self-drive - THE ULTIMATE HOLIDAY<br />

SELF-DRIVE - THE ULTIMATE HOLIDAY<br />

A self-drive holiday provides you with flexibility to suit your needs creating opportunities to explore breathtaking scenery and<br />

local culture. Whether you choose to stay close to the cities or go off the beaten track – you have complete control of your<br />

holiday. There is no real time limit, meaning that you can travel at your own pace – stop and take a photo wherever you like,<br />

whenever you like or perhaps take a break from driving and stop at a pub or café and experience the local hospitality.<br />

Rental Cars<br />

Rental cars are perfect for a shorter self-drive holiday. You can take them from country to country (check<br />

with your travel agent if travelling to Eastern <strong>Europe</strong> as this may be prohibited).<br />

We recommend collecting from a non-airport location where possible to avoid additional collection fees<br />

which can be expensive in some countries.<br />

All our rental car companies offer a large range of vehicles to cater for a single passenger, up to a large<br />

family.<br />

When choosing your rental car take into consideration the size of the vehicle you require. <strong>Europe</strong>an vehicles<br />

tend to be small in size. Think about the length of time you will be needing the car and most importantly<br />

think about how much shopping you are going to be doing – you may need extra space!<br />

Use our <strong>Europe</strong>an Car Guide on page 5 to help you choose what will suit your needs best.<br />

Rental Cars Include: Unlimited kilometres, vehicle insurance (excess will apply), 24 hour roadside<br />

assistance in case of breakdown or emergency, local tax<br />

EuroLease<br />

EuroLease allows you to own a brand new Peugeot, during your driving holiday of <strong>Europe</strong>. From 21 days to<br />

almost 6 months, the EuroLease is a tax-free scheme, enjoyed by more than 20,000 visitors to <strong>Europe</strong> every<br />

year offering huge savings to non-<strong>Europe</strong>an residents and best of all you get to drive <strong>Europe</strong> in style! You<br />

can choose either left hand drive or right hand drive vehicles depending on where you plan to spend most of<br />

your time and if you are worried about getting lost then there are a number of vehicles offering GPS systems<br />

to help you find your way. We recommend that you book your lease at least 6 weeks in advance.For more<br />

information please refer to pages 26 & 27.<br />

Lease Includes: A brand new vehicle, unlimited kilometres, anti-theft device, full comprehensive insurance<br />

with no excess for fire, theft, accident & legal protection, 24 hour Roadside assistance, no additional driver<br />

fees, no airport fees, free service at 10,000kms.<br />

Motorhomes<br />

What better way to explore <strong>Europe</strong> than being in your ‘home away from home’. Motorhomes not only include<br />

your transportation but it is also your accommodation on wheels, so no need to worry about packing and<br />

unpacking all the time.<br />

You have the freedom to explore the vast countryside’s and unique experiences away from the cities and<br />

highways. Once you have had enough for the day, park up and settle in for the night.<br />

We have motorhome options for the <strong>UK</strong> and France.<br />

Motorhomes Include: Unlimited kilometres, vehicle Insurance (excess applies), roadside assistance,<br />

additional driver fees, kitchen cooking utensils, bedding (in some cases a charge may apply).<br />

Not sure which countries you want to go to? At the back of this brochure you will find a map of <strong>Europe</strong><br />

with approximate travelling distances from country to country to help you plan your journey.<br />

drive the united kingdom<br />

drive the united kingdom<br />

Britain is full of contrasts; whichever direction you travel you will find a wide variety of landscapes and diverse cultures to<br />

explore. England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are all unique countries with their own customs, cultures and<br />

tradition. Make your self-drive holiday of the <strong>UK</strong> special by taking the scenic routes and drive along winding country lanes to<br />

delightful market towns and villages where you can explore everything from friendly pubs to centuries-old churches. The <strong>UK</strong><br />

has an excellent road network with motorways and dual carriageway roads linking many of the main cities and towns, but<br />

don’t be afraid to get off the beaten track as country roads are well surfaced and clearly sign posted.<br />

DRIVING Tips<br />

• In Britain you drive on the left hand side so it makes life simple for Kiwi<br />

travellers.<br />

SCOTLAND<br />

• Try to stay clear of the main cities especially in busy holiday times, as<br />

there can often be long delays.<br />

• If driving around in London beware of the London Congestion Fees –<br />

Look out for the red sign with a C. Current Congestion operation hours<br />

are 7am to 6.30pm Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays. Red<br />

