Introduction TCs
These terms and conditions, as may be amended from time to time, apply to all our services directly made available online, through any device, by email or by telephone. By accessing, browsing and using our (mobile) websites or any of our applications through whatever platform (hereafter collectively referred to as the "Platform") and/or by completing a reservation, you acknowledge and agree to have read, understood and agreed to the terms and conditions set out below (including the Privacy Policy).
These pages, the content and infrastructure of these pages, and the online reservation service (including the facilitation of payment service) provided by us on these pages and through the website are owned, operated and provided by FinalPrice Travel Ltd (registrar of companies registration number 13362268, with registered office Westwood House Annie Med Lane, South Cave, Brough, England, HU15 2HG, United Kingdom) and are provided for your personal, non-commercial (B2C) use only (not allowed to re-sell), subject to the terms and conditions set out below. The relationship that we have with the Trip Providers are governed by separate terms and conditions which govern the (B2B) commercial relationship we have with each of these Trip Providers. Each Trip Provider acts in a professional manner vis-à-vis FinalPrice Travel Ltd when making its product and/or service available on or through FinalPrice Travel Ltd (both for its business-to-business ("B2B") and/or business-to-consumer ("B2C") relationship). Please note that Trip Providers may have, declare applicable and/or require (acceptance of) – in addition to the policies and fine print as disclosed on the website, their own (delivery / shipping / carriage / usage) terms and conditions and house rules for the use, access and consummation of the Trip (which may include certain disclaimers and limitations of liability).

"FinalPrice", "us", "we" or "our" means FinalPrice Travel Ltd, a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the United Kingdom, and having its registered address at Westwood House Annie Med Lane, South Cave, Brough, England, HU15 2HG, United Kingdom. "Platform" means the (mobile) websites and apps on which the Trip Service is made available owned, controlled, managed, maintained and/or hosted by FinalPrice. "Trip" means the various different travel products and services that can be ordered, acquired, purchased, bought, paid, rented, provided, reserved, combined or consummated by you from the Trip Provider.
"Trip Provider" means the provider of accommodation (e.g. hotel, motel, bed & breakfast, consolidator), transportation provider (e.g. car rentals, airlines, rail), and any other travel or related product or service as from time to time available for Trip Reservation on the Platform (whether B2B or B2C).
"Trip Service" means the online purchase, order, (facilitated) payment or reservation service as offered or enabled by FinalPrice in respect of various products and services as from time to time made available by Trip Providers on the Platform.
"Trip Reservation" means the order, purchase, payment, booking/reservation of a Trip.
Scope and Nature of Our Service
Through the Platform, we provide an online platform through which relevant visitors of the Platform can discover, search, compare, and make an order, reservation, purchase or payment of products and services provided by Trip Providers. By using or utilising the Trip Service (e.g. by making a Trip Reservation through the Trip Service), you enter into a direct (legally binding) contractual relationship with the Trip Provider in which you make a reservation or purchase a product or service (as applicable). From the point at which you make your Trip Reservation, we act solely as an intermediary between you and the Trip Provider. We transmit the relevant details of your Trip Reservation to the relevant Trip Provider(s) and send you a confirmation email for and on behalf of the Trip Provider.
When rendering our Trip Service, the information that we disclose is based on the information provided to us by Trip Providers. Although we will use reasonable skill and care in performing our Trip Service, we will not verify if, and cannot guarantee that, all information is accurate, complete or correct, nor can we be held responsible for any errors (including manifest and typographical errors), any interruptions (whether due to any (temporary and/or partial) breakdown, repair, upgrade or maintenance of our Platform or otherwise), inaccurate, misleading or untrue information or non-delivery of information. Each Trip Provider remains responsible at all times for the accuracy, completeness and correctness of the (descriptive) information (including the rates/fees/prices, policies & conditions and availability) displayed on our Platform. Our Platform does not constitute and should not be regarded as a recommendation or endorsement of the quality, service level, qualification or (star) rating, type of accommodation of any Trip Provider (or its facilities, venue, vehicles, (main or ancillary) products or services) made available, save as explicitly indicated or set out otherwise.
Our Trip Service is made available for personal and non-commercial use only. Therefore, you are not allowed to re-sell, deep-link, use, copy, monitor (e.g. spider, scrape), display, download or reproduce any content or information, software, reservations, tickets, products or services available on our Platform for any commercial or competitive activity or purpose.
Prices
The prices as offered by the Trip Providers on our Platform are highly competitive. All prices for your Trip are displayed including VAT/sales tax and all other taxes (subject to change of such taxes) and fees, unless stated differently on our Platform or the confirmation email. Applicable fees and taxes (including tourist/city tax) may be charged by the Trip Provider in the event of a no-show or cancellation.
