2. Making and Cancelling a Booking

As set out above our terms and conditions are valid only for the booking process or services on the bookyabike Sites and not for the rental station owners/travel service provider. The rental station owner’s/travel service provider’s terms and conditions are not depending to the terms and conditions of bookyabike.

Bookyabike is not responsible for the terms and conditions of any rental station owner/travel service provider.

2.3 Your non-arrival by the agreed pick-up time may result in the cancellation of your entire booking. Any amendments to your booking must be notified to and agreed with the travel services provider directly, which doesn’t mean that a refund of the deposit or a part of the deposit will be made. Please note that it is not possible to amend non-refundable bookings. In making a booking it is in your responsibility to disclose to the rental station owner/travel services provider if any requirements or special facilities are needed for you or a member of your travel group.

2.4 When a booking is confirmed we will issue the booking confirmation on behalf of the rental station owner/travel services provider. Note that we won’t provide information about any charges for additional services. We strongly recommend you to check and confirm the rental station owner’s/travel services provider’s terms and conditions before booking any services. Upon receipt of the booking confirmation the contract is valid. The reference numbers included on the booking confirmation should be quoted in all enquiries, cancellation or modification of the booking.

2.5 You may cancel your booking in accordance with the cancellation policy of the rental station owner/travel service provider. You will find the cancellation policy in the terms and conditions of the rental station owner/travel service provider.

2.6 If you have confirmed the booking process the contract is valid. If you cancel your booking afterwards, regardless of how much notice you give, deposits will be non-refundable. You should note that, even though your deposit and booking fee will be non-refundable in any event, you have to inform the rental station owner/travel services provider about your cancellation. You will find the cancellation policy in the terms and conditions of the rental station owner/travel service provider.