traffic signs will make it very clear exactly where the charging zone is.<br />

You can pay the London Congestion Fee at time of collection of your<br />

rental car. For more information visit www.cclondon.com<br />

• Speed limits are in miles per hour.<br />

• Never park on yellow lines, in resident only areas or where ‘no waiting’<br />

signs are displayed. As a renter you are responsible if your hire car is<br />

clamped, towed away, or if you are fined for illegal parking.<br />

REPUBLIC<br />

OF IRELAND<br />

NORTHERN<br />

IRELAND<br />

BELFAST<br />

EDINBURGH<br />

• A good map is essential! The AA Big Road Atlas is available in New<br />

Zealand and can be purchased through map suppliers in a sturdy wire<br />

bound edition.<br />

• When coming into a larger town or city, look for the Park’n Ride car<br />

parks. These are generally on the outskirts and offer cheap parking.<br />

A bus or train is then available to take you into the city centre.<br />

• Large supermarkets often have the cheapest petrol; motorway service<br />

areas are generally more expensive.<br />

reach Saint Michael’s Mount, with a 14th century castle built on top of it.<br />

quaint and merits a stop for a coffee. Then Newlyn, the important fishing port<br />

castles of uk<br />

Castles of <strong>UK</strong><br />

Britain is blessed with stunning castles, many with history<br />

going back centuries. Over the generations these fabulous<br />

buildings have evolved into historic hotels which blend modern<br />

comforts into the grandeur and style of days gone by. Some<br />

are now internationally recognised 4-star or better hotels, while<br />

others still remain in the original family ownership, with only a<br />

few guest rooms – each one distinctive and very comfortable.<br />

With a selection of over 50 magnificent castles available,<br />

offering castle-stay and castle-view accommodation. These<br />

properties are available on request. Please ask for details.<br />

Prices range from $117 to $265 per person per night share twin<br />

including breakfast. Plus weekend and peak season supplements<br />

apply to some castles and are additional.<br />

tulloch castle studley castle the castle at taunton<br />

Tulloch Castle is a magnificent fortress<br />

dating back to the 12th century, with a ready<br />

welcome for travellers.<br />

When you arrive, you will be met with<br />

countless period features, including the<br />

250-year-old panelled Great Hall. With<br />

unrivalled hospitality, superb food and an ideal<br />

location, make this your home as you travel<br />

the Highlands. All old castles should have a<br />

ghost, and Tulloch is said to have one in the<br />

shape of the “Green Lady”. Now, just how<br />

green she is, and the details of her existence<br />

we do not know, but she has been seen over<br />

the centuries. A portrait of her hangs in the<br />

Grand Hall.<br />

Tulloch Castle has just 20 well appointed<br />

bedrooms, all with their own unique character<br />

and charm.<br />

Deep in the Warwickshire countyside set in<br />

the tranquil surroundings of its own 28-acre<br />

estate, Studley Castle is a place of great<br />

character and charm. Close to historic<br />

Stratford-Upon-Avon and the Cotswolds, the<br />

hotel was built in the Victorian times in the<br />

style of a medieval castle. With its elegant<br />

Georgian dining room and lounge, it provides<br />

the perfect setting for a unique stay. It is an<br />

ideal oasis of calm from which to explore the<br />

heritage sites and gardens of the surrounding<br />

area.<br />

The hotel has 57 high-quality bedrooms,<br />

including Suites, Superior and Standard<br />

Rooms.<br />

The Castle at Taunton is steeped in the<br />

drama and romance of English history. Once<br />

a Norman fortress, it has been welcoming<br />

travellers to the town since the 12th century.<br />

In 1685, the Duke of Monmouth’s officers were<br />

heard “roystering at the Castle Inn” before<br />

their defeat by the forces of King James II<br />

at Sedgemoor. Shortly after, Judge Jeffreys<br />

held his Bloody Assize in the Great Hall of the<br />

castle. Today the castle lives at peace with its<br />

turbulent past but preserves the atmosphere of<br />

its ancient tradition. The Chapman family has<br />

been running the hotel for 60 years and, in that<br />

time, it has acquired a worldwide reputation for<br />

the warmth of its hospitality.<br />

There are 44 luxurious, beautifully decorated<br />

bedrooms, all of a distinctive style, and a sense<br />

of home as befits a famous family-owned hotel.<br />

drive the republic of IRELAND<br />

Time may stand still in Ireland, but whatever season you arrive, there’s always time for a special moment. From the Giant<br />

