Terms & Conditions

1. About Travelaries

Travelaries is an independently managed travel information and planning website.

We aim to help travellers discover destinations, explore itineraries and access useful resources and third-party travel services.

Travelaries may provide information or access to services relating to:

• Flights
• Hotels and accommodation
• Car rentals
• Airport transfers
• eSIMs and connectivity
• Attractions and tours
• Visa and entry information
• Currency conversion
• Destination guides and itineraries
• Other travel-related resources

Unless expressly stated otherwise, Travelaries is not the airline, hotel, car-rental company, tour operator, telecommunications provider, immigration authority or other provider responsible for these third-party services.

2. Travel Information

The content available on Travelaries is provided primarily for general information and travel-planning purposes.

We aim to provide useful and reasonably accurate information. However, travel information can change quickly and we cannot guarantee that all information will always be complete, current or error-free.

Information that may change includes, for example:

• Prices and availability
• Opening hours
• Transport schedules
• Entry requirements
• Visa requirements
• Health or travel requirements
• Local rules and regulations
• Attraction availability
• Booking and cancellation conditions

3. Visa, Passport and Entry Information

Any visa, passport, immigration or entry information available through Travelaries is provided for general travel-planning purposes only.

Visa and immigration requirements can change and may depend on factors such as nationality, passport type, destination, transit arrangements, length of stay and individual circumstances.

Travelaries is not an immigration authority, embassy or government agency and does not make decisions regarding visa applications, admission to a country or immigration status.

Travellers are responsible for confirming current requirements with the appropriate embassy, consulate, immigration authority or other official government source before travelling or making decisions based on such information.

4. Third-Party Booking Services

Travelaries may contain links, buttons, widgets or other integrations that allow visitors to access booking platforms and other third-party travel services.

When you select or use a third-party service, you may be redirected to a website or booking system operated independently from Travelaries.

Any booking or purchase completed through that provider is generally a transaction between you and the relevant third-party provider.

The provider's own:

• Terms and conditions
• Prices and fees
• Payment requirements
• Cancellation rules
• Refund policies
• Booking conditions
• Privacy policies
• Customer-service procedures

will apply to your transaction with that provider.

5. Prices and Availability

Travel prices and availability can change frequently.

Prices, offers or availability displayed or referenced on Travelaries may change before you complete a booking and may differ from information shown by a third-party provider.

Unless Travelaries expressly states otherwise, the final price, availability, fees, taxes and booking conditions displayed by the relevant third-party provider at the time you complete your booking should be treated as the applicable information.

Travelaries does not guarantee that a particular fare, room, vehicle, activity, offer or other travel service will remain available.

6. Payments

Travelaries primarily provides travel information, planning resources and access to third-party travel services.

Where you complete a booking or purchase directly with a third-party provider, payment is processed by that provider or its authorised payment processor.

Travelaries does not directly process or store payment card information that you provide directly to an independent third-party booking or service provider.

7. Cancellations, Changes and Refunds

Where a booking is made with an independent third-party provider, cancellations, changes, refunds, credits and booking disputes are generally subject to that provider's terms and conditions.

Travellers should carefully review cancellation and refund conditions before completing a booking.

Travelaries cannot independently change, cancel or refund a booking made directly with a third-party provider unless Travelaries expressly states otherwise for a particular service.

8. Affiliate Relationships

Travelaries participates in affiliate programs and may earn revenue from certain links, booking tools and services featured on the website.

If you follow an affiliate link and make an eligible booking or purchase, Travelaries may receive a commission, normally at no additional cost to you.

Affiliate relationships may change over time as Travelaries adds or removes travel services and commercial relationships.

For further information, please read our Affiliate Disclosure.

9. External Websites

Travelaries contains links to websites and services operated by independent third parties.

We do not control the content, security, availability, policies or business practices of independent third-party websites.

The inclusion of a link does not mean that Travelaries owns or operates the linked website.

Visitors should review the terms and privacy policies of external websites before using their services or providing personal or payment information.

10. Travel Decisions and Personal Responsibility

Travellers are responsible for evaluating whether a destination, itinerary, activity, booking or travel service is appropriate for their individual circumstances.

Travelaries cannot account for every traveller's personal circumstances, including health, mobility, finances, nationality, visa status, insurance requirements or individual travel needs.

You remain responsible for making your own travel decisions and obtaining appropriate professional or official advice where necessary.

11. Travel Safety

Travel inherently involves risks and circumstances can change unexpectedly.

Visitors are responsible for checking relevant official travel advisories, local conditions, weather information, health requirements and safety information before and during travel.

Nothing on Travelaries should be treated as a guarantee that a destination, activity or journey will be free from risk.

12. Travel Insurance

Travellers should consider whether appropriate travel insurance is suitable for their journey and individual circumstances.

Where insurance products or providers are referenced on Travelaries, visitors should carefully review the applicable policy wording, exclusions, limits and conditions directly with the relevant provider.

13. Website Availability

We aim to keep Travelaries accessible and functioning properly, but we cannot guarantee uninterrupted or error-free availability.

Access may occasionally be interrupted due to maintenance, technical issues, hosting problems, third-party service failures or circumstances outside our reasonable control.

We may modify, update, remove or discontinue website content or features when reasonably necessary.

14. Acceptable Use

18. Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Travelaries does not guarantee that all website content, third-party information, prices, availability or external services will always be complete, accurate, current, uninterrupted or error-free.

Travelaries is not responsible for the acts, omissions, service quality, availability or performance of independent third-party travel providers.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Travelaries will not be responsible for losses arising solely from reliance on outdated third-party information, interruption of independent third-party services, or the acts or omissions of providers that Travelaries does not control.

19. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms & Conditions from time to time to reflect changes to Travelaries, our services, third-party relationships or applicable requirements.

When these Terms are updated, the revised version will be published on this page and the Last Updated date will be changed.

Visitors are encouraged to review these Terms periodically.

20. Governing Law
