We are registered in Ireland under company number 93433 and have our registered office at Classon House, Dundrum Business Park, Dundrum, Dublin 14, Ireland which is also our main trading address.

CarTrawler facilitates Transportation bookings by introducing you to Transportation Suppliers through this booking engine. CarTrawler does not own or operate any Transportation and is not a Transportation Supplier. Your contract for Transportation (“Transportation Conditions”) will be between you and the Transportation Supplier to which CarTrawler will not be a party. The relevant Transportation Conditions can be accessed through this booking engine once you select Transportation offered by such Transportation Supplier and insert relevant booking information. On making a booking with a Transportation Supplier through this booking engine, you are bound by and deemed to have accepted the Transportation Conditions of the relevant Transportation Supplier. CarTrawler makes no warranty or representation in relation to any Transportation Supplier and/or any Transportation offered or provided by any Transportation Supplier. The Transportation Supplier is solely responsible for providing you with Transportation booked through this booking engine.

FEES AND CHARGES

The accuracy of any price quoted for Transportation via this booking engine and any booking made on this booking engine is dependent upon and subject to the booking information you provide via this booking engine (including but not limited to the age of the driver, location and time of pick up and/or drop off).

SERVICE ACCESS

While CarTrawler endeavors to ensure that the booking engine is normally available 24 hours a day, CarTrawler will not be liable if, for any reason, the booking engine is unavailable at any time or for any period. Access to the booking engine may be suspended temporarily and without notice in the case of system failure, maintenance, repair or for reasons beyond CarTrawler’s control.

BOOKING CONDITIONS

Please read the following conditions which apply to bookings made by you with Transportation Suppliers through this booking engine.

A. Making a Booking

As CarTrawler operates globally, it uses four types of business payment model for booking Transportation. The payment model available to you when making a booking will depend upon your location and/or the Transportation Conditions of the Transportation Supplier selected.

The four business payment models are as follows:
You pay a booking deposit at the time of making your booking and you pay the balance to the Transportation Supplier on arrival at the Transportation Supplier’s desk prior to use of the Transportation; or
You pay a booking deposit at the time of making your booking and the balance is paid in advance of your arrival at the Transportation Supplier’s desk; or
You pay the entire cost of the Transportation at the time of making your booking and, in the case of car hire, you only pay for fuel (petrol/diesel) and optional extras on arrival at the Transportation Supplier’s desk; or
You pay nothing at the time of making your booking. You will pay the Transportation Supplier the entire cost of the Transportation on arrival to the Transportation Supplier’s desk prior to use of the Transportation.

Please note that where you have not made a payment at the time of making your booking you are solely responsible for making all outstanding payments due to the Transportation Supplier as and when they fall due.

You will be informed of any upfront payment required prior to completing your booking. For the avoidance of doubt, the price of any “optional extras” (including, but not limited to, child seats, GPSs, additional drivers) requested by you when making your booking will not be charged to you at the time of making the booking. Payment of “optional extras” must be made directly to the Transportation Supplier on arrival at the Transportation Supplier’s desk before pick-up/use of the Transportation. Please note that CarTrawler cannot guarantee the availability or price of any “optional extras” requested.

At all times, you are responsible for payment of any additional services and/or “optional extras” requested and/or purchased by you and any additional applicable charges including, but not limited to tolls and fuel charges and you are responsible for any service or administration charges applied by the relevant Transportation Supplier. We support a number of payment methods for making a booking through the booking engine depending on your location, which will be clearly displayed within the booking engine.