Causeway to the Ring of Kerry, the whole island of Ireland welcomes you. Whether it’s the spectacular landscapes of the west<br />

coast, the vibrant history in the streets of Dublin or the vitality and spirit that oozes from the colourful pubs & restaurants,<br />

there is so much to explore. Perched at the very edge of <strong>Europe</strong>, Ireland is a land apart and the perfect destination for a selfdrive<br />

holiday.<br />

DRIVING Tips<br />

• In Ireland you drive on the left hand side so it makes life simple for kiwi<br />

travellers.<br />

• If you are driving between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland<br />

please check with your travel agent as some conditions may apply.<br />

Donegal<br />

Sligo<br />

Knock<br />

NORTHERN<br />

IRELAND<br />

BELFAST<br />

• Speed limits are in miles per hour.<br />

• The Republic of Ireland is striving toward metrication so all the new-style<br />

green and white signs will be shown in kilometres, however nothing’s<br />

quite that simple in Ireland, so expect to come across some black on<br />

white signs showing distances in miles.<br />

• Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom, therefore road signs will<br />

be shown in miles.<br />

• Pick up a driving map from one of the Tourist Information Centres in<br />

Ireland or ask for one when you collect your rental car.<br />

• If you are travelling with a valid New Zealand driver’s licence (full licence)<br />

you do not require an International Driving Permit to drive in Ireland.<br />

• It is a criminal offence to use your hand held mobile phone while driving.<br />

a taste of ireland<br />

4 days / 3 nights from Dublin<br />

a taste of ireland<br />

On this circle trip from Dublin, visit some important historic sights as well as some spectacular views along the way. <strong>Drive</strong><br />

narrow and winding roads that offer beautiful panoramas of the Irish countryside, stone walls and hilly terrain.<br />

Day 1: Dublin – Glendalough – Arklow – Enniscorthy – Wexford<br />

(Distance 151kms)<br />

South of Dublin, take the road to Enniskerry and Glendalough through the<br />

Wicklow Ranges, this road is much more picturesque than the coastal one.<br />

The visit to Glendalough’s Monastery will be one of the most interesting<br />

attractions of the whole trip. Do not miss Saint Kevin’s Church as well as<br />

the ruins of the Cathedral. The quaint port of Arklow is an old seaside resort<br />

founded by the Vikings and where the famous Gypsy Moth III was built. You<br />

will then reach the historic town of Enniscorthy on the River Sanley with its<br />

impressive Castle, before reaching Wexford an ancient city famous for its<br />

Opera Festival in October.<br />

Overnight: Wexford.<br />

Day 2: Wexford – Waterford via ferry<br />

(Distance 64kms or half that distance with the ferry)<br />

This will be a short drive but you could take a longer route via New Ross if you<br />

want to avoid the ferry across Waterford Harbour. Waterford is an important<br />

seaport with more than just the crystal factory to see. You must stroll the<br />

picturesque fishing village of Dunmore East, a few kilometers south. The<br />

quaint holiday resort of Tramore also in the vicinity is worth seeing, it is one of<br />

the main seaside resorts in Ireland and offers beautiful walks along its cliffs. Of<br />

course, the Waterford Crystal factory is not to be missed.<br />

Overnight: Waterford.<br />

Day 3: Waterford – New Ross – Kilkenny (Distance 63kms)<br />

Enjoy the scenery offered by the Kilkenny and Wexford counties. New Ross,<br />

your first stop is an old city founded in the 13th century and very pleasant with<br />

its narrow streets and passages on the River Barrow. Saint Mary’s Church is<br />

built on the site of one of the most ancient Irish churches. South of New Ross,<br />

in Dunganstown is the Kennedy Homestead, this is the place where the greatgrandfather<br />

of John Fitzgerald Kennedy was born. Kilkenny, your next night<br />

stop is a very interesting medieval city with a lot of character and charm. Its old<br />

houses and buildings are very well preserved and walking through its narrow<br />

streets is a real delight. Kilkenny’s Castle, built in the 12th century is a must<br />

as well as the Saint Canice Cathedral. Shopping is also very good here with<br />

high quality ceramics, textiles and jewellery. An interesting place for a meal is<br />

Kyteler’s Inn, a restaurant since 1324.<br />

Overnight: Kilkenny.<br />

Day 4: Kilkenny – Carlow – Kildare – Russborough House – Dublin<br />

(Distance 159kms)<br />

Carlow, has been the site of numerous battles between Irish and Anglo<br />

Normands, the last one in 1798. A picturesque road, along the canal, will<br />

lead you to Kildare, where a beautiful cathedral can be seen and marvellous<br />

Japanese gardens deserve a relaxing and enjoyable stop. Visit Russborough<br />

House, a magnificent Estate. Its location, overlooking the Poulapouca Reservoir<br />

and facing the Wicklow Range is perfect for such an elegant place. Your next<br />

stop, weather permitting, should be at Blessington, on the Reservoir, where you<br />

could rent a small boat for an enjoyable outing before reaching Dublin.<br />

Experience Ireland through the eyes of some of the most famous writers of our time. Visit the childhood homes of CS Lewis<br />

and George Bernard Shaw, and the home of Oscar Wilde. An enlightening tour of Ireland’s literary heritage.<br />

