be forced by “force majeure” to change<br />

or terminate your arrangements after departure but before the<br />

scheduled end of your time away. This is extremely unlikely but<br />

if this situation does occur, we regret we will be unable to make<br />

any refunds (unless we obtain any refunds from our suppliers),<br />

pay you any compensation or meet any costs or expenses you<br />

incur as a result.<br />

Our liability: (a) Packages: We are responsible for ensuring<br />

your package holiday is of a reasonable standard & as<br />

described to you. If any part fails to reach this standard &<br />

affects the enjoyment of your holiday, we will offer reasonable<br />

compensation providing it is not due to events outside our<br />

control. Our liability in all these cases is limited to an amount<br />

we consider reasonable, having regard for the cost of the<br />

service or facility concerned & the seriousness of the deficiency.<br />

<strong>ANZCRO</strong> (UK) accepts responsibility for death, injury or illness<br />

caused by the negligent acts &/or omissions of our employees<br />

or agents, together with our suppliers & sub-contractors,<br />

servants &/or agents of the same, whilst acting in the course<br />

of their employment in the provision of your package holiday.<br />

We will pay compensation equivalent to that which would be<br />

awarded in an English Court, but will not offer compensation<br />

if the injury, illness or death is caused by your own fault or the<br />

fault of someone unconnected with the package, or an event<br />

that could not have been expected or avoided even with all<br />

due care. In respect of international carriage by air or sea our<br />

liability in all cases will be limited in the manner permitted by<br />

international conventions. You may ask for copies of these on<br />

written request to our offices.<br />

(b) Other Travel Arrangements: When acting only as a booking<br />

agent <strong>ANZCRO</strong> (UK) has no liability whatsoever for any aspect<br />

of the travel arrangements & accepts no liability for any loss,<br />

personal injury or death however incurred, except where<br />

caused by our own proven negligence.<br />

Complaints procedure: If you have a problem during the<br />

course of your holiday, you must inform the supplier of the<br />

service, plus a representative whose details we have provided,<br />

or telephone our offices immediately as failure to do so may<br />

reduce or extinguish any possible claim. We will endeavour<br />

to put things right as soon as possible. We will acknowledge<br />

all complaints on their receipt & deal with them promptly &<br />

efficiently. Any disputes which cannot be amicably settled<br />

may (if the client wishes) be referred to arbitration under a<br />

special scheme which although devised by arrangement with<br />

the ABTA, is administered independently by IDRS, part of the<br />

Chartered Institute of Arbitrators. The scheme does not apply<br />

for amounts greater than £5,000 per person. There is also a<br />

limit of £25,000 per booking. Neither does it apply to claims<br />

that are solely or mainly in respect of physical injury or illness.<br />

The application for arbitration must be made within nine<br />

months of the date of return to the United Kingdom, but in<br />

special circumstances it may still be offered outside this period.<br />

Alternatively, you may wish to take any dispute to the Small<br />

Claims Court. Full details of the Arbitration Scheme can be<br />

obtained from ABTA, 30 Park Street, London SE1 9EQ.<br />

Data Protection Policy: In order to process your booking &<br />

to ensure your travel arrangements run smoothly & meet your<br />

requirements we (& your travel agent) need to use the info<br />

you provide such as name, address, & special needs/dietary<br />

requirements etc. We take full responsibility for ensuring proper<br />

security measures are in place to protect your information. We<br />

must pass the info on to the relevant suppliers of your travel<br />

arrangements such as airlines, hotels, transport companies etc.<br />

The info may also be provided to security or credit checking<br />

companies, public authorities such as customs/immigration if<br />

required by them, or as required by law. Additionally where<br />

your holiday is outside the European Economic Area (EEA),<br />

controls on data protection in your destination may not be as<br />

strong as the legal requirements in this country. We will not<br />

however, pass any info onto any person not responsible for<br />

part of your travel arrangements. This applies to any sensitive<br />

info you give us such as details of any disabilities, or dietary/<br />

religious requirements. (If we cannot pass this information to<br />

the relevant suppliers, whether in the EEA or not, we cannot<br />

provide your booking.) In making this booking, you consent<br />

to this information being passed on to the relevant persons.
