The Client and Authority

Any person(s) wishing to utilise the services, indicates their acceptance of these Terms and Conditions by proceeding with the booking on the passenger information page, prior to the conclusion of any transaction with Prime Travel. Upon doing so, such person is DEEMED TO HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD AND ACCEPTED these Terms and Conditions and to have the authority to do so on behalf of the person/Company person in whose name the ultimate reservation or booking is made (collectively referred to as ‘the Client(s)’).

Prime Travel accepts no responsibility for any changes made by any of the listed Passengers in a booking.

Third Party Service Providers

Prime Travel provides Clients with the services either itself or acting on behalf of Principals engaged in or associated with the travel and/or accommodation industries, such as airlines, hotels and/or other service providers or suppliers (collectively referred to as ‘the Principal’). Prime Travel represents the Principal as agents only AND ACCORDINGLY ACCEPTS NO LIABILITY for any loss, damage (including loss of profits or consequential or special damages), injury, illness, harm or death (except if such loss or damage arises from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of Prime Travel or any person acting for or controlled by Prime Travel), which any Client may suffer as a result of any act or omission on the part of or the failure of the Principal to fulfil their obligations, whether in relation to travel arrangements, accommodation or otherwise. When you make a booking with us, you acknowledge and agree that we act only as an agent for the third party service provider, which is solely responsible to provide you with the travel or service which you have booked. The contract in use by the Principal (which is often constituted by the ticket issued by the Principal), shall constitute the sole contract between the Principal and the Client and any RIGHT OF RECOURSE the Client may have, will be solely against the Principal. Prime Travel shall, as soon as possible after the confirmation of the Client’s booking, provide to the Client the identity of the Principal.By making a booking you agree to have your contact details shared with the Principal in order to facilitate your booking. In the event that you prefer not to have your contact details shared with the Principal this needs to be explicitly requested by you by completing a contact form once you have completed your booking.

Please be advised that when booking a travel package with Prime Travel, either online, or with a Live Agent, it is the Passenger’s responsibility to ensure that they have familiarised themselves with all terms and conditions that are applicable to their booking, which may include air, rail, bus, transport services suppliers, hotel and tour operators, etc. Prime Travel has a trade relationship with a number of preferred third party travel providers and the provider’s terms and conditions are available to the Passenger here:

Please note that this list is not exhaustive and should the specific terms and conditions of the Service Provider not be listed, please ensure that you make an effort to locate them and peruse them before making your booking.

In the instance where a unique travel package has been requested and built specifically for a Passenger, Prime Travel does not warrant or guarantee the service or the refundability of the booking. It is the Passenger’s responsibility to confirm that he/she has satisfied him/herself as to the terms and conditions of all suppliers related to that specific booking.

From time to time Prime Travel may, together with a partner, offer exclusive promotional deals, which will only be available to a select group of people based on qualifying criteria. In this instance specific terms and conditions may apply, which will be made known to you.

Please be advised that when making an online booking it is not possible to display the fare conditions of a particular ticket. Should you wish to inquire about this before confirming a booking you should contact a Live Agent for assistance.

Please be aware that Third Party Service Providers (Airlines) may charge extra for certain items such as: seating, special meal requests or printing boarding passes. This is subject to change without notice to you. By agreeing to these terms and conditions upon making your booking you agree to accept this condition.

It is the Client’s responsibility to familiarise themselves with such terms and conditions (‘the Principal’s Conditions’).

The specific airline's or third parties' terms and conditions may apply.

See all third party terms and conditions below:

Booking Enquiries & Reservations

Once the Client has (i) completed all applicable fields to initiate an enquiry regarding a particular destination, trip, tour, mode of travel, preferred accommodation and/or other service on Prime Travel’s website www.Prime Travel.co.za or mobile site m.Prime Travel.co.za or Mobile Application(together, ‘the Sites’), or (ii) initiated such an enquiry with Prime Travel by any other means of communication including by means of access to the Sites via booking kiosks, if applicable, (collectively referred to as ‘the Enquiry’), the Sites will prepare and provide the Client with the projected total cost of the Enquiry (online, by e-mail, by SMS or telephonically) (‘the Quote’). THE QUOTE IS ACCEPTED by the Client when the Client proceeds with the steps as specified on the Sites or accepts the Quote telephonically or via email. Full payment of the total value of the Quote (‘the Payment’) is required in order to confirm reservations with the relevant Principals (‘the Booking’). Once the online Booking or Booking affected by Prime Travel has been completed and the Client has authorized Prime Travel to process the payment by submitting the Booking for reservation, the Client will be supplied with an email that will contain the final details of the Booking (‘the Booking Confirmation Form’). IN THE CASE OF AIR TICKETS, FULL PAYMENT FOR THE BOOKING NEEDS TO BE MADE AND REFLECT IN THE BANK ACCOUNT OF PRIME TRAVEL BY MIDNIGHT South African time on the day that the Booking was made in order to guarantee the fare quoted according to the Booking Confirmation Form.

Note that all tickets carry different fare conditions as imposed by the relevant airline. The ticket you are purchasing may only be partially or non-refundable. To verify this before booking online please contact our offices.

Destination Selection

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 Prime Travel has no control over information compiled by the Principal. Accordingly PRIME TRAVEL 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 Prime Travel 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.

Payment and Payment Terms

The Payment is due immediately by Visa, Master, American Express or Diners Credit Card or Electronic Funds Transfer, Cash Deposit at a bank, or if a Kiosk booking, cash payment to the Kiosk teller, whichever is applicable, and must reflect in the bank account of Prime Travel by midnight South African time on the day that the Booking was made. If the Payment is not received as stated above, Prime Travel 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 Prime Travel 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 Prime Travel before the deadline stipulated in the revised Quote in order to secure the Booking.

