Webjet Marketing Pty Ltd is not the agent of Webjet Ltd for any other purpose connected with the Service.
What We May Do
Because we are reliant on the availability of seats, airfare rules and their associated pricing levels from either the airline directly or their distributing partners, we reserve the right to amend your booking in consultation with you in the event of an error by these third parties. In such circumstances additional fare charges may have to be paid by you and/or your itinerary may need to be changed to comply with either the fare rule and/or availability of seats.
You acknowledge that some of the material accessible through the Service is provided by third parties. This material does not form part of the Service, and we are not responsible for this material. Where the Service provides the facility to enter into transactions with third parties, you acknowledge that the goods or services offered by these third parties do not form part of the Service, and that we are not responsible for those third parties or the goods or services they offer. Airlines and other third party travel providers impose different terms and conditions on the sale of specific travel products featured on this site. You should carefully read all the terms and conditions specific to the product you are booking before finalising your travel transaction.
You grant us an ongoing consent to use your information to promote and market our products and services and make other offers to you (including by making telemarketing calls to you, and sending you electronic messages including via email and SMS).

You also authorise your credit card issuer or financial institution to verify that the credit card and identification details you have provided to us are accurate. You authorise our agents to take steps to confirm that there is sufficient credit on your credit card account to meet likely charges.

We may amend this agreement at any time by posting the revised version of the agreement to the Webjet web site. The amended agreement will take effect from the time of posting on the Webjet web site.

Webjet reserves the right to charge amendment or cancellation fees depending on circumstances and airline conditions.
Before we proceed to issue your airline ticket or process any travel booking on your behalf, various checks are taking place to validate the integrity of credit card information and in certain circumstances the credit card holder will be required to submit verification documentation to substantiate identity. The intent of this process is to reduce any potential risk for fraud and disruption to passengers upon check in. In circumstances where we cannot contact the card holder and the ticket issuance period lapses thereby making the booking invalid, we will have no choice but to cancel the booked arrangements. Under these circumstances we accept no responsibility for any re-booking costs.
We reserve the right at our absolute discretion to decline or accept bookings made from outside Australia. Any automatic booking confirmations for such bookings are conditional contingent on our view of any financial risks, potential ticket despatch delays, or other international regulations that may apply.
Finally, please note, any confirmed booking is subject to your credit card approval for the transaction. In an eventuality where your credit card is not approved we will attempt to contact you but hold no responsibility for any subsequent non provision of services in the event we are unable to establish contact with you.

Fees and Charges
Flights
Processing Fee and Booking Price Guarantee:
The Webjet Processing Fee and Booking Price Guarantee applies per booking which can include multiple passengers and products, includes GST and is non refundable. This will be charged to your credit card within 24 hours of booking.
Credit Card Surcharges:
For some international mix-and-match flights Webjet’s flights results page indicates that some return flight pricing has been converted to NZD at the exchange rate on the day of booking. Variations to your final price may occur due to currency fluctuations. Please note, where any pricing has been converted from a foreign currency to NZD your credit card company may charge a conversion fee.
Hotels
Webjet Hotel Processing fee: $10.00 per hotel stay booked.
The hotel booking price is guaranteed in the local currency of the hotel location and has been converted to New Zealand dollars (where applicable) at the current rate of exchange. The price in New Zealand dollars may vary as a result of currency exchange fluctuations and as such can only be used as a guide.
Your credit card details will be supplied to the hotel to secure your booking and you will be required at check-in to provide your credit card.
Full payment for your hotel will be required at time of check out from your hotel. For hotel bookings outside Australia & New Zealand, prices displayed may not include applicable local taxes in which case these will be advised at time of check out from your hotel.
In the event that you need to cancel your booking, you must advise Webjet as early as possible before your check-in date, as failure to do so will result in minimally a one night room charge charged by the hotel to your credit card. Most (but not all) hotels will allow you to cancel without charge, up to one day prior to check-in. Changes to hotel bookings can normally be made without penalty.
Hotels are supplied by third parties at contract prices displayed in the site. Webjet may receive additional commissions from the sale of these products. Webjet acts as agent for a variety of hotel suppliers and does not have a contractual relationship with the hotels available through the Webjet website. Accordingly, Webjet cannot verify the accuracy of the hotel information on the Webjet website (including availability).
Rental Cars
Webjet Processing fee: $3.95 per car rental booked.
Note: this processing fee is waived is a car is booked in conjunction with a flight in the same booking.
The car rental booking price is guaranteed in the local currency of the car rental location and has been converted to New Zealand dollars (where applicable) at the current rate of exchange. The price in New Zealand dollars may vary as a result of currency exchange fluctuations and as such can only be used as a guide.
Your credit card details will be supplied to the car rental company to secure your booking and you will be required at car pick-up to provide your credit card.
Full payment for your car will be required at time of car pick-up or drop-off, depending upon the car rental company.
In the event that you need to cancel your booking, you must advise the car rental company direct.
Passports and Visas
Please ensure you have a valid Passport and a Visa (as applicable) to the countries you are travelling to.
All departing passengers require a valid passport for international travel. This means the passport must be valid for a set minimum period beyond your travel dates and is often variable depending on the country you visit.
A reminder if you are travelling overseas it is your responsibility to ensure you have a valid Passport and Visa where required. To assist you, both in determining whether you require a visa and the processing of your application online, please go to: http://www.passports.govt.nz/
Please ensure you check that you have a valid passport well in advance of travel as either the airline staff or immigration authorities will not allow you to pass through customs and board your flight without this documentation.
Visas
A visa provides you with the authority as a non-citizen to travel to another country.
Visas are obtained from the issuing authority in New Zealand, usually an embassy. Visa requirements vary by both country you are travelling to and the current citizenship you hold so please ensure you check well in advance of your travel dates to allow sufficient processing time as required by the embassy.
Either airline staff or immigration authorities may not allow you to pass through customs and board your flight without the appropriate Visa.
