Understanding Costs, Conditions, and Considerations for Increasing Vehicle Height in Bookings
If you need to amend your vehicle booking due to an increase in height—such as adding a roof box—here’s what you need to know about costs, conditions, and related considerations.
Costs of Increasing Vehicle Height
The additional costs for increasing vehicle height, including roof accessories like roof boxes, vary based on factors like the total height, the journey type, and real-time availability. Some examples include:
A specific amendment to increase vehicle height to 2.20m (including a roof box) was quoted at £357.50 for a particular booking. This cost was valid until a specified deadline.
A one-way journey with increased vehicle height (including a roof box) was quoted at €91 (approximately £79 GBP) at the time of inquiry. This price applied to the outward trip while leaving the return unchanged.
Price Validity and Payment Deadlines
It's important to note that quoted prices for amendments come with limited validity periods, often requiring payment by a certain deadline (e.g., 17:30 GMT on the day of quoting). Missing these deadlines may result in:
Increased costs due to real-time price changes.
Loss of availability for the original quoted amendment.
To secure your booking amendment at the quoted rate, ensure payment is completed before the given deadline.
Inclusion of Roof Accessories in Vehicle Height
When modifying your booking to increase the vehicle height (e.g., up to 2.20m or 3m), this measurement includes any roof accessories, such as roof boxes. Be sure to account for these in your height calculations to avoid penalties or booking issues later on.
Key Takeaways
Costs are specific to height changes and journey details: Prices, like £357.50 or €91, are examples and may vary based on individual scenarios and real-time quoting systems.
Payment deadlines matter: Payment must be made by the deadline provided during quoting to lock in the cost.
Roof accessories are automatically included: Always include these measurements to ensure the booking matches your vehicle’s dimensions and avoids complications during check-in.
