Golf Booking Conditions
Confirmation of Start Times
On receipt of your order we will process the booking and expect to be able to confirm start times to you within 2 working days, except: Single players are often not confirmed until a few weeks before play, as the courses match single players with three-ball Penina and Vale do Lobo - often only confirm start times 3 months before play Sheraton Pine Cliffs - at certain times accept pre-booking only 48 hours in advance When a golf course has not yet started processing bookings for the next golf season When bookings are on request to the golf courses We then have a limited time to accept and secure these times on your behalf and therefore need your confirmation that the times are acceptable:- within 7 days for start times received 6 weeks or more in advance within 1 day for start times received less than 6 weeks in advance Occasionally, due to availability on the golf courses, especially during peak season, we may need to change the order of the courses around to suit your preferred golf itinerary. However should your booking cover different date periods, this may affect the total cost of your booking. We will normally communicate with you by e-mail, but since e-mails are not always reliable, please ensure we have a phone number or mobile as well. Once we have confirmed golf start times that are acceptable to you, your payment is needed to secure the booking should courses have any special requirement. Otherwise full payment is required up to 6 weeks prior to your arrival.
Golfers Teeing Off
The courses always reserve the right to make up all flights to 4 balls and have to do this to meet demand most of the time. We can indicate your preference to the courses but there are no guarantees.
Junior Golfers
If your golf group includes juniors please tell us. The number and age of junior golfers should be indicated when you ask us to proceed with a booking. Juniors must present proof of their age when checking-in at the golf course and must play accompanied by an adult.
Golf Vouchers
Once your booking is finalised we will send you the Golf Voucher. Currently we do not meet our guests on arrival at airport. Golf voucher will therefore be sent directly to you by email. You will also recieve access to an Online Resort Guide via a QR code or link, which includes directions, a 24-hour emergency contact and general local information. To access this service you will need internet on your mobile phone.
Handicap Certificates
Most courses require men to have a handicap of 28 and ladies 36. Some have more stringent requirements. (The handicap requirements of all courses are shown on our website.) You will therefore need to have your certificate available when you arrive at the golf courses. No certificate, or a handicap higher than permitted on the course, really does equal to no play and no refund on some courses.
Soft Spikes
Golf shoes are essential and most courses require players to wear soft spikes on their shoes. These courses also offer a service, with a small charge, to change your spikes. Our advice, once you have had your spikes changed, retain them for the duration of your golfing holiday.
Buggies (Electric Carts)
The prices quoted for your golf do not include the price of a buggy. At some courses, buggies are hired at the course on a first come basis and so it is not possible to pre-book them. Only occasionally do the courses run out of them. Nevertheless it is becoming more and more frequent for courses to allow us to pre-book buggies. Some courses allow these to be paid to us in advance and others require buggies to be paid locally. In this instance we cannot guarantee the booking once it is not paid to us. Most of the 9-hole courses do not have buggies available. Some of the courses do not allow buggy hire when the weather is bad.
Golf in the Sun
Many courses have a strict dress code and refuse to let clients play if they are dressed inappropriately. Tailored shorts and collared shirts are the accepted "summer" standard. Long socks are not necessary.
Course Closures & Refunds
Very occasionally a course is closed due to bad weather. Under these circumstances if the course cannot offer you a suitable later starting time or book you on an alternative date they will endorse your golf voucher. This should be returned to Quo Vadis and we will arrange a refund. (If the weather is bad and the course decides not to close, it is still worth going to the course reception to see what suitable arrangements can be made).
Payment & Cancelation
We require payment to secure your start times and will provide with the necessary details. Full payment is required up to 6 weeks prior to your arrival, unless specified otherwise by the courses. Should your booking be within the 6 weeks, we will require full payment once tee times are confirmed and accepted by you. Proof of payment will also be required. We accept bank transfer payments only and all bank transfer charges ar borne by you. Please note that we guarantee to the golf courses payment of all pre-booked golf. We therefore: up to 6 weeks before travel we refund the cost of golf but do not refund the 12 Euro cancelation fee can usually give no refunds for whatever reason you cannot play booked golf if you give less than 6 weeks notice or "no show" If you do have to cancel your holiday after the 6 week deadline it is always worth letting us know. We can sometimes resell the golf and will then give you a refund.
Contact Details
Throughout the booking process we will continue to contact you via your e-mail address. However, occasionally e-mail communications break down. If you have not given us an alternative method of contacting you, we suggest you do this. Also, If there is a chance we will be trying to contact you with start times when you will not be reading your e-mails, please warn us of this and if possible suggest how we should contact you in this circumstance. Very occasionally golf courses change start times at the last minute. To contact you on resort we need a mobile telephone number or telephone number at the property where you will be staying.

