All apartments are selected with great care to ensure the best value for money. As local property managers, we provide the best rates in the market.

1. CONTRACT

The rental contract, which you enter into with DuTrip as an agent, you as a lessee actually conclude with the apartment/villa house owner as a lessor. DuTrip acts exclusively as an agent and it shall be liable only as an agent. By paying an advance for the reservation of the selected apartment/villa in the demanded period you unconditionally accept these General Business Terms and Conditions. DuTrip retains the right of change of these General conditions which shall be published on the web page of DuTrip www.dubrovniktrip.com and which come into force on the day of publishing. After DuTrip receives the payment of the reservation advance, it shall send a written apartment/villa reservation confirmation to the guest. A written reservation confirmation with these General Business Terms and Conditions makes a Rental contract between the guest as a lessee and owner as a lessor. It is important that you check confirmation you receive from us immediately on receipt. You must contact us straight away if any information appears to be incorrect as it may not be possible to make changes later.


2. PRICES AND PAYMENT

The payment by credit cards is made in Croatian Kuna. If you have a different currency on your credit card a conversion to Croatian Kunas will be made by your credit card company. The reservation is binding, and a certain percentage of advance payment is required at the reservation, after which the reservation is confirmed, the contract with the owner is concluded and these General Business Terms and Conditions, which make a constituent part of the apartment/villa rental contract is accepted. After the completion of the reservation process and payment DuTrip shall send a written reservation confirmation by email and it represents a Rental contract concluded with the owner. The rental contract is considered concluded at the moment when DuTrip receives the paid advance amount. The rest of the amount will be paid upon arrival in cash or with bank transfer. The costs of water, gas, electric power and internet as well as bed-linen, towels, kitchen towels, final cleaning of the interior, maintenance of the swimming-pool and exterior, registration of stay and residential tax and the value added tax are included in the accommodation rental price.

The permitted payment method for the advance payment are: credit cards (Master Card, Visa, Maestro and American). The amount that will be charged on your foreign credit card is in Croatian Kunas (Kn). If you have a different currency on your credit card, a conversion to Croatian Kunas will be made by your credit card company. As a result of this conversion it is possible to have small deviations between the price shown on our web site and the one charged on your credit card. DuTrip cannot be responsible for the exchange rate differences or fees of other bank institutions.

In case of reservation cancellation, all the payments which are made to DuTrip cannot be returned because DuTrip forwards the payments to the owners according to an agreement with owners.
