      Booking a Europe Holiday Lettings Safely :

      With Europe Holiday Lettings you can book your holiday directly with the owner or the manager who is managing a home on behalf of an owner. Plenty of people use our website every year to find holiday homes at thousands of destinations worldwide.

      We perform a series of vigorous checks on everyone that advertises with us to ensure they offer real and fair deals. We examine people not properties and it's very rare that something goes wrong. However, it's still worth doing a few checks yourself to make sure your vacation goes without any hitches.

      Call the owner or manager :

      We recommend that you always speak to the owner over the phone before making a booking. You will find their number on the advert, or send an email and they should be glad to assist you.

      Check the details of the home :

      Watch out for any inconsistencies. Check the home's full address on Google maps and ensure that vacation dates you've booked are marked off on their calendar. Read reviews posted for the advert and search owner's name or other websites they're mentioned on over internet.

      Advertising time on the website :

      All adverts state when the owner joined our website. The longer a home has been advertised with us, the more people have probably booked without experiencing any problems.

      Sign a booking contract :

      You should be asked to sign a booking contract with details of terms and conditions for renting the , its payment and cancellation policies. If you don't, ask for it (we will provide sample contracts for owners).

      Collect their full contact details :

      Make a note of their full name, phone numbers (landline and mobiles) and their own address, plus their trading address if they're a manager. Check that they will be contactable on these numbers whilst you're on vacation in case you need to get in touch then.

      Don't settle the full bill too early :

      You shouldn't be asked to pay the security deposit (usually up to 25% of the total booking) and settle the full cost of the letting until around eight weeks before your holiday. If have been asked to settle the bill earlier than eight weeks, please email us at info@europeholidaylettings.com and we'll investigate the matter for you.

      Check your insurance :

      Insurance doesn't always protect you if something goes wrong with accommodation or flights that are booked independently, e.g. if the airline goes out of business or the accommodation doesn't meet your requirements. Check the small print or look for an insurer that covers you against such things.

      Save your correspondence :
      • Keep a record of all of your correspondence with the owner or manager so that you can refer back to it at any time.
      • If you receive any unusual requests from a owner or manager or in case you notice something suspicious and decide not to book that vacation home, it is very important that you inform us as soon as possible with your reasons for this. Please contact us via email at info@europeholidaylettings.com and we will look into it immediately.

      Enquiring about a Property
      • Fill in the contact form at advert page and ask the owner directly. Give your email address and a phone number if possible so they can contact you instantly. Most owners also display a phone number in the ‘Contact details’ box. It’s a good idea to chat with them in person so don’t hesitate to call them – please ensure you note any time differences though as an American may not wish to hear from you at 3am their time!
      • If a owner has not replied to your email within three to five days then look for a phone number in the ‘Contact details’ box on their advert page and try calling them. It is also worth checking that the email address which you supplied to them was correct and send a second message if it was not. Check the junk folder of your email too – just in case something has got caught in there. If you still get no response, we would then suggest looking for other properties on the website.
      Unable to contact a owner
      • Whether you have booked or are simply enquiring about a , you have to give some time to the owner to send a reply or contact you. We advise to give the owners at least 5 working days or a calendar week to answer your query.
      • Europe Holiday Lettings owners generally operate letting of their in addition to their usual day job and family lives, and as such you will need to allow them some extra time to get back to you. So when you try to call a owner or send him an email he may not be able to answer your call during the day if he is at work, or may take a few extra days to answer your email if he is away on holidays. Make sure you call them keeping time differences in mind, so that you don’t wake them in the middle of the night. It is also worth checking that the email address which you supplied to them is correct. It is also worth checking the junk folder of your email in case something has got caught in there. If you still get no response, we would then suggest looking for other properties on the website.
      • If you want to get more specific information before you travel, we would advise you to contact the owner with plenty of time before your travel dates to be able to get all the required information. You can find the owners contact information at the advert page in the ‘contact details' box, or send an email directly through the enquiry form.
      • On the website of Europe Holiday Lettings, we generally post limited contact details that you need to contact a owner or manager.

      Retrieving your security deposit
      • Read the booking contract carefully for any present or future references, the contract should define a duration in which security deposits will be returned. If that period has expired or you are unsure as to when you can expect to get the security deposit, contact the advertiser directly.
      • If for any reason the advertiser will not release your security deposit or if he/she will keep some part of it, he/she will provide photographic evidence of the damages you with a copy of the bill for repair or replacement of the damaged item(s).
      • Europe Holiday Lettings is not in any way involved in the deposit process, it means that you have to contact the advertiser directly with any questions over the return of your security deposit. If you have problems securing the return of your deposit via the advertiser, we would advise you to seek further assistance.

      • If you have questions about your vacation let before, during or after your Holiday? Please contact the owner of the you have booked to stay in.
      • You can send them a message by sending an enquiry through the contact form at the bottom of the advert. Most of our owners provide a phone number in this section. We suggest you try to call them too, just in case they're away on vacation or unable to read their emails.

It is always good to check the calendar before contacting the owner if your dates are limited and you didn't specify dates in your original search. It also helps the owner if you include your dates when you send your enquiry.

      Unable to find a particular advert

      As an advertising service we remove adverts from the website for a number of reasons.

      Paying for your booking
      • Once you have agreed dates, prices and answered all your questions you confirm the booking with the owner.
      • We always encourage all owners to follow the standard procedure of sending a booking contract with the agreed dates and price to renters. Renters can pay the booking or security deposited (if applicable) after they sign the contract. Required booking details vary from owner to owner however most will ask for the booking deposit to confirm the booking with the balance of payment to follow closer to the vacation. You may also be asked for a refundable security deposit to cover any breakages or damages.
      • Europe Holiday Lettings does not intervene in the payment or booking procedures. Once you are in touch with a owner you should agree the booking and rental conditions between you.
      Security deposits
      • We suggest all owners to ask for a security deposit with every booking as this is the simplest way to cover unexpected costs that they may incur as a result of your stay. If you lose keys, or if you accidentally break a lamp or garden chair, the easy solution is for the owner to use the security deposit to cover this expense and refund the rest of the security deposit to you as appropriate. Details of the security deposit (payment, conditions and refund) should be laid out in the booking contract.
      • You should expect to be asked for a booking deposit (to secure your booking), a security deposit (as above) and a final payment (usually about 8 weeks prior to the holiday starting).
      Protecting your vacation
      • You should be aware that you are not automatically protected against loss of expenditure when booking flights and accommodation independently should, for example, your airline goes out of business or your accommodation not meets your requirements.
      • As www.europeholidaylettings.com is an advertising portal and not an agent engaged in the vacation transaction, it is not a member of any travel organizations and therefore offers no protection against the holiday rental booking you make.

Moreover please ensure that you get a booking contract for the Holiday rental so you will know about your rights and those of the person advertising .
