Booking Process

Each booking of a Property will be valid only upon Triangle Luxury's receipt of:

  • a duly completed and signed Booking Form. The signatory of the Booking Form must be over 18 years of age;
  • if the booking is made 60 days or more prior to date of arrival at Property, the payment of a deposit of 50% of the total booking price; or
  • if the booking is made less than 60 days prior to date of arrival, payment of 100% of the total booking price.

Your receipt of a provisional Booking Form constitutes our provisional offer to you to book the Property. If we do not receive the duly completed and signed booking form within 24 hours, and payment of the required deposit within three working days of your receipt of the Booking Form, our provisional offer will expire. In such circumstances, we will be free to offer the Property to any third party.

Receipt by Triangle Luxury of the complete Booking Form and required payment of the deposit confirms your booking.

Security Deposit and Services Deposit

Triangle Luxury requires the deposit of a security deposit with respect to all bookings against any breakage or damage to the Property or any adjacent property caused during the rental period. The required security deposit varies from Property to Property.

If your booking excludes the cost of food, drink, and other services, the costs of which Triangle Luxury will incur on your behalf, then a service deposit will also be applied in addition to the security deposit. The required service deposit for each Property will be disclosed upon booking.

Triangle Luxury and/or the Owner reserves the right to use the security deposit and the services deposit to pay for any unpaid invoices on your behalf upon departure from the Property.

The security deposit and service deposit (if required) is due two weeks prior to arrival and will be refundable at the latest one month after your departure of the Property, less any costs incurred by Triangle Luxury during and/or in connection with your stay in the Property or cost of damages.

Repayment of the security deposit and service deposit may be delayed if the costs of any repair have to be determined.

The security and services deposit shall be taken as a credit card authorization. Should you wish to pay the security and services deposit by bank transfer rather than by credit card authorization, Triangle Luxury will not be held responsible for any fluctuation in exchange rate, and the amount returned will be returned in the currency according to where the booking takes place.

Balance Payment

Full payment of the balance of your payment (if applicable) is due 60 days prior to the date of your arrival to the Property. If the payment is not received by such time, we reserve the right to cancel your booking and levy cancellation charges as detailed below.

Should the balance of your payment be received after 60 days prior to the date of your arrival to the Property, the amount due shall be subject to an interest of 7% p.a. [Ira?]

Payment Methods

Deposit and balance payments can be made by: (a) bank transfer, (b) Visa/Mastercard, (c) Debit Card. Details will be included in the Booking Form. Need to add 3% if paid by credit?