Day 1 Dublin – Belfast (Distance 199kms)<br />

From Dublin Airport travel west to County Meath to the spectacular Passage<br />

Graves at Newgrange, believed to be older than Egypt’s pyramids. <strong>Drive</strong> north<br />

to Inniskeen, County Monaghan and celebrate the life of Patrick Kavanagh at<br />

the Literary Centre of the same name. Continue on to Belfast.<br />

Overnight: Belfast.<br />

Day 2 Belfast<br />

Take your time to enjoy Belfast. Don’t miss Writer’s Square in the Cathedral<br />

Quarter, where quotes from famous local authors have been inscribed into the<br />

paving stones. Have a drink at the Crown Bar, a favourite haunt of Sir John<br />

Betjeman. Little Lea on Circular Road, was the childhood home of CS Lewis<br />

(now a private residence) and nearby St Mark’s church was where the great<br />

author was baptised and confirmed – there’s a sculpture dedicated to him<br />

outside the Holywood Arches Library. Head outside the city to Cave Hill and<br />

a spot called ‘Napoleon’s Nose’, which is thought to have inspired Jonathan<br />

Swift to create the sleeping giant in Gulliver’s <strong>Travel</strong>s.<br />

Overnight: Belfast.<br />

Day 3 Belfast – Sligo (Distance 201kms)<br />

A long drive today to Sligo, stopping off in Enniskillen, County Fermanagh, for<br />

a bite to eat along the way. In Sligo town’s tourist information office, pick up<br />

a Yeat’s Country <strong>Drive</strong> leaflet – this is a 164km circuit of sites associated with<br />

the poet and if you have a few more days to spare it’s definitely worth taking<br />

in as many of the sights as you can. Alternatively, just visit his grave in its<br />

beautiful setting at Drumcliff Church and foray to the Lake Isle of Innisfree and<br />

Lough Gill to take in the brilliant countryside.<br />

Overnight: Sligo.<br />

Day 4 Sligo – Galway (Distance 136km)<br />

Explore Galway, a lively city with its strong artistic heritage, before travelling<br />

on to Kinvara, County Galway. Dunguaire Medieval Castle hosts medieval<br />

banquets (by arrangement) where you can feast on four courses, Irish music,<br />

song and poetry by authors including the greats, WB Yeats, GB Shaw and<br />

Sean O’Casey.<br />

Overnight: Galway.<br />

Day 5 Galway – Limerick (Distance 102km)<br />

It’s just a short drive to Coole Park, near Gort, County Galway, which boasts<br />

deer, a lake and stunning nature walks. Take a peek at the ‘Autograph Tree’<br />

where authors like Yeats, Synge, O’Casey and Shaw carved their initials. Then,<br />

nip across to Thor Ballylee, where Yeats restored and lived in the 16th century<br />

stone tower with his wife soon after they married. On to Limerick, for the<br />

Angela’s Ashes Walking Tour of sights associated with this famous novel.<br />

Overnight: Limerick.<br />

Day 6 Limerick – Dublin (Distance196km)<br />

From Limerick continue to Dublin for the grand finale of your tour. Visit the<br />

Dublin Writers’ Museum, the James Joyce Centre, Oscar Wilde’s house in<br />

Merrion Square, the childhood home of George Bernard Shaw and much<br />

more. Visit the Book of Kells - a beautiful illuminated manuscript dating back<br />

to the Middle Ages or you could even take part in a literary pub tour, bringing<br />

you through the watering holes of those well-famed for their penmanship.<br />

Excellent fun for all participants and a true testament to the grand scale of<br />

Ireland’s literary heritage.<br />

DRIVING Tips<br />

PARIS<br />

FRANCE<br />

Strasbourg<br />

SWITZERLAND<br />

• The French drive on the right hand side therefore rental cars are all left<br />

hand drive.<br />

• The French word for petrol is l’essence or le diesel for Diesel.<br />

• It is a good idea to learn about the French highway code –<br />

visit it on www.legifrance.gouv.fr for more information.<br />

• Most motorways have expensive tolls but are fast and efficient for<br />

longer distances. AUSTRIA<br />

• Save money on tolls and explore France in a more leisurely way by using<br />

some of the other high-quality roads, which dissect the country.<br />

Bordeaux<br />

Lyon<br />

• A good map is essential! We recommend purchasing a good Michelin or<br />

Collins road atlas before you depart New Zealand.<br />

• Speed limits are kilometres per hour.<br />

ITALY<br />

• Large supermarkets and hypermarkets offer discounted petrol.<br />

Toulouse<br />

Marseille<br />

Nice<br />

• Try to avoid driving in central Paris, the traffic is always heavy and<br />

congested, we recommend you collect from the airport rather than<br />

central Paris.<br />

• According to the law, children up to the age of 10 years must be seated<br />

in a child safety seat or booster seat. These should be requested at time<br />

of booking.<br />

SPAIN<br />

• Children under 10 years are not allowed to be seated in the front of the<br />

vehicle.<br />

drive italy<br />

drive italy<br />

Italy sits in the heart of the Mediterranean shielded from the rest of <strong>Europe</strong> by the vast sweep of the Alps. People have been<br />

drawn to Italy in search of culture and romance for many centuries. Few countries can compete with its classical origins, its<br />

art, architecture, musical and literary traditions, its scenery or food and wine. The best way to see Italy is by car!<br />

