TRAVEL INSURANCE

 

Because of the importance of having adequate insurance cover, we suggest all our clients to be covered by an insurance policy before travelling on your booked holiday. If you elect not to take out insurance, you agree to indemnify Mantra Holidays Ltd. for any costs that arise which would otherwise have been met if you had your own travel insurance.

 

 

WEATHER, CLOTHING & ACCESSORIES

 

It is recommended to always carry an umbrella and a jacket. We recommend that you visit www.weather.com to ensure you have an idea of the weather at the time of the year you want to travel and can be well prepared by ensuring that you are carrying appropriate clothing, footwear, and accessories. Passengers should also be aware that some sightseeing would be done after dusk. During summer months, it is advisable to wear light garments during the day but keep a light jacket or sweater in your hand luggage for the evening, as it can get quite chilly. Also, few other items which are highly recommended are a family sized umbrella, rain wear, pair of sunglasses, pair of trainers or comfortable walking shoes especially for certain excursions that involve a considerable amount of walking. We also recommend passengers to carry a small travel iron, hairdryer, kettle etc. as not all hotels may provide the same in the rooms. You may also be required to be ‘covered’ up when visiting certain places, if you are unsure what to take then please do discuss with us and we will be happy to assist.

 

 

CREDIT CARD & CURRENCIES

 

We recommend that you take a credit or debit card on holiday with you, as it provides extra financial flexibility. Many restaurants, shops and hotels accept major international credit cards, such as Visa or MasterCard. It is also possible to draw cash with your credit or debit card at some banks and cash machines, though this will incur a fee charged by your card provider. Note: Advise your bank which countries you are visiting prior to travel so that you do not run the risk of your card being refused and subsequent expensive phone calls to unlock it. Currency of United States of America is American Dollar. We recommend all our passengers to convert any spending money they need before their travel. If you need more local currency when abroad, we recommend that you exchange money at a bank rather than at hotels, as they will charge high commission rates. You may also need your passport for identification as you would for travellers’ cheques. Even though in Canada credit and debit cards are widely accepted, keep in mind the exchange rate may be poor and commission will be charged.

 

 

LOST PROPERTY & THEFT

 

It is passenger’s responsibility to ensure that your property and valuables are always safe. If an item has been left in a hotel, restaurant, coach etc. you will need to call the respective supplier and arrange with them directly for the return of your item. Mantra Holidays will not carry anyone's left property across international borders whether it is authorized in writing or by any other means. In case of theft, you will need to advise your Tour Manager immediately and report the theft to the nearest police personnel who will provide you with a police report or crime reference number. You are advised not to carry unnecessary valuables and to be always vigilant, as tourist spots are well known targets

for pickpockets. Mantra Holidays recommends all passengers to have valid travel insurance, including EU citizens.

 

PHONE CARDS & VOLTAGE

 

All phone calls made from your hotel room phone are chargeable. This charge can be high, especially for international calls. It is always cheaper to use public telephones. If using your mobile phone during tour, we suggest that you check with your service provider if it will incur any charges. Electrical currents vary between Britain, the European continent, and North America. We suggest you carry a converter for your electric shaver, travelling iron, hair dryer, and other small appliances. We recommend that you purchase a universal travel adapter before travel to charge all your gadgets.
