Travel Aware - Complaints
Everything you need to know about complaints
Although unlikely, it is possible that problems can occur whilst on holiday, and in most instances these can be resolved, provided you take action straight away. It is therefore essential that you try to resolve the problem with the relevant supplier (eg hotel, car rental company, airline) immediately so that the matter can be put right. If the supplier cannot resolve the problem to your satisfaction, at the time, you must also contact the Company's Customer Service Department immediately by telephoning +44 (0) 1792 482432 or 07973 371221 (out of hours), so that the company is given the opportunity to help. In the event that a complaint cannot be resolved at the time, you must write within 28 days of your return to the Customer Services Department at Suite 3, RVB House, New Mill Court, Llansamlet, Swansea. SA7 9FG, or e-mail [email protected] Please give full written details of your complaint and quote your booking reference on all correspondence. Failure to take these steps will hinder the Company's ability to resolve the problem and/or investigate it fully and in consequence, any right to compensation you may have will be extinguished or, at the very least, substantially reduced.