DRIVING Tips<br />

• As many of the <strong>Europe</strong>an countries, Italians drive on the right hand side<br />

therefore rental cars are all left hand drive vehicles.<br />

• The Italian word for petrol is benzina or diesel for diesel.<br />

• Although Italy has a good network of motorways, we recommend taking<br />

the country roads which are more scenic and offer a unique experience.<br />

• A good map is essential! We recommend purchasing a good Michelin or<br />

Collins road atlas before you depart New Zealand.<br />

• Speed limits are kilometres per hour.<br />

• International Driving Permits are compulsory or a valid translation into<br />

Italian of your New Zealand driver’s licence is also acceptable (must be<br />

from an accredited translator). You can obtain a driving permit from any<br />

AA in New Zealand.<br />

• If you find you have a flat tyre, we recommend you keep driving to the<br />

nearest petrol station where possible and only let someone in uniform<br />

(station staff) assist you.<br />

• Always ensure you lock your vehicle even when driving.<br />

• Parking in main cities can be a problem so always allow plenty of time.<br />

tuscan delights<br />

8 days / 7 nights from Rome<br />

Tuscany has so much to offer, that a driving tour should be taken slowly in order to fully absorb the exceptional atmosphere<br />

Verona<br />

this region is renowned for. Beautiful cypresses, undulating valleys, magnificent medieval villages Venice appearing suddenly on top of<br />

a hill, beautifully kept vineyards, olive trees everywhere; this is Tuscany and to appreciate its wonderful scenery, lovely country<br />

roads should be taken in preference to motorways.<br />

tuscan delights<br />

Day 1: Rome – Siena (Distance 226kms)<br />

From Rome you will drive through Lazio, the area around Rome with its<br />

volcanic hills, lakes and great plains dotted with historic ruins. Siena, has a lot<br />

to offer and you should begin your visit by exploring the medieval city and the<br />

Piazza del Campo (the main square). Test your energy and go to the top of the<br />

Torre del Maggia, a famous tower providing a fantastic view of the surrounding<br />

area. The Pinacoteca Nazionale is not to be missed and is located in a 14th<br />

century Palazzo.<br />

Overnight: Hotel Italia, Siena.<br />

Day 2: Siena – Pisa (Distance 110kms)<br />

Now in the heart of Tuscany, take your time and drive leisurely to fully absorb<br />

the beauty of the countryside. We suggest a side trip to San Gimignano, a few<br />

kilometers away, to admire its unique series of Towers dating back to the 13th<br />

century. Pisa, famous for its leaning tower, is a bit more than that! The area<br />

around the Tower is called the Campo dei Miracoli and includes the Duomo,<br />

the Battistero and the Camposante (Burial ground).<br />

Overnight: Duomo, Pisa.<br />

Day 3: Pisa – Lucca (Distance 22kms)<br />

Lucca has preserved a charming atmosphere and is not touched at all by<br />

modernism. Not to be missed are the Saint Martin Cathedral and its Duomo,<br />

the Chiesa di San Michele in Foro, a church dating back to the 12th century,<br />

the Pinacoteca and its 17th century paintings. A walk through this beautiful<br />

town full of palaces, churches, squares and medieval streets is a unique<br />

experience in itself and a night here will enable you to fully absorb this<br />

enchanting atmosphere.<br />

Overnight: La Corte Dei Folleti, Lucca.<br />

Day 4 & 5: Lucca – Florence (Distance 74kms)<br />

A short drive through Tuscany, we suggest a stop on the way at Montecatini<br />

Terme, a very elegant spa resort famous for centuries for its medicinal<br />

properties. This will provide a relaxing lunch stop before the hustle and<br />

bustle of Florence. Florence is a very elegant town and the intense light of<br />

the area gives a very specific feel which has attracted many artists over the<br />

years. It is a city of Arts. The main attractions are the Piazza del Duomo with<br />

its cathedral, Campanile and the Baptistery. You must see the Piazza della<br />

Signoria, which is an open air museum with several statues, the Palazzo<br />

Vecchio and the not to be missed Galleria degli Uffizi, a fantastic museum<br />

housing works collected over centuries.<br />

Overnight: Fenice Palace, Florence.<br />

Day 6: Florence – Arezzo (Distance 81kms)<br />

<strong>Drive</strong> through a very fertile area of fruit trees and vines to the birthplace of<br />