Sometimes cheaper rates are available on our Platform for a specific stay, product or service, however, these rates made available by Trip Providers may carry special restrictions and conditions, for example non-cancelable and non-refundable. Please check the relevant product, service and reservation conditions and details thoroughly for any such conditions prior to making your reservation.
The currency converter is for information purposes only and should not be relied upon as accurate and real time; actual rates may vary.
Obvious errors and mistakes (including misprints) are not binding. All special offers and promotions are marked as such. If they are not labeled as such, you cannot derive any rights in the event of obvious errors or mistakes.
Partner offer
FinalPrice may display offers that are not directly sourced from Trip Providers but are facilitated by a FinalPrice partner company, such as another platform (Partner offer). Partner offers will be clearly displayed and distinguished from the regular offers directly sourced from Trip Providers and have the following special conditions, unless mentioned otherwise on our Platform:
- Price policy: as displayed on our Platform.
- Pay in advance: You’ll pay securely with FinalPrice at the time of the booking.
- No modifications: Once your booking is completed, any changes to your personal or booking details will not be possible. Requests can be made directly with the property/airline/car rental company, but are not guaranteed.
Payment, Cancellation, No-Show and fine print
If applicable and available, certain Trip Providers offer the opportunity for Trip Reservations to be paid (wholly or partly and as required under the payment policy of the Trip Provider) to the Trip Provider during the Trip Reservation process by means of secure online payment (all to the extent offered and supported by your bank). For certain products and services, FinalPrice facilitates (through third party payment processors) the payment of the relevant product or service (i.e. the payment facilitation service) for and on behalf of the Trip Provider (FinalPrice never acts nor operates as the merchant of record). Payment is safely processed from your credit/debit card or bank account to the bank account of the accommodation provider through a third party payment processor. Any payment facilitated by us for and on behalf of, and transferred to the Trip Provider will in each case constitute a payment of (part of) the booking price by you of the relevant product or service in final settlement of such (partial) due and payable price and you cannot reclaim such paid monies.
For certain (non-refundable) rates or special offers, please note that Trip Providers may require that payment is made upfront by credit/debit card, and therefore your credit card may be pre-authorised or charged (sometimes without any option for refund) upon making the Trip Reservation. Please check the (reservation) details of your product or service of choice thoroughly for any such conditions prior to making your Trip Reservation. You will not hold FinalPrice liable or responsible for any (authorized, (allegedly) unauthorized or wrong) charge by the Trip Provider and not (re)claim any amount for any valid or authorized charge by the Trip Provider (including for pre-paid rates, no-show and chargeable cancellation) of your credit card.
By making a Trip Reservation with a Trip Provider, you accept and agree to the relevant cancellation and no-show policy of that Trip Provider, and to any additional (delivery) terms and conditions of the Trip Provider that may apply to your Trip (including the fine print of the Trip Provider made available on our Platform and the relevant house rules of the Trip Provider), including for services rendered and/or products offered by the Trip Provider. The relevant (delivery/purchase/use/carrier) terms and conditions of a Trip Provider can be obtained with the relevant Trip Provider. The general cancellation and no-show policy of each Trip Provider is made available on our Platform on the Trip Provider information pages, during the reservation procedure and in the confirmation page/email. Please note that certain rates, fees or special offers are not eligible for cancellation, refund or change. Applicable city/tourist tax may still be charged by the Trip Provider in the event of a no-show or charged cancellation. Please check the (reservation) details of your product or service of choice thoroughly for any such conditions prior to making your reservation. Please note that a Trip Reservation which requires down payment or (wholly or partly) prepayment may be cancelled (without a prior notice of default or warning) insofar the relevant (remaining) amount(s) cannot be collected in full on the relevant due or payment date in accordance with the relevant payment policy of the Trip Provider and the reservation. Cancellation and prepayment policies may vary per segment, product or service of each Trip. Please carefully read the fine print (below the Trip types or at the bottom of each Trip Provider page on our Platform) and important information in your reservation confirmation for additional policies as may be applied by the Trip Provider (e.g. in respect of age requirement, security deposit, non-cancellation/additional supplements for group bookings, extra beds/no free breakfast, pets/cards accepted).
Late payment, wrong bank, debit or credit card details, invalid credit/debit cards or insufficient funds are for your own risk and account and you shall not be entitled to any refund of any (non-refundable) prepaid amount unless the Trip Provider agrees or allows otherwise under its (pre)payment and cancellation policy.