We work with several car hire companies and all regularly replace the cars in their fleet. This has the effect that all cars are relatively new and the actual models offered do change. The models stated above are indicative only. You may be given another model similar to those stated.

Collection

Cars are collected from the airport car park in mainland Portugal and islands. A local deposit is required for the insurance excess and for petrol. The car hire company takes this deposit from you on arrival and returns the deposit when you return the car undamaged and with the same amount of petrol.

Car Delivery to Accommodation

We need full details of your car delivery requirements to confirm the price quoted and arrange the delivery. It is sufficient if you tell us you are staying in a major hotel. If you are requesting delivery to other accommodation, we will need the full address and a contact phone number.

In Algarve/Lisbon and other areas this is on request and there is an additional charge (cost is on request).

Electronic Tolls

There are highways in Portugal that use electronic road tolls (Scut Tolls) with no facility to pay locally. For this reason, the car hire company will include a device in your car hire to detect the usage of highways with electronic tolls.

They will request locally on your arrival an obligatory credit card payment of 1.85 Euro per day (IVA incl.) up to a maximum of 18.50 Euro (IVA incl.) for car rental in the Algarve/ Lisbon (For other areas in Portugal this works differently and cost is on request).

IMPORTANT: Please inform the car hire company when you arrive and pick up the car if you do not intend to use the Electronic tolls otherwise they will not refund you.

Once the device takes a few days to update after each time you drive through an electronic toll, the car hire company will only be able to verify the correct reading after you have returned home, to ensure no usage was done on your last day and will refund you if the electronic tolls not used. This may take up to 30 days.

An excess of 50 Euro applies for the device, which is returned to you if the device is returned without any damage or loss.

In Madeira, Azores and Porto the Electronic Toll Service is subject to the local payment of 1,85 Euro per day up to a maximum of 18,45 Euro. All electronic toll passages will be charged to the credit card afterward, once the device takes a few days to update after each time you drive through an electronic toll. The car hire company will only be able to verify the correct reading after you have returned home, to ensure no usage was done on last day.

On Resort

When the car is collected all drivers need their passport and driving licence and should sign the contract with the car hire company. A local deposit is required for the insurance excess and for petrol. The car hire company takes this deposit from you on arrival at the airport and returns the deposit when you return the car undamaged and with the same amount of petrol (in Porto/ Madeira/ Azores an additional service charge is applied if petrol is not the same amount). In Faro & Lisbon, the car will only have a quarter tank. Should you require half or full tank, this is possible at an additional cost. Because the deposit must be paid in Euro most clients complete a credit card voucher, which the car hire company later returns to the client to destroy.

Also when you collect your car, any extras ordered are paid for and additional insurances to cover excess and personal risks can be purchased.

In Porto/ Madeira/ Azores, all credit card payments are subject to a surcharge of 4.93 Euro including Iva. For any fines received after you have left, will be charged to your credit card plus an administration fee of 36.90 Euro.

Our car hire companies do offer a high standard of service and try to ensure that all clients are satisfied. They avoid as far as possible renting out cars that have any damage. However problems do occasionally occur. Your contract will identify the amount of petrol in the car and any minor damage on it. Please check the contract, the petrol gauge and car carefully and immediately report any error.

If you have any problems with your vehicle during your stay in Portugal, you should contact the car hire company. However, if they fail to resolve a problem, you will have the phone number of our partner in Portugal who you should contact to ensure all problems are dealt with on resort. In the case of an accident you must call the police. The car hire company should be notified of any accident within 24 hours.

Booking a Car with Quo Vadis

When we have received your payment and have a booking reference for you from the car hire company, we send you this reference number together with full instructions for collecting the car and contact details of our partners in Portugal.