famous artists such as the Benedictine Monk Guido d’Arezzo and the poet<br />

Petrarch as well as the painter Giorgio Vasari.<br />

Overnight: Etrusco Arezzo Hotel, Arezzo<br />

Cinque Terre<br />

Lucca<br />

Pisa<br />

Florence<br />

Siena<br />

San Marino<br />

Arezzo<br />

Montepulciano<br />

ITALY<br />

ROME<br />

Day 7: Arezzo – Montepulciano (Distance 52kms)<br />

You will see more and more vineyards as you get closer to Montepulciano, an<br />

important wine producing area – Vino Nobile – a delicious red wine which is<br />

a must to try. We suggest a short detour to Pienza, a lovely little town which<br />

can be visited in a few hours with a main street full of small shops offering the<br />

local specialty: Pecorino cheese, a variety of Parmesan with a similar taste<br />

and texture as well as a good assortment of smoked meats and hams. The<br />

Italian VILLAS<br />

We offer a wonderful selection of self-contained villas, historic farmhouses, medieval castles and apartments throughout<br />

Tuscany as well as Chianti, Umbria, Lazio, Sardinia and the Amalfi Coast and more. Explore areas rich in history and<br />

gastronomy, and sample local products such as the world renowned olive oil and wine.<br />

WHY BOOK A VILLA?<br />

The beauty of a villa holiday is having the<br />

opportunity to immerse yourself in the local way<br />

of life and soak up the atmosphere of your chosen<br />

region from a comfortable and homely base. Villas<br />

are also great for travelling with a group of friends.<br />

With a villa stay, you have the freedom to do as<br />

much or as little as you please.<br />

HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR VILLA<br />

The first step is to decide which region you’d like<br />

to visit, then how many people you’ll be travelling<br />

with. The facilities and style of each villa can<br />

vary, although all are self-contained, so it is also<br />

important to think about what you want from your<br />

villa. For example, do you wish to have a property<br />

with a pool?<br />

WHERE TO GO<br />

Italy is a land of contrasts and history – We can<br />

offer you villa and apartment stays in Italy’s most<br />

beautiful holiday destinations. These include<br />

Tuscany, Umbria, Chianti, Florence, Venice, the<br />

Amalfi Coast, Capri, Sicily and the Northern Lakes<br />

District, to name a few.<br />

Tuscany Without a doubt one of Italy’s best<br />

known holiday destinations. Tuscany is renowned<br />

for its olive oil, vineyards, rolling hills and<br />

picturesque villages and towns.<br />

Umbria This is the green heart of Italy, dotted with<br />

ancient monasteries and beautifully preserved<br />

hamlets.<br />

Amalfi Coast Overlooking the Mediterranean Sea,<br />

the Amalfi Coast area is a stunning holiday spot.<br />

Booking Conditions<br />

1 Our Services and Obligations<br />

1.1 The services within this brochure are supplied by wholesaler<br />

GO Holidays, a division of Stella <strong>Travel</strong> Services NZ. They<br />

