Your peace of mind is our top priority !

 

You can book with total confidence because all bookings with MS automatically include the Peace of Mind Guarantee at no charge, when made via www.ms-vacances.com or by phone with our customer advisers. For an even greater level of protection, you can take out cancellation insurance with enhanced cover for Covid-19.

What are the conditions for cancelling or changing a booking?

1. Cancellation, modification or transfer of your booking

1.1 – Cancelling or changing your booking

 

You can change your mind at any time up to 45 days before arrival at the Campsite or Club!

  • Bookings can be modified  FREE OF CHARGE.
  • Bookings can be cancelled for JUST €30.

 

Contract cancellation / modification fees for a stay in a cottage*

For your information, for bookings more than 30 days in advance, a 30% deposit is requested (excluding the booking fee and cancellation insurance payable at the time of booking). The remaining balance must be paid no later than 30 days before the beginning of the stay.

* Cancellation fees are calculated based on the price of the cottage and the cancellation insurance (if purchased), plus 100% of the booking fees paid. These fees must be a minimum of €30. In the event of cancellation on the scheduled arrival date, you will be charged for the total price of the stay.

 

 

Contract cancellation / modification fees for a stay on a camping pitch
For your information, for bookings more than 30 days in advance, a 30% deposit is requested (excluding the booking fee and cancellation insurance payable at the time of booking). The remaining balance must be paid no later than the date of the beginning of the stay.

* Cancellation fees are calculated based on the price of the pitch (for the entire party) and the cancellation insurance (if purchased), plus 100% of the booking fees paid. These fees must be a minimum of €30. In the event of cancellation on the scheduled arrival date, you will be charged for the total price of the stay.

 

 

1.2 – Transferring your booking

 

If you want to give your booking to family or friends,
you can transfer your booking up to 7 days before your scheduled arrival date, provided that the other person accepts all of the same conditions (same booking dates, same accommodation, etc.).

 

There is a €30 fee to transfer the booking.


 

2. Campez-Couvert insurance & enhanced cover for Covid-19 :

For an even greater level of protection, MS Vacances offers cancellation insurance corresponding to 3.7% of the total amount of the stay, in addition to the Peace of Mind Guarantee. Cancellation insurance must be selected and paid for at the time of booking.

Cancellation insurance covers 95% of personal incidents, so long as it was random, outside the affected person’s control and not initiated by them.

This insurance includes enhanced cover for Covid-19, providing for reimbursement of all or part of the holiday, under certain conditions. In addition to the traditional guarantees, the enhanced cover for Covid-19 offers protection relating to individual consequences of the pandemic:

 

 

Why opt for cancellation insurance as a complement to the Peace of Mind Guarantee ?

 

Campez-Couvert cancellation insurance is designed to provide guarantees for damages suffered BEFORE and DURING your trip. Because unforeseen events can happen to anyone (death, illness, hospitalization, loss of employment, etc.), MS Vacances strongly encourages you to take out cancellation insurance.

 

Despite the flexibility of our Peace of Mind Guarantee, in some cases (depending on the date the damage is suffered) it will be more advantageous for you to make a claim under the Campez-Couvert insurance so you can hold onto your holiday budget.

 

For example, if you book a cottage and need to cancel within 30 days of your arrival, you would have to pay between 50% and 90% of the total price under the Peace of Mind Guarantee. Cancellation insurance however offers protection against a wide range of incidents.

 

 

Campez-Couvert insurance includes the following cover :

 

  • trip cancellation
  • trip interruptions
  • forgotten personal possessions
  • cost of a replacement vehicle.

 

Enhanced COVID-19 cover extends to at least the following : 

 

  • COVID-19 infection: cancellation in the event of a declared COVID-19 infection within the month before the date of arrival, during an epidemic/pandemic
  • Quarantine for illness: cancellation due to quarantining in the event of a positive COVID-19 test
  • Quarantine due to close contact: quarantine obligation based on a declared case of close contact (notified via contact tracing), pending a COVID-19 test or test result.

 


 

Terms and Conditions of the Peace of Mind Guarantee:

Valid for bookings made with MS Vacances from 18/09/2023 onwards. The stated guarantee is first subject to its special terms and conditions, and then to the current Terms of Sale. Cancellation, modification or transfer requests must be sent to the MS Vacances booking team in writing (registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, email, etc.).

Refunds will be issued within a maximum period of 90 days, unless you, the customer, have specified otherwise in writing. In the event of cancellation or modification of a booking made with MS Vacances, the Peace of Mind Guarantee and Campez-Couvert insurance cannot be applied cumulatively.
