The Client ACKNOWLEDGES that it has selected the itinerary and destination(s) constituting the Booking based on information gleaned from the internet. He/she ALSO ACKNOWLEDGES that the internet Booking has been compiled and is managed and updated by the Principal, and that Point A To B Travel and Tours has no control over information compiled by the Principal. Accordingly POINT A TO B TRAVEL AND TOURS CANNOT AND DOES NOT GUARANTEE that the itinerary and/or any destinations will comply in whole or in part with those advertised on the internet by or on behalf of the Principal. Any right of recourse in that regard will be against the Principal. in addition to the above Point A To B Travel and Tours cannot be held liable for incorrect availability being displayed by the Principal and we cannot be held liable if the seats selected are not available.
The Payment is due immediately by Visa, Master, American Express or Diners Credit Card or Electronic Funds Transfer, or Cash Deposit at a bank, whichever is applicable, and must reflect in the bank account of Point A To B Travel and Tours by midnight South African time on the day that the Booking was made. If the Payment is not received as stated above, Point A To B Travel and Tours or Principal involved RESERVES THE FULL RIGHT TO CANCEL THE BOOKING, in which event the full Payment (less any cancellation and administration fees) shall be refunded to the Client within 48 hours of the cancellation being processed. In the event that the Payment was made after the aforementioned deadline, and should Point A To B Travel and Tours inform the Client by means of a revised Quote that the Booking remains available at a higher price, the Client may choose to proceed with the Booking at such higher price, in which event the CLIENT WILL BE LIABLE for any difference between the original Quote and such higher price, and the revised Payment must reflect in the bank account of Point A To B Travel and Tours before the deadline stipulated in the revised Quote in order to secure the Booking.

Point A To B Travel and Tours is a South African company and all transactions are processed in South African Rand. The applicable conversion charges (‘Additional Charges’) may therefore be levied by your merchant bank if payment is made from another country and/or in another currency other than South African Rand. The Additional Charges are driven by the global treasury of the applicable credit card and are impacted by the change in daily exchange rates. Point A To B Travel and Tours shall therefore NOT BE HELD LIABLE for any Additional Charges levied by the applicable merchant, or bank pursuant to the confirmation of a Booking. Point A To B Travel and Tours does not offer credit, unless otherwise agreed.
Quotes are provided at the ruling daily exchange rate. Until Point A To B Travel and Tours has received Payment, we RESERVE THE RIGHT to amend any Quote. Should the Quote be increased as a result of an exchange rate fluctuation, the CLIENT UNDERTAKES TO PAY FOR ANY INCREASE ON DEMAND. Any decrease in the QUOTE prior to the date of Payment will be reflected in the Quote itself. The onus will be on the Client to check that there have been no changes in the Quote prior to making the Payment. Airfares are subject to the price and conditions quoted by the airlines. However, once Payment has been received, the Quote is guaranteed, PROVIDED THAT the payment was made by midnight on the day that the Booking was made. Should the Client be a group booking and the group number deviate from the number required for the Booking, the PRINCIPAL MAY RESERVE THE RIGHT to re-cost the Quote and raise a surcharge. Should any Client refuse to accept and pay such surcharge, it may result in the Principal CANCELLING THE BOOKING AND RETAINING any payment made and Point A To B Travel and Tours will be entitled to retain any service fees charged. Point A To B Travel and Tours accepts no liability for bookings that have been cancelled because no payment has been forthcoming.
These fees cover the costs incurred by Point A To B Travel and Tours in booking and servicing your travel reservation. We also reserve the right to charge an additional service fee for any additional services rendered, such as cancellation requests or changes to your booking.
Please be advised that service fees and products are non-refundable in case of a cancellation. Service fees vary depending on the number of Passengers in a booking, the service provider or the destination and the service being provided. Should you book online these fees will be clearly displayed on the payments page before your booking is confirmed. Should you book with an agent these will appear on your quotation.
An amendment fee per Booking may be levied for any changes to the confirmed itinerary and or ticket. The Travel Agent’s amendment fee is charged in addition to any amendment fees which may be charged by the relevant Principal.
