If you wish to make a change to a confirmed booking please contact your travel agent. Any changes made before departure will incur a min. charge of £50 per person. In many cases airlines require tickets to be issued on booking & where tickets have been issued changes may be treated as a cancellation. Please note: A change to the travel departure date once confirmed, is regarded as a cancellation & rebooking, not an amendment to the booking. Some suppliers, particularly airlines, whose fares may be non-refundable, may consider a name or other change to an existing booking, as a cancellation and rebooking, with up to 100% cancellation charges.
If you need to cancel a confirmed booking you must contact us in writing, either directly or through your travel agent, and the lead passenger must sign the letter. If you cancel before the balance is due, you will forfeit your deposit. Cancellations after full payment has been made will incur additional charges to cover administration & cancellation charges imposed by suppliers. Should you cancel your confirmed booking, or part of your booking, the following cancellation charges will apply:
NOTE: These cancellation charges apply to all bookings, except in circumstances where a booking includes items or services where our suppliers cancellation charges exceed those shown above. In these circumstances any additional cancellation charges will be advised at the time of booking. Please ensure you are certain of the fees applicable to your booking by asking your travel agent or us before proceeding to book your arrangements.
Arrangements are often made many months in advance. Occasionally, we, airlines &/or suppliers have to make changes to & correct errors in published & other details both before & after bookings have been confirmed & cancel confirmed bookings. Whilst we always endeavour to avoid changes & cancellations, we must reserve the right to do so. However, we will only cancel your confirmed booking 8 weeks or less before departure where you have failed to comply with any requirement of these booking conditions entitling us to cancel or where we are forced to do so as a result of circumstances outside our control or because an insufficient number of people have booked your chosen arrangements & we have notified you of this not less than 8 weeks before departure. Most changes are minor. Occasionally, we have to make a significant change. Significant changes incl. the following changes when made before departure; a change of accommodation to that of a lower official classification or standard for the whole or a major part of the time you are away, a change of outward departure time or overall length of time you are away of 24 or more hours or a change of UK departure point to one which is substantially more inconvenient for you (except between airports within or around the same city). If we have to make a significant change or cancel, we will tell you as soon as possible. If there is time to do so before departure, we will offer you the choice of the following options:
(a) For significant changes accepting the changed arrangements or (b) Purchasing alternative arrangements for us, of a similar standard to those originally booked if available (if the alternative is less expensive than the original arrangements, we will refund the difference but if more expensive, we will ask you to pay the difference, or
(c) Cancelling or accepting the cancellation in which case you will receive a full refund of all monies you have paid to us.
If we have to make a significant change or cancel after the date you have to pay the balance of the cost of your arrangements, we will pay you the compensation set out below depending on the circumstances provided we have received full payment subject to the following exceptions. Compensation will not be payable & no liability beyond offering the above mentioned choices can be accepted where we are forced to make a change or cancel as a result or unusual & unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which we could not have avoided even with all due care or where we cancel more then 8 weeks before departure because an insufficient number of people have booked your chosen arrangements. No compensation will be payable & the above options will not be available if we cancel as a result of your failure to comply with any requirement of these Booking Conditions entitling us to cancel (such as paying on time) or where any change is a minor one. A significant change or cancellation is notified to you.

Very rarely, we may be forced by “force majeure” to change or terminate your arrangements after departure but before the scheduled end of your time away. This is extremely unlikely but if this situation does occur, we regret we will be unable to make any refunds (unless we obtain any refunds from our suppliers), pay you any compensation or meet any costs or expenses you incur as a result.
(a) Packages: We are responsible for ensuring your package holiday is of a reasonable standard & as described to you. If any part fails to reach this standard & affects the enjoyment of your holiday, we will offer reasonable compensation providing it is not due to events outside our control. Our liability in all these cases is limited to an amount we consider reasonable, having regard for the cost of the service or facility concerned & the seriousness of the deficiency. ANZCRO (UK) accepts responsibility for death, injury or illness caused by the negligent acts &/or omissions of our employees or agents, together with our suppliers & sub-contractors, servants &/ or agents of the same, whilst acting in the course of their employment in the provision of your package holiday. We will pay compensation equivalent to that which would be awarded in an English Court, but will not offer compensation if the injury, illness or death is caused by your own fault or the fault of someone unconnected with the package, or an event that could not have been expected or avoided even with all due care. In respect of international carriage by air or ea our liability in all cases will be limited in the manner permitted by international conventions. You may ask for copies of these on written request to our offices.
(b) Other Travel Arrangements: When acting only as a booking agent ANZCRO (UK) has no liability whatsoever for any aspect of the travel arrangements & accepts no liability for any loss, personal injury or death however incurred, except where caused by our own proven negligence.
If you have a problem during the course of your holiday, you must inform the supplier of the service, plus a representative whose details we have provided, or telephone our offices immediately as failure to do so may reduce or extinguish any possible claim. We will endeavour to put things right as soon as possible. We will acknowledge all complaints on their receipt & deal with them promptly & efficiently. Any disputes which cannot be amicably settled may (if the client wishes) be referred to arbitration under a special scheme which although devised by arrangement with the ABTOT, is administered independently by Dispute Settlement Services. The scheme does not apply for amounts greater than £5,000 per person. There is also a limit of £25,000 per booking. Neither does it apply to claims that are solely or mainly in respect of physical injury or illness. The application for arbitration must be made within nine months of the date of return to the United Kingdom, but in special circumstances it may still be offered outside this period. Alternatively, you may wish to take any dispute to the Small Claims Court. Full details of the Arbitration Scheme can be obtained from ABTOT, 117 Houndsditch Street, London, EC3A 7BT.
In order to process your booking & to ensure your travel arrangements run smoothly & meet your requirements we (& your travel agent) need to use the info you provide such as name, address, & special needs/dietary requirements etc. We take full responsibility for ensuring proper security measures are in place to protect your information. We must pass the info on to the relevant suppliers of your travel arrangements such as airlines, hotels, transport companies etc. The info may also be provided to security or credit checking companies, public authorities such as customs/immigration if required by them, or as required by law. Additionally where your holiday is outside the European Economic Area (EEA), controls on data protection in your destination may not be as strong as the legal requirements in this country. We will not however, pass any info onto any person not responsible for part of your travel arrangements. This applies to any sensitive info you give us such as details of any disabilities, or dietary/religious requirements. (If we cannot pass this information to the relevant suppliers, whether in the EEA or not, we cannot provide your booking.) In making this booking, you consent to this information being passed on to the relevant persons.

It is called the NZeTA (New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority) and travellers need to request this via the official mobile app or website. Costs apply. For further details and to check if you are required to obtain an NZeTA refer to immigration.govt.nz/nzeta
