Cancellation Scheme
Hideaways Cancellation Scheme
When paying a deposit, cancellation insurance must be taken out with us unless adequate proof of alternative insurance is supplied at time of booking.This costs £20.00 per week per property
Cancellation Insurance
It is disappointing enough to have to cancel or cut short your eagerly awaited and carefully planned holiday, and even more upsetting when you are responsible for the full balance of the holiday. This is why we at Hideaways offer cancellation insurance and if you or a member of your party have to make a claim, it is dealt with quickly and efficiently.
Having your own insurance means that you will need to pay the full amount on cancelling, we will then issue a cancellation invoice to you, this will enable you to make a claim through your own insurance