The proposed travel arrangements are made on the EXPRESS CONDITION that Point A To B Travel and Tours, its employees and agents, shall not be responsible for, and shall be exempt from, all liability in respect of loss, damage (including loss of profits or consequential or special damages), accident, injury, illness, harm, trauma, death, delay or inconvenience (collectively, ‘Losses’) to any Client (which shall be deemed to include the heirs, executors, administrators or assigns of the Client), their luggage, or other property, wherever, whenever and however the same may occur (except if such Losses arise directly or indirectly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Point A To B Travel and Tours or any person acting for or controlled by Point A To B Travel and Tours, in which case such claim shall be lodged in writing with Point A To B Travel and Tours within 30 (thirty) days after the occurrence of the alleged Loss. The CLIENT INDEMNIFIES AND HOLDS HARMLESS Point A To B Travel and Tours or any person acting for or controlled by Point A To B Travel and Tours accordingly.
It is STRONGLY ADVISED that all Clients take out adequate insurance cover in order to cover instances such as cancellation due to illness or injury, personal accident and personal liability, loss of or damage to baggage and sports equipment. (Note that this is not an exhaustive list). Point A To B Travel and Tours will NOT BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE if the Client fails to take adequate insurance cover. It shall not be obligatory upon Point A To B Travel and Tours to effect insurance for the Client (since this service does not fall within the scope of the Services) except upon detailed instructions given in writing by the Client. All insurance effected by Point A To B Travel and Tours pursuant to such instruction will be subject to such exceptions and conditions as may be imposed by the insurance company or underwriters accepting the risk. Point A To B Travel and Tours shall NOT BE OBLIGED to obtain separate cover for any risks so excluded. Should the insurers dispute their liability for any reason, the Client will have recourse against the insurers only. Please note that various credit card companies offer limited levels of travel insurance, which in Point A To B Travel and Tours’ view may not be sufficient cover for international travel. The CLIENT IS ADVISED to check with their respective credit card companies in order to obtain the specific details of the cover offered and determine whether this is sufficient for the Client’s requirements.
Documents (for example booking confirmations, itineraries etc.) shall only be prepared and released to the Client on receipt of the Payment. The new regulations require that all parents arriving, transiting, and departing from SA are to produce an unabridged birth certificate for their children under the age of 18 years. Families not in possession of these documents will be refused to travel. In the case where only one parent is travelling with the children, consent in the form of an affidavit from the other parent registered is required. Alternatively, either a court order granting full parental responsibilities and rights, or a death certificate of the other parent must be produced.
Upon confirming your booking, we advise you to CHECK THE SPELLING OF YOUR AND ALL PASSENGER’S NAMES and ensure that it is as per the passport/identity document. Should the spelling of any traveler’s name not match the passport/identity document the airline may not allow you to board the plane or should you require a name change, and should it be permissible, airline penalties may apply. Please note that some airlines do not allow name changes for any reason whatsoever and may require you to buy a completely new ticket. Point A To B Travel and Tours accepts no liability in this regard.
It is ENTIRELY THE CLIENT’S RESPONSIBILITY to ensure that all passports and visas are current, valid, obtained on time, have sufficient blank pages, will be valid for six months after return to their home country and that any vaccinations, inoculations, prophylactic (e.g., for malaria) and the like, where required, have been obtained. The Client is STRONGLY ADVISED to check the relevant requirements for their destination and any transit countries before travelling.
Before booking any flight, it is important to check if a transit visa will be required. As this differs between countries and what passport you are holding it is always best to check with the embassy of the transiting country. For example, if you are the holder of a South African passport and are travelling on British Airways to Madrid via London you may require a transit visa.
Point A To B Travel and Tours will endeavor to assist the Client if requested, but such assistance will be at Point A To B Travel and Tours’ discretion (since this service does not fall within the scope of the Services) and the Client acknowledges that in doing so, Point A To B Travel and Tours IS NOT ASSUMING ANY OBLIGATION OR LIABILITY AND THE CLIENT INDEMNIFIES POINT A TO B TRAVEL AND TOURS against any consequences of the Client’s failure to comply with any such requirements. It is the CLIENT’S DUTY to familiarize him/herself with the inherent dangers of and mental and/or physical condition required for the proposed travel arrangements.