consist of arranging and co-ordinating travel, entertainment<br />

and accommodation facilities and services, and making<br />

bookings, issuing tickets and issuing vouchers to be<br />

redeemed by suppliers.<br />

1.2 We undertake to perform these services with reasonable care<br />

and skill. We will not be liable for any loss or damage or loss<br />

of enjoyment which results from the act, default or omission<br />

of any person other than ourselves, our employees or agents,<br />

or any cause independent of human control. This includes<br />

(but is not limited to), loss, damage or loss of enjoyment<br />

which arises directly or indirectly from any act of God,<br />

weather disruptions, dangers incidental to the sea, fire,<br />

breakdown in machinery or equipment, acts of Governments<br />

or other authorities, whether legitimate or not, wars whether<br />

declared or not, hostilities, acts of terrorism, civil<br />

disturbances, strikes, lockouts, riots, deaths, pilferage,<br />

epidemics, quarantines or medical or customs regulations.<br />

1.3 We are not able to exercise control over services we do not<br />

supply directly, therefore we will not be responsible for any<br />

loss or damage arising from:<br />

• Any booking made directly with a service supplier by your<br />

travel agent or by yourself direct; or<br />

• Any services which are not provided by us and which are<br />

additional to those described in this brochure.<br />

1.4 We will endeavour to provide the most suitable travel<br />

arrangements to meet the particular requirements you make<br />

known to us. However, travel is an individual experience, and<br />

your preferences and opinions may vary from our own. For<br />

this reason, we cannot take responsibility for your individual<br />

satisfaction, neither can we take responsibility for weather nor<br />

for compatibility of fellow guests or staff during<br />

the course of your travel.<br />

2 Supply of <strong>Travel</strong>, Entertainment, Vehicle Rental &<br />

Accommodation Services and Facilities<br />

2.1 When we make bookings with the suppliers of travel,<br />

entertainment, activities, vehicle rental and accommodation<br />

facilities or services (“the Suppliers”) we are acting as a<br />

booking agent for the Suppliers.<br />

2.2 All travel, entertainment, vehicle rental, activities, and<br />

accommodation facilities or services are supplied directly to<br />

you by the Suppliers. We have no control over the facilities or<br />

services themselves, or the manner in which they are<br />

provided by the Suppliers. Therefore you should be aware of<br />

the following conditions:<br />

• We will not be liable for any loss or damage of any kind<br />

which may arise from your use or consumption of, or<br />

inability to use or consume those facilities or services.<br />

• The provision of those facilities or services is subject to the<br />

terms and conditions of your contract with each Supplier.<br />

• Where for any reason, a Supplier is unable to provide<br />

particular facilities or services, then that Supplier may be<br />

entitled, under its contract with you to substitute those<br />

services or facilities with comparable or equivalent facilities<br />

or services without incurring any liability to you. You should<br />

check your contract with each Supplier.<br />

• All facilities or services described by us are subject to<br />

availability from the Supplier.<br />

• We will not be liable or responsible for any loss or<br />

damage relating to your baggage, personal possessions,<br />

health or welfare, or delays or travel disruptions unless<br />

these arise directly from the service we provide to you.<br />

3 Business Purposes<br />

You agree that where our services are acquired for business<br />

purposes, or where you hold yourself out as acquiring our<br />

services for business purposes, the Consumer Guarantees<br />

Act 1993 will not apply to any supply of goods or services<br />

made under these conditions, and we will not be liable or<br />

responsible for any loss or damage of any kind to you,<br />

including any consequential loss or damage however it may<br />

be caused.<br />

4 Information in the Brochure<br />

4.1 This brochure was published on 23 Nov 12 and is valid for<br />

services used from 01 Apr 2013 – 31 Mar 2014 unless<br />

otherwise stated. Prices are subject to currency fluctuations.<br />

4.2 While we have exercised reasonable care and skill to ensure<br />

that the contents of this brochure are correct, accurate, and<br />

up-to-date at the time of publishing, please note that the<br />

contents of this brochure are based on information supplied<br />

to us by the Suppliers. We do not have, and cannot be<br />

reasonably expected to have, personal knowledge about all<br />

the facilities or services provided by each Supplier.<br />

4.3 Facilities or services may change after the date of<br />

publication. We endeavour to keep travel agents informed of<br />

any changes to information in this brochure which are brought<br />

to our attention. Prior to booking your ticket, you should ask<br />

your travel agents about any changes to the published<br />

information of which your agent may be aware. You should<br />

also make sure that if your travel agent is advised of changes<br />

which occur after booking, your travel<br />

agent is able to contact you.<br />

4.4 All maps, illustrations and photographs are for indicative<br />

purposes only and may not necessarily reflect actual places<br />

or positioning.<br />

5 Prices<br />

5.1 All prices shown in this brochure are on a per person basis<br />

unless otherwise stated and are expressed in New Zealand<br />

dollars. Vehicle rates are per vehicle.<br />

5.2 Events beyond our control, such as currency fluctuations,<br />

changes to the price of aviation fuel or changes to the cost of<br />

services and facilities may result in the prices charged to you<br />

being different. You should check all prices with your travel<br />

agent before making reservations, and before ticketing.<br />

5.3 Prices may also be liable to variation between the time of<br />

booking and departure. We reserve the right to vary the price<br />

up until the time of your departure.<br />

5.4 All prices exclude travel agent service fees.<br />

6 Payment<br />

6.1 A deposit will only be required in some circumstances.<br />

This will be advised to your travel agent on confirmation /<br />

invoice. Deposits are usually only required when booking<br />

Canal boats, Motorhomes, Apartments, Villas and Cottages.<br />

