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 « Esprit Libre » insurance.
What are the conditions for cancelling or changing a 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 (within the same establishment)
- Bookings can be cancelled for JUST €30.
Contract cancellation / modification fees for a stay in a cottage or camping pitch
For your information, for bookings more than 30 days in advance, a 30% deposit is requested (excluding the booking fee and « Esprit Libre » insurance payable at the time of booking). The remaining balance must be paid no later than 30 days before the beginning of the stay.
Date of cancellation | 45+ days | 30 to 44 days | 8 to 29 days | 1 to 7 days | From the day of arrival |
Cancellation fees | 30,00€ | 20% | 50% | 90% | 100% |
Downward modification fee | FREE OF CHARGE with reimbursement of the difference | FREE OF CHARGE with having the difference | without refund without having the difference | ||
Upward amendment fee | with payment of supplement |
1.2 – Transferring your booking
You wish to allow a member of your entourage to benefit from your Booking.
Up until the day of arrival, you may transfer your sales contract provided that the new contracting party fulfils exactly the same conditions as yourself (same dates of stay, same Accommodation, same establishment etc.). The transfer of the Contract will incur an administrative fee of €30.
For an even greater level of protection, MS Vacances offers the «Esprit Libre» insurance corresponding to 3.9% of the total amount of the stay, in addition to the Peace of Mind Guarantee. The «Esprit Libre» insurance must be selected and paid for, at the time of booking. The «Esprit Libre» insurance covers 95% of personal incidents, so long as it was random, outside the affected person’s control and not initiated by them.
Why opt for « Esprit Libre » insurance as a complement to the Peace of Mind Guarantee ?
The «Esprit Libre» insurance is designed to provide guarantees for damages suffered BEFORE and DURING your stay. Because unforeseen events can happen to anyone (death, illness, hospitalisation, loss of employment, etc.), MS Vacances strongly encourages you to take out the «Esprit Libre» 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 insurance so you can hold onto your holiday budget. For example, if you book an accommodation and need to cancel within 30 days of your arrival, you will be charged between 50% and 90% of the total price under the Peace of Mind Guarantee. The «Esprit Libre» insurance however offers protection against a wide range of incidents.
« Esprit Libre » insurance includes the following cover :
- stay cancellation
- late arrival
- stay interruptions
- forgotten personal possessions
- cost of a replacement vehicle.
Terms and Conditions of the Peace of Mind Guarantee:
The Guarantee is valid for stays contracted with MS Vacances. The Guarantee will be interpreted firstly in accordance with its specific conditions and, subsidiarily, in accordance with the General Terms of Sale in force. Requests for cancellation, amendment or transfer must be notified to the MS Vacances Reservations Department in writing (registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, email, or by telephone). The date taken into account for determining the applicable cancellation, amendment or transfer fees will be the date of issue of the registered letter (postmark serving as proof) or the date of receipt of the email. Refunds will be made to the contracting party within a maximum period of 90 days, unless they otherwise dispose of it in writing. In the event of cancellation or amendment of the sales contract entered into between MS Vacances and the contracting party, the Peace of Mind Guarantee and the “Esprit Libre” insurance may not be used cumulatively. Any request for cancellation or amendment will be determined on the basis of the initial arrival date specified in the booking contract. In the case of a modification of the stay (change of dates), the initially agreed arrival date will remain the sole reference date for the application of the Peace of Mind Guarantee and the calculation of cancellation or amendment fees. Accordingly, an amendment aimed at postponing the arrival date will not have the effect of reducing or cancelling the applicable fees in the event of subsequent cancellation
