2. Booking
All bookings are subject to these terms of use and the booking conditions of the respective provider.
We act as an agent for Suppliers, accepting bookings and collecting payments on their behalf. Each booking represents a direct agreement between you and the provider for the service component.
Your booking request is considered an offer based on these terms and conditions and the respective booking conditions.
Booking information submitted will be processed as stated. You should notify us immediately of any errors or changes.
You will receive a full booking confirmation by email or WhatsApp, which you should keep.
Online Transport is not responsible for the quality of service provided by our suppliers.
Prices, availability and descriptions of service components are subject to change without notice. Additional conditions may apply to special offers.
Travel costs vary; we reserve the right to pass on surcharges to cover increased transport costs.
Air fares are subject to airline offers and conditions; we cannot guarantee them.
The prices for the service components include VAT, but not other taxes and duties, which may be charged separately.
IATA requires that we share your contact information with the airlines to keep them informed during the flight booking process.
3. Payment
To confirm your booking, please enter the details of your payment account.
By submitting your booking request, you authorise us to debit the corresponding amounts for the service components from your specified account. If payment is not made, this may result in the booking being cancelled.

If changes are possible, we will do our best to re-quote you. Cancellations prior to departure will incur penalties as per the supplier's policy and an administration fee from Online Transport. Refunds, if applicable, will be paid by Online Transport.
Refunds may take up to 3 weeks. In the event of hospitalisation or death, cancellation fees will be waived with appropriate proof.
Cancellation fees will not be refunded for no-shows. Be punctual.