Any data transferred to a payment processer is transferred through an encrypted secure server. If you need to make any amendments to your booking, you must either communicate this through one of the communication methods listed on your Voucher or via our website at www.cartrawler.com, clearly informing CarTrawler of the exact details. CarTrawler cannot guarantee that amendments can be processed; however every effort will be made to reach a satisfactory outcome. Amendments cannot be processed after pick-up/use of, or failure to pick-up or use, your Transportation from the Transportation Supplier. For car hire, CarTrawler is unable to offer you a refund if you end your hire early. In the event that you require an extension of your car hire period after the pick-up of your hired car (dates not covered by the car hire voucher), you must pay any additional costs incurred directly to the Transportation Supplier at the local rental rates prevailing at that time. On making a booking, it is your responsibility to inform the Transportation Supplier, if necessary, of any physical or mental condition relevant to your ability to operate or use the Transportation. In the event of an accident, you may not be able to claim under any relevant insurance policy if you fail to inform the Transportation Supplier of such conditions.

IN THE EVENT OF A FAILURE TO PRESENT THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTS AND/OR CREDIT CARD, THE CAR HIRE SUPPLIER MAY REFUSE TO RELEASE THE CAR AND NO REFUND WILL BE GIVEN. FOR CAR HIRE, ON THE PICK-UP OF YOUR CAR, YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO PRESENT (I) A FULL DRIVING LICENSE FROM YOUR COUNTRY OF ORIGIN (BOTH PARTS IN THE CASE OF A LICENSE ISSUED IN THE UNITED KINGDOM WHICH IS ISSUED IN TWO PARTS), (II) YOUR VALID PASSPORT AND A VALID CREDIT CARD IN THE NAME OF THE PERSON LISTED AS THE MAIN DRIVER ON THE BOOKING WITH SUFFICIENT AVAILABLE FUNDS TO COVER THE EXCESS ON ANY INSURANCE POLICY RELATED TO THE CAR HIRE (AS APPLICABLE), AND (III) A PRINTED COPY OF YOUR VOUCHER. PLEASE REVIEW YOUR TRANSPORTATION CONDITIONS FOR ANY FURTHER AND/OR ALTERNATIVE REQUIREMENTS OF THE TRANSPORTATION SUPPLIER AND/OR LOCAL LAW. FOR EXAMPLE, IN THE UNITED KINGDOM PROOF OF ADDRESS MAY ALSO BE REQUIRED.

If you make a booking but do not pick-up/use the Transportation (and have not cancelled such booking in accordance with the cancellation policy set out below), no refund will be given.

Please be advised that in the event that you expect to arrive late to pick-up/avail of the booked Transportation it is your responsibility to contact the Transportation Supplier to inform them.

In the event of a flight cancellation or delay, CarTrawler will not be responsible for providing any refunds.

B. Confirmation of Booking

Once your booking has been confirmed, CarTrawler will issue you with your Transportation voucher (“Voucher”) via e-mail on behalf of the Transportation Supplier, which includes the details of your booking and must be printed and presented to the Transportation Supplier at the time of pick-up/use of the Transportation. If you do not receive your Voucher please contact us immediately. The Voucher does not include details of the service charge or taxes charged by the Transportation Supplier or additional services requested by you at the time of pick-up/use of the Transportation and it is not an invoice. CarTrawler recommends that you carefully check the details contained in the Voucher (e.g. country, location, date and period of time for which the Transportation has been booked). If there are any discrepancies, you should immediately communicate such discrepancies either through one of the communication methods listed on your Voucher or via our website www.cartrawler.com, clearly informing CarTrawler of the exact details of such discrepancies. CarTrawler reserves the right to amend the booking after the relevant Transportation has been booked by you in the event of the discovery of an error in respect of the booking and/or incorrect information having been displayed through the CarTrawler booking engine or communicated to you in the Voucher or otherwise. Where this happens CarTrawler will endeavour to notify you as soon as reasonably practicable and you may elect to accept the amended terms (if applicable) or, alternatively, cancel your booking and receive a full refund. CarTrawler does not physically store Vouchers, however your Voucher will be accessible through the “Manage Booking” tab of the booking engine in the event you wish to access your Voucher at any time. You will need to print a copy of your Voucher and present it to the Transportation Supplier prior to pick-up/use of the Transportation. CarTrawler advises that you read the Transportation Conditions detailed in the Voucher to which your booking will be subject. The Transportation Conditions are also available on this booking engine but may be changed by the Transportation Supplier from time to time.

