Ultimate Roadtrips T&Cs

 

Overview:

 

Whilst the organisers take every precaution against risk, driving can be a risky pursuit.  As a participant, you are responsible for your own safety and the safety of others and we remind you of this, whilst also making clear that we (the organisers) take NO responsibility for any incidents.

 

Ultimate Roadtrips tours are NOT A RACE or timed event.  Participants must always conduct themselves in a safe manner.  Any hint of competition or racing on the road will incur immediate removal from the tour with no refund.  You are expected to drive with due care and attention for yourself, your fellow tour customers and all other road users.

 

The tours are a navigational road trip, they are not guided stages.  You will be given a route plan, which it is your responsibility to follow – all routes allow for more than enough time to complete at fully legal and responsible speeds.

 

If a group booking is made, the lead name accepts the T&Cs on behalf of their group

 

 

Entry Fees:

 

All entry fees are fully payable 30 days before the date of the event.  At this stage, all fees are NON REFUNDABLE.  The entry fee does not include any personal expenses during the Event, such as fuel, tolls, food, drink, fines, repair costs or any other expenses of any kind.

 

If, for any reason, you decide to withdraw either before or during the Event, your fee is neither transferable nor refundable. We advise you to take out suitable insurance if you think this will be a problem.

 

The Event organisers reserve the right to refuse entry to the Event.

 

 

Changes to the Booking:

 

Once you have paid your event fee, your details are final (attendees and car)  Any changes required to these may require payment of an administration fee to cover our costs with any accommodation/transport/entertainment bookings.  This is at our discretion.

 

Required Documents:

 

a) Driving Licence – all drivers must hold a valid full UK driving licence

b) Vehicle insurance – for all drivers

c) MOT certificate – as the condition of a vehicle may deteriorate within the period of an MOT, it is your responsibility to ensure that your vehicle is in a roadworthy condition for the event.

d) Valid Passport – for all participants in international tours

It is the sole responsibility of the participants to ensure that their documents are in order. They must be valid from the beginning up to, and including, the last day of the Event. You will be required to sign to this effect at the Event launch. Failure to sign the registration form will result in disqualification from the Event without refund.

You cannot participate in any other vehicle than the one registered.

 

 

Age Restrictions:

 

Drivers must be at least 18 years old at the start of the event. Any participants under 18 must be accompanied by an adult who is responsible for their conduct (ref alcohol laws, etc)

 

 

Tour Decals:

 

By paying the entry fee you agree to have the Ultimate Roadtrips and all official Event sponsors’ stickers placed on your vehicle at all times during the Event. All stickers are non-permanent, are easy to remove and will not leave any damage to your vehicle. The Event organisers are therefore not responsible for any claims of damage to your vehicle as a result of applying or removing such stickers.

 

 

Local Laws:

 

For international tours, all participants must drive safely and at all times obey the specific regulations for each country visited. This includes (but is not limited to) speed regulations, highway laws, vehicle safety laws and laws relating to the possession or use of alcohol or drugs.

 

It is up to you to ensure that you are fully up to date with the driving requirements for each country you visit. Some countries require you to carry certain equipment. You will be provided with a driving guide prior to commencement of the rally; however this may not be an exhaustive list.

 

 

Accommodation:

 

This will be detailed in each specific tour description.  Normally, each booked car with two passengers has a twin or double room.  Twins or doubles will be arranged at time of booking and while we endeavour to provide the requested type (double or twin) we cannot guarantee this.

 

A credit card must be provided for each room as a security deposit when checking in. It will be charged at check out for any costs (such as food and drinks) or damages.

 

 

Conduct:

 

Ultimate Roadtrips pride ourselves on the standards of our tours.  All participants must conduct themselves responsibly and in an appropriate manner at all times. You must not consume alcohol whilst driving, drive whilst under the influence of alcohol (or any other intoxicating substance) or drive if your ability to do so safely is compromised by illness, lack of adequate rest, or any other condition. Any illegal behaviour will result in the cancellation of your participation without refund.

If you fail to complete any part of the route or become unable to continue at any stage of the Event, you will not be entitled to a refund.