Certain parts covered by the Client’s itinerary may be areas where there is a HIGH-RISK of malaria and other tropical diseases such as yellow fever. It is ENTIRELY THE CLIENT’S RESPONSIBILITY to check if any parts of their itinerary fall in high-risk areas and the Client is STRONGLY ADVISED to take the necessary precautions in this regard and hence we recommend that the Client checks with their medical practitioner and/or travel clinic well before departure.
In the event of the Client cancelling the Booking, Point A To B Travel and Tours shall have the RIGHT TO EITHER CLAIM the amount of, or retain an amount of the Payment and claim reasonable damages suffered by Point A To B Travel and Tours, provided that Point A To B Travel and Tours shall not impose any cancellation fee or claim any damages in respect of a Booking or reservation if the Client is unable to honor the Booking or reservation due to the death or hospitalization of the Client. The Principals may reserve the RIGHT TO CANCEL any services prior to departure, in which event the Payment (less Point A To B Travel and Tours’ service fee) will be refunded by the Principal to the Client without any further obligation on the part of Point A To B Travel and Tours. Point A To B Travel and Tours will CHARGE A FEE for processing the request for refund. Clients should refer to the “Refunds” section of these Conditions, as well as the cancellation provisions contained in the Principal’s Conditions or the Sites. Principals may charge cancellation fees over and above the cancellation fees charged by Point A To B Travel and Tours in terms of this Condition.
Please note that should you have booked a ticket with more than one flight (e.g.: CPT – JHB – MAU) you may only use your tickets in the sequence they were booked. If you do not check in for your first flight the Airline reserves the right to cancel all of the remaining flights on that ticket and your ticket will become invalid. You will not get any money refunded for parts of the tickets not used.
In the unlikely event of there being an unscheduled extension to the final itinerary caused by flight re-scheduling, flight delays, bad weather, strikes or any other cause which is beyond the control of Point A To B Travel and Tours, its agents or the Principal, any EXPENSES RELATING TO SUCH UNSCHEDULED EXTENSIONS (HOTEL ACCOMMODATION ETC.) WILL BE FOR THE CLIENT’S ACCOUNT. The Client should confirm whether any of these expenses may be covered by travel insurance, should this be applicable. it is the Client’s responsibility to confirm the specific provisions of the travel insurance. In most instances the Principal/s will make the change/s/disruption/s known to Point A To B Travel and Tours and in this instance, time permitting, Point A To B Travel and Tours will make every effort to pass this information onto you using the contact details provided at the time of making the booking. Please note that it is the Principal’s duty to inform the person who made the booking of any changes to the booking, however there are times when this information is not timeously relayed so it is important to ensure that when travelling you have access to the email address used at the time of making the booking. It is also recommended that both 72 hours and 24 hours before flying you confirm your itinerary both when departing from your country of origin and when making your return journey. Once checked in you will be notified in the unlikely event of changes to your flight. Point A To B Travel and Tours cannot be held liable for failing to advise you of any changes, even when these changes had been communicated by the Principal/s to us as there may be delays in relaying this information to you, due to operating hours or technical delays.
While every effort is made to keep to the final itinerary, the Principals reserve the right to make changes intended for the Client’s convenience e.g. in some cases, weather conditions can necessitate an alteration in the itinerary. Any such variations in the final itinerary do not constitute any reason for a refund and Point A To B Travel and Tours shall NOT BE HELD LIABLE for any such variations. IT IS THE CLIENT’S RESPONSIBILITY to check each amendment to the itinerary. Please note that no passenger who has not utilized an outgoing flight on a return ticket will be allowed to make use of the return trip, except where, should it be permissible, prior arrangement has been made with the airline.
Promotional products and packages offered on promotion and under discounted rates are valid for a limited period. Any deposits or payments made in full for confirmed bookings during this period are non-refundable, non-exchangeable or non-changeable (subject to the Consumer Protection Act), unless otherwise specified at the time of booking. Deposits only apply to offline bookings, as agreed between the Client and Point A To B Travel and Tours.