By accepting these terms and conditions, you consent to Prime Travel processing your personal information for the purposes of administering payment. You consent to Prime Travel sharing and procuring your personal information with and from contracted third parties, only insofar as it relates to payment, who may require such information in order to render a service to you and only if such contracted third party agrees to keep the information confidential.

Prime Travel 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. Prime Travel shall therefore NOT BE HELD LIABLE for any Additional Charges levied by the applicable merchant, or bank pursuant to the confirmation of a Booking. Prime Travel, or Prime Travel for Business does not offer credit, unless otherwise agreed.

Quotes

Quotes are provided at the ruling daily exchange rate. Until Prime Travel 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 Prime Travel will be entitled to retain any service fees charged. Prime Travel/Prime Travel for Business accepts no liability for bookings that have been cancelled because no payment has been forthcoming.

Service Fee

These fees cover the costs incurred by Prime Travel 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 a live agent these will appear on your quotation.

Processing Fee

These fees cover expenses related to customer support, and maintenance costs for our online booking platform. This ensures that our customers will benefit from secure and efficient ways to book and pay online.

Amendment Fees

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.

Prime Travel’s Indemnity

The proposed travel arrangements are made on the EXPRESS CONDITION that Prime Travel, 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 wilful misconduct of Prime Travel or any person acting for or controlled by Prime Travel, in which case such claim shall be lodged in writing with Prime Travel within 30 (thirty) days after the occurrence of the alleged Loss, and such liability shall be limited to R10 000 per Client per Booking). The CLIENT INDEMNIFIES AND HOLDS HARMLESS Prime Travel or any person acting for or controlled by Prime Travel accordingly.

Insurance

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). Prime Travel will NOT BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE if the Client fails to take adequate insurance cover. It shall not be obligatory upon Prime Travel 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 Prime Travel 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. Prime Travel 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 Prime Travel’s 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.

Travel Documents

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.

Name Change Requests

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 traveller'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. Prime Travel accepts no liability in this regard.

Passports, Visas & Health

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.

Prime Travel will endeavour to assist the Client if requested, but such assistance will be at Prime Travel’s discretion (since this service does not fall within the scope of the Services) and the Client acknowledges that in doing so, Prime Travel IS NOT ASSUMING ANY OBLIGATION OR LIABILITY AND THE CLIENT INDEMNIFIES PRIME TRAVEL 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.

Warning: Malaria and other tropical Diseases

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.

Cancellation

In the event of the Client cancelling the Booking, Prime Travel shall have the RIGHT TO EITHER CLAIM the amount of, or retain an amount of the Payment and claim reasonable damages suffered by Prime Travel, provided that Prime Travel shall not impose any cancellation fee or claim any damages in respect of a Booking or reservation if the Client is unable to honour the Booking or reservation due to the death or hospitalisation of the Client. The Principals may reserve the RIGHT TO CANCEL any services prior to departure, in which event the Payment (less Prime Travel’s service fee) will be refunded by the Principal to the Client without any further obligation on the part of Prime Travel. Prime Travel 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 Prime Travel in terms of this Condition.

Please note that should you have booked a ticket with more than one flight (eg: 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.

Unscheduled Change/Disruption

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 Prime Travel, 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 Prime Travel and in this instance, time permitting, Prime Travel 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. Prime Travel 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.

Itinerary Variations & Transfers

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 Prime Travel 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 utilised 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

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 Prime Travel.

Car Rental

The person listed as the driver of the vehicle must present a South African driver’s licence or an international driver’s licence 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 refer to terms and conditions below. Please note that this list is not exhaustive and should the specific terms and conditions of the Service Provider not be listed please ensure that you make an effort to locate them and peruse them before making your booking.

Terms and Conditions

Law & Jurisdiction

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 Prime Travel. Prime Travel 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.

Special Requests

Clients who have special requests must specify such requests in writing to Prime Travel at least 48 hours prior to their outbound flight. Whilst Prime Travel will use its best endeavors to accommodate any such requests, it does NOT GUARANTEE that it will always be able to do so.

Amendments of these Conditions

Prime Travel 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.

Refunds

NO REFUNDS will be considered in any circumstances whatsoever by Prime Travel 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. Prime Travel 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 Prime Travel and we’ll refund the credit card you used when making your reservation. This usually takes approximately 4 weeks.

Foreign Exchange Regulation Compliance

Foreign Exchange Regulation Compliance is EXCLUSIVELY THE CLIENT’S RESPONSIBILITY. This will apply especially when the Client instructs Prime Travel to make and pay for travel arrangements on the internet.

E-ticketing: Documents required for travelling

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).

Internet Bookings

If the Client requests or instructs Prime Travel to effect bookings via the internet, the Client IRREVOCABLY AUTHORIZES Prime Travel 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.

Limitation of Liability

PRIME TRAVEL, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, SERVANTS OR AGENTS WILL UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, LOSS, DAMAGE OR INJURY SUFFERED BY ANY PERSON WHETHER TO THEIR PERSON OR PROPERTY, HOWSOEVER CAUSED WHETHER OR NOT ARISING FROM ANY ACT, OMISSION, DEFAULT, OR NEGLIGENCE ON THE PART OF PRIME TRAVEL, UNLESS SUCH CLAIM IS DUE TO THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILFUL CONDUCT OF PRIME TRAVEL AND SUCH CLAIM IS LODGED IN WRITING WITH PRIME TRAVEL WITHIN 30 (THIRTY) DAYS AFTER THE DATE ON WHICH THE BOOKING IS MADE. SUCH LIABILITY WILL BE SUBJECT TO A LIMITATION OF R10 000 PER CLIENT PER BOOKING AND UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL PRIME TRAVEL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSS OR DAMAGE.
