2. Enquiries and Booking Process
2.1 Enquiry Only
Submitting an enquiry through our website, by email, by telephone, or by WhatsApp constitutes an enquiry only and does not constitute a confirmed booking. No contract is formed between Aurora Luxury Travels and the client at the point of enquiry submission.
2.2 Proposal
Following receipt of your enquiry, Aurora will review your requirements and, if we are able to fulfil them, issue a written proposal by email and/or WhatsApp. The proposal will set out the journey details, vehicle, agreed services, all-inclusive price, and payment instructions. The proposal remains valid for 48 hours from the time of issue unless otherwise stated.
2.3 Booking Confirmation
A binding contract between Aurora Luxury Travels and the client is formed only upon receipt of full payment against the Stripe payment link provided in the proposal. Aurora will issue a booking confirmation and branded PDF invoice upon successful payment. No booking is confirmed until payment is received and acknowledged.
2.4 Accessibility Requirements
If any passenger in your group has a mobility, hearing, visual, or other accessibility requirement, you must disclose this in full at enquiry stage. Aurora will personally confirm vehicle suitability before accepting your booking. Aurora reserves the right to decline a booking where it cannot be fulfilled to the required accessibility standard. A booking accepted by Aurora constitutes confirmation that the vehicle and service arrangements are suitable for the disclosed requirements.
3. Pricing and Payment
3.1 All-Inclusive Fixed Pricing
All prices quoted by Aurora are fixed and all-inclusive. The price stated in your proposal is the price you pay. There are no hidden additions, no surge pricing, and no charges added on the day of travel, except where expressly agreed in writing by Aurora in advance.
3.2 Third-Party Costs
Where a journey involves toll road charges, Congestion Zone charges, ULEZ charges, venue parking fees, or other third-party costs that were not included in the original proposal, Aurora will notify you of these separately. Third-party costs are the client's responsibility unless otherwise agreed in writing.
3.3 Payment
Payment is due in full via the Stripe payment link provided with your booking proposal. Aurora accepts credit and debit card payments processed securely by Stripe. No card data is processed by or stored by Aurora. Payment confirms your booking.
