How Booking Works
Every Miata Roadtrips UK holiday is a complete, ready-to-go road trip: your Miata, hand-picked hotels and your Travel Book, all arranged for you. Here is how booking works, from first click to the open road.
Booking, step by step
1. Choose your road trip and month. Pick the road trip you love and the month you'd like to travel, and pay a 35% deposit online to secure your request.
2. We find your dates. We check car and hotel availability and offer you dates in your chosen month.
3. Confirm your dates. Once you accept them, your booking is confirmed.
4. Complete your booking form. We'll send you a short form for your travel and driver details.
5. Pay your balance. Pay in full, or in 3 monthly instalments if you book more than 6 months ahead. Either way, the balance is paid by 90 days before your road trip starts.
6. Pay your Car Availability Deposit. A refundable £1,000 deposit, due 4 weeks before your start date.
7. Receive your Travel Book. Once your balance is paid, we'll send your Travel Book with your hotels, route and suggested stops.
If the dates don't work out. If we can't offer dates in your chosen month, you can choose another month or have your deposit refunded in full. If you decide not to go ahead before confirming your dates, we refund your deposit less the card processing fee (around 3%).
Please don't book flights until your dates are confirmed.
Payments at a glance
Booking deposit: 35% of the road trip price, paid by card when you request your dates.
Balance: the remaining 65%, paid by card or bank transfer. Choose how you'd like to pay:
• In full: one payment, due 90 days before your start date.
• In 3 monthly instalments: available if you book more than 6 months before your start date. The final instalment is due 90 days before your start date.
If you book less than 90 days before your start date, the full price is due when you confirm your dates.
Car Availability Deposit: a separate, refundable £1,000, not part of your road trip price. We'll send you a payment request; please pay no later than 4 weeks before your start date. It is refunded in full within 14 days of the end of your road trip, provided the car is returned without damage that puts it out of service.
All prices are in pounds sterling (GBP). If you pay by bank transfer, please cover any bank charges so we receive the full amount.
If you need to cancel
Once your dates are confirmed, cancellation charges are a percentage of the total price:
• More than 90 days before your start date: 35% (your deposit)
• 60 to 89 days before: 50%
• 30 to 59 days before: 75%
• Less than 30 days before: 100%
We strongly recommend travel insurance from the day you book.
Making changes
Our road trips are carefully planned in advance, so they're not normally customised. Where we can help:
• Room upgrade: £75 plus the difference in price
• New dates: £250 plus any increase in cost for the new dates, subject to availability.
• Transfer to another person: £75, with at least 7 days' notice
• Anything that changes your itinerary, such as extra nights or a different hotel: quoted individually.
Apart from room upgrades and transfers, changes requested within 90 days of your start date are treated as a cancellation and new booking.
Good to know before you book
Drivers must be aged 25 to 78 and hold a full, valid driving licence. Both guests can drive.
One car, up to two guests. Your Miata is allocated from our pool, so we can't promise a particular colour or model year.
Pack light. The Miata has very limited luggage space. Soft bags are best, and it's up to you to check your luggage will fit.
Breakfast is included at every hotel unless your itinerary says otherwise.
Fuel is not included. Please return the car with the same fuel level you collected it with.
The small print
This page is a summary to help you plan. Your booking is made under our full [Terms and Conditions], which we recommend reading before you book. If anything here differs from the Terms and Conditions, the Terms and Conditions apply.
