5. Delayed Pick-up policy: CSA allows a 30-minute leeway with agreed pick-up/reboarding times throughout the tour. Should the client/client’s group exceed this leeway, after being verbally informed of the consequences, CSA can choose to either withdraw the sidecars & terminate the tour with no refund, or choose to wait, with an additional charge of R300/sidecar per 30 minutes being levied.
6. Payment Policy: A minimum payment of 50% of the full invoiced cost is required to secure a booking unless otherwise agreed in writing with CSA. Balance outstanding must be paid in full at least 1 week prior to the outing. Failing this, CSA reserves the right to cancel the booking & withhold deposits already paid in accordance with our cancellation policy.
   1. PLEASE NOTE 1: Booking will only be secured once payment has been received. If you’re paying via a credit card, please ensure your payment has been processed by your bank.
