Contract

The Terms and Conditions will form the contract between Auto Tours Global CORP, DBA Auto Tours USA and the person making/paying for the booking.

Hotels & Rental Car

Auto Tours USA offers retail travel services to customers, which are provided by separate and independent vendors of travel services. We do not operate, control, or otherwise provide the services of the independent travel vendors.

This information includes, but is not limited to, details on the extent of coverage and procedures for making a claim. Please note that the travel insurance provider may not be allowed to discuss your claim with Auto Tours USA due to privacy laws (e.g. HIPAA). Traveler(s) acknowledge and agree that Auto Tours USA has no control over the travel insurance provider or its coverage decisions, and as a result Auto Tours USA is not responsible for and shall not be liable for policy coverage, claims processing, or the denial of any claims.

Cancellations/Refunds/Change