The booking number included on the Voucher should be quoted for all enquiries, cancellations or modifications of the booking.

C. Cancellations

If you wish to cancel a booking, you may do so through one of the communication methods listed on your Voucher or via our website, www.cartrawler.com in advance of the time of pick-up/use of the Transportation. Do not cancel your booking with the Transportation Supplier directly, as additional fees may apply. Please see the Transportation Conditions for details on the cancellation policy, any handling/administration fees, and any special conditions that may apply to your booking.

Save as otherwise set out in this section where CarTrawler receives a cancellation notice more than 24 hours before the scheduled time of pick-up/use of the Transportation, a full refund of the amount paid will, in general, be granted. In respect of car hire bookings, where CarTrawler receives a cancellation notice less than 24 hours before the scheduled time of pick-up/use of the car hire, you will, where the amount already paid for the booking exceeds €50, receive a refund of the amount paid minus the €50 cancellation fee. In respect of ground transportation bookings, where CarTrawler receives a cancellation notice less than 24 hours before the scheduled time of pick-up/use of the ground transportation, no refund of the amount will be paid. Please note that the cancellation policy set out in this paragraph, is subject to the Transportation Supplier’s cancellation policy contained in any Transportation Conditions applicable to your booking. Please consult your Transportation Conditions for any variation from the cancellation policy set out in this paragraph which may include, but is not limited to, a variation in the (i) cancellation notice period required and/or (ii) amount of any applicable cancellation fee. In the event of a cancellation of a booking when the entire Transportation fee is payable on arrival, there is no fee for a cancellation.

Please note that no cancellations or refunds may be available in respect of certain types of Transportation including, but not limited, coach, bus and/or train. Please review the cancellation and refund policy of the relevant Transportation Supplier contained in the Transportation Conditions for full details of such policies.

It is your responsibility to ensure and arrange cancellation of any ancillary product and/or service that you may have purchased in conjunction with your Transportation booking. This includes, but is not limited to, products such as No Excess Insurance cover provided by third parties.

In the event that you cancel or amend a credit/debit card booking, CarTrawler will not be liable for any monetary losses suffered by you as a result of a change in monetary exchange rates between the time of your original booking and its subsequent cancellation or amendment. No cancellation is permitted after the date and time that the pick-up/use of the Transportation is due to commence.

D. Transportation Pricing & Exchange Rates

CarTrawler makes every effort to ensure that prices quoted for Transportation displayed through the booking engine are accurate in all material respects at all times including, but not limited to, the time you book such Transportation via this booking engine. Nonetheless, CarTrawler and or the Transportation Supplier reserves the right to amend the price of Transportation after the relevant Transportation has been booked by you in the event of a manifest or patent error in the price quoted. Where this happens CarTrawler will endeavour to notify you as soon as reasonably practicable and you may elect to either pay the amended price or, alternatively, cancel your booking and receive a full refund. The foreign exchange rates used by CarTrawler to display prices in the currency chosen by you are updated frequently. Foreign exchange rates used by your credit card or debit card company may vary. CarTrawler is not responsible for any discrepancy between the price displayed via this booking engine and the amount charged by your credit card or debit card company due to the rate of exchange used.

E. Complaints Procedure

Complaints must be communicated through one of the communication methods listed on your Voucher or via our website www.cartrawler.com and must be received within 30 days of completion of your use of the Transportation (drop-off date of car rental or date when ground transportation service was scheduled to end). Complaints received after this time will not be processed. In the event that the complaint is not resolved through the CarTrawler complaints procedure, you may refer to the On-line Dispute Resolution Platform at http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/ for further information on available dispute resolution procedures.