If you wish to review, adjust or cancel your Trip Reservation, please revert to the Trip confirmation email/page and follow the instructions therein. Please note that you may be charged for your cancellation in accordance with the Trip Provider's cancellation, (pre)payment and no-show policy or not be entitled to any repayment of any (pre)paid amount. We recommend that you read the cancellation, (pre)payment and no-show policy of the accommodation provider carefully prior to making your reservation and remember to make further payments on time as may be required for the relevant reservation.
If you have a late or delayed arrival on the accommodation check-in date / car pick-up date or only arrive the next day, make sure to (timely/promptly) communicate this with the Trip Provider so they know when to expect you to avoid cancellation of your Trip (Reservation) or charge of the no-show fee. Our customer service department can help you if needed with informing the Trip Provider. FinalPrice does not accept any liability or responsibility for the consequences of your delayed arrival or any cancellation or charged no-show fee by the Trip Provider.
(Further) Correspondence and Communication
By completing a Trip Reservation, you agree to receive (i) an email which we may send you shortly prior to your arrival date, giving you information on your destination and providing you with certain information and offers (including third party offers to the extent that you have actively opted in for this information) relevant to your Trip (Reservation) and destination, (ii) an email after arrival to rate the (experience with your) Trip Provider and the Trip Service, and (iii) an email which we may send to you promptly after your stay inviting you to complete our guest review form. See our privacy and cookies policy for more information about how we may contact you.
FinalPrice disclaims any liability or responsibility for any communication by or with the Trip Provider on or through its platform. You cannot derive any rights from any request to, or communication with the Trip Provider or (any form of) acknowledgment of receipt of any communication or request. FinalPrice cannot guarantee that any request or communication will be (duly and timely) received/read by, complied with, executed or accepted by the Trip Provider.
In order to duly complete and secure your Trip Reservation, you need to use your correct email address. We are not responsible or liable for (and have no obligation to verify) any wrong or misspelled email address or inaccurate or wrong (mobile) phone number or credit card number.
Any claim or complaint against FinalPrice or in respect of the Trip Service must be promptly submitted, but in any event within 30 days after the scheduled day of consummation of the product or service (e.g. check out date). Any claim or complaint that is submitted after the 30 days period, may be rejected and the claimant shall forfeit its right to any (damage or cost) compensation.
For consumers (in the European Economic Area): We advise you to first notify us of any complaints by contacting our Customer Service. If this does not resolve your complaint, you can upload your complaint via the European Commission's ODR platform. This platform for online dispute resolution can be found here: http://ec.europa.eu/odr.
Account and Subscription
Any SME may be eligible to create a FinalPrice account with a prepaid subscription in case the SME's bank has entered into an agreement with FinalPrice as part of a strategic partnership with Mastercard. Restrictions on the use of specific credit/debit bank cards and/or e-mail (as a bank customer identifier) are possible when registering an account and booking a Trip.
In either case, the end user can create a FinalPrice account by paying an annual subscription.
With a FinalPrice account, you can get cashback on almost any Trip. The cashback amount is displayed next to each offer when choosing and booking a Trip.
Our Trip Service is made available for personal and non-commercial use only. Therefore, you are not allowed to re-sell any product or service available on the Platform. If irregularities are detected, we have the right to freeze your account without compensation for any direct or indirect damages.
Any possible limitations on the number of trips and/or number of travellers during the subscription period will be explicitly stated at the time of account creation process.
All subscription requests are subject to verification by FinalPrice. We will notify you in the event that your Subscription request has been accepted and granted. The subscription is not transferable. FinalPrice subscription is void if prohibited by law in your country of domicile.
You can cancel your FinalPrice subscription at any time. Cancellations must be made at least one day before the last day of the subscription period. Cancellation requests received after this will take effect the following year. You are not entitled to a pro-rata refund of any part of the subscription fee paid for unused days of the current subscription period.
Cashback and Payout
Trip Providers pay a commission to FinalPrice after the end user has consummated the service or product of the Trip Provider (e.g. after the traveler has stayed at (and paid) the accommodation, used their flight or car rental) in a period of 40 days.
FinalPrice converts that commission to cashback which is credited to your FinalPrice account on the 45th day after the end of the Trip (e.g. check-out date at the hotel, date of the last flight, rental car drop-off date). You are not entitled to cashback in the event of cancellation of the Trip. If you change your Trip, you could receive fewer cashback credits than originally shown in the booking. Credits balance and history are available in the FinalPrice account.
Whenever you have the equivalent of or more than EUR 50 of credits in your account, you can request a payout to the card that was used to pay and which is linked to your account.
Available credits are not transferable to another FinalPrice account. Credits do not expire while you have an active subscription with us. All available credits expire at the event of your subscription termination or cancellation.
Privacy Policy
FinalPrice respects your privacy. Please have a look at our Privacy Policy for further information.