The person listed as the driver of the vehicle must present a South African driver’s license or an international driver’s license when renting a car overseas. When collecting a car rental the driver must also have a valid credit card to present at the time of collection. The credit card must be in the name of the driver of the vehicle. If a credit card was used to pay for the booking, in most cases it should be the same card. Please be aware that specific terms and conditions of selected car rental companies will apply to your booking. Please note that should the specific terms and conditions of the Service Provider not be listed, you should ensure that you make an effort to locate them and peruse them before making your booking.
These Conditions shall be governed by the law of South Africa and the jurisdiction of South African courts will govern the relationship between the Client and Point A To B Travel and Tours. Point A To B Travel and Tours SHALL BE ENTITLED to institute any legal proceedings arising out of or in connection with this contract in any Magistrates Court having jurisdiction in terms of Section 28 of the Magistrates Court Act no. 32/1944 as amended, notwithstanding that the amount in issue may exceed the limits of such jurisdiction.
Clients who have special requests must specify such requests in writing to Point A To B Travel and Tours at least 48 hours prior to their outbound flight. Whilst Point A To B Travel and Tours will use its best endeavors to accommodate any such requests, it does NOT GUARANTEE that it will always be able to do so.
Point A To B Travel and Tours reserves the right to make changes to these terms and conditions without further notice to the Client. In this instance the terms and conditions applicable at the time of making the booking will remain relevant to the respective booking.
NO REFUNDS will be considered in any circumstances whatsoever by Point A To B Travel and Tours if the Client has not purchased the “Trip Cancellation and Refund Guarantee Product” at the time of making the booking. Refunds by the Principals will be subject to their respective terms and conditions. Point A To B Travel and Tours will charge a fee for processing a request for refund. Principals may charge refund fees above those stated here. Some air tickets are completely non-refundable according to airline fare rules. Cancellations for any reason whatsoever, including medical reasons, death in the family, strikes, wars, weather, natural disasters, airline default or government travel warnings will not entitle you to any refund in the case of non-refundable tickets nor of waiving the cancellation penalties in the case that the tickets can be refunded. If tickets can be refunded, cancellation penalties are imposed by the airline. Trip cancellation and interruption insurance are therefore highly recommended. For the best coverage, travel insurance should be purchased at the same time as the airline tickets.
Once we have established the possible refund you are entitled to, we will request it with the airline or hotel on your behalf. For flight bookings the refund will be made by the airline directly to the account the booking was originally paid with. This can take as long as 6 (six) months to a year or longer to obtain from the airline. Standard processing time for refunds is 6 to 8 weeks depending on the airline. For hotel bookings, the supplier will refund Point A To B Travel and Tours and we’ll refund the credit card you used when making your reservation. This usually takes approximately 4 weeks.
Foreign Exchange Regulation Compliance is EXCLUSIVELY THE CLIENT’S RESPONSIBILITY. This will apply especially when the Client instructs Point A To B Travel and Tours to make and pay for travel arrangements on the internet.
It is the CLIENT’S EXCLUSIVE RESPONSIBILITY to ensure that he/she is in possession of all relevant travel documents prior to commencing with his/her travels. For example, the Client must be ready to show their passport or identity document and e-ticket at the check-in counter of the airline concerned, or, to the extent applicable, their passport or identity document at the check-in counter for their accommodation. Certain airlines require the physical credit card, used to make payment, to be presented at check-on or a copy of the credit card and the card-holders ID, in addition the above-mentioned documents. The requirement to have a valid passport or identity document an/or an unabridged birth certificate will apply to all members of a travelling party and for each minor travelling (including infants).
If the Client requests or instructs Point A To B Travel and Tours to effect bookings via the internet, the Client IRREVOCABLY AUTHORIZES Point A To B Travel and Tours to do the following on its behalf (1) make any selections of and for the proposed travel arrangements (2) inform the Client of the prices attached to the proposed travel arrangements PRIOR TO CONFIRMING the booking and (3) make payment for such booking and ancillary services.