6.2 A communication charge / late booking fee may be applied to<br />

reservations which require urgent confirmation, or if<br />

documentation must be faxed and/or sent from our office to<br />

somewhere other than your travel agent.<br />

6.3 Final payment must be made at least 14 days prior to<br />

departure for Avis rental cars, and up to 8 weeks prior to<br />

departure for some other products. Please ask your travel<br />

agent to check payment deadlines when your reservation is<br />

confirmed.<br />

7 Amendment or Cancellation<br />

7.1 If you wish or circumstances require you to amend or cancel<br />

your booking for any reason, you should advise us in writing<br />

through your travel agent at the earliest possible time.<br />

7.2 Where you amend any booking a fee of up to $30 per<br />

amendment will apply. Where you cancel a booking you will<br />

have to pay a fee. A cancellation fee of up to $150 per<br />

booking may be imposed by GO Holidays. If documents have<br />

not been issued, this fee may be reduced.<br />

7.3 The above amendment and cancellation fees are required to<br />

offset booking, communication and administration charges<br />

which will have already been incurred by us. In addition to our<br />

amendment and cancellation fees, you may also be required<br />

to pay amendment and cancellation fees imposed by our<br />

Suppliers (i.e. vehicle hire companies, hotels, etc.)<br />

The amount of each Supplier’s fees is beyond our control,<br />

and payment is solely your responsibility. You should check<br />

with your travel agent concerning the amount of any<br />

Supplier’s amendment and cancellation fees.<br />

7.4 Some Suppliers may reserve the right to cancel or amend<br />

travel, accommodation, etc and GO Holidays must therefore<br />

reserve similar rights to cancel or amend any holiday<br />

arrangements.<br />

8 Insurance<br />

We strongly recommend that as a minimum you insure<br />

yourself fully against cancellation, disruption, loss of luggage<br />

and personal property, and medical expenses. Your travel<br />

agent will be able to provide you with further information.<br />

9 Lost or Destroyed vouchers<br />

Often lost or destroyed vouchers cannot be replaced or<br />

refunded for any accommodation plans, rail, vehicle hire,<br />

theatre, special events and sightseeing tours.<br />

10 Items Not Covered<br />

Unless otherwise specified, the cost of meals, drinks,<br />

laundry, telephone calls, insurance, sightseeing tours, local<br />

taxes, airport departure taxes, aviation and insurance levies<br />

and passport or visa application fees are not included.<br />

11 Visas / Passports<br />

For all holidays in this brochure you will require a<br />

valid passport. You are responsible for arranging your<br />

own passport, visa and health requirements (including<br />

inoculation where applicable). You should check with<br />

your travel agent who will be able to provide you with the<br />

necessary information.<br />

12 Non-Use of Services or Facilities<br />

If, of your own choice, you decide not to use part or<br />

parts of the arranged services or facilities, you will not be<br />

entitled to a refund from us (provided we have carried out our<br />

service with reasonable skill and care and to your<br />

requirements) and you may not be entitled to a refund from<br />

any Supplier.<br />

13 GO Holidays Charter for Addressing Problems<br />

In the event that you should strike a problem or you are<br />

dissatisfied with some aspect of the services or facilities<br />

during the course of your trip, our recommendation is that<br />

you take the matter up directly with the supplier of the service<br />

at the time, or as soon as practicable in the circumstances.<br />

This provides the opportunity to have the matter discussed<br />

and investigated on the spot and a remedy negotiated then<br />

and there to enable you to continue enjoying your holiday. We<br />

have found from experience that it is very difficult (in some<br />

countries impossible) for us to obtain redress for you once<br />

travel has been completed. If this does not work, we wish to<br />

be involved at the earliest possible moment and our<br />

commitment is that we will immediately work on resolving the<br />

issue to your satisfaction.<br />

14 Health or Disability<br />

Some Suppliers may reserve the right to refuse to carry or<br />

accommodate people who because of a health condition or<br />

disability may require services or facilities to be provided in a<br />

special manner. You should check this with your travel agent.<br />

15 Legal Claims<br />

Any claims or legal action in connection with the provision of<br />

our services to you will be governed by the laws of New<br />

Zealand. Any claim or legal action against the Suppliers is<br />

likely to be subject to the terms of your contract with them,<br />

and may be governed by the laws of other countries.<br />

16 Extra Hotel Nights or Car Rental Days<br />

The prices in this brochure are available only when booked<br />

and paid for in advance of your departure from New Zealand.<br />

Should you wish to obtain extra accommodation or additional<br />

car rental days when abroad, the cost will be at the normal<br />

published prices and cannot be booked through us.<br />

17 <strong>Drive</strong>r Age<br />

Minimum age requirements for hiring a rental car throughout<br />

<strong>Europe</strong> vary. Please check with GO Holidays if you are under<br />

25 years. The minimum age on the Peugeot Open <strong>Europe</strong><br />

programme is 18 years. For other vehicle suppliers, please<br />

check with GO Holidays.<br />

18 <strong>Drive</strong>r Qualifications<br />

All drivers are required to produce a current non-provisional<br />

drivers licence valid in their country of permanent residence.<br />

The licence must have been held for at least one year. In<br />

some countries an International Driving Permit is also<br />

required.<br />

19 Car Rental Periods<br />

Car rental days are calculated on 24 hour periods, i.e. Mon<br />

0800 – Tue 0800 is 1 day. Peugeot EuroLease days are<br />

calculated on calendar days, i.e. Mon 0800 – Tue 0800 is 2<br />

days. Please check with GO Holidays as to how other<br />

suppliers calculate their rental days.<br />

Please Read These<br />

Conditions Carefully<br />

The guarantees under the Consumer<br />

Guarantees Act will apply to services<br />

supplied by us except where they are<br />

acquired, or are held out as being<br />

acquired for business purposes.
