car rental firms and others (‘Travel Suppliers’). When you make an online booking
on this website, a contract is made between you and the Travel Supplier, and their

incurring the cancellation of the booking, together with any applicable cancellation
fee. Please note that in some circumstances, the price of the ticket quoted may
either be different due to taxes not shown on the global computer reservation system

responsibility or liability for this price fluctuation.
