Please read these terms carefully before making a booking. These Terms govern your use of the BookSaudia platform and any booking you make with us. By making a booking you agree to these Terms in full. BookSaudia is operated by AR Travel & Tours Ltd, registered in England and Wales, ATOL-protected and IATA-certified.
In compliance with Saudi Transport Authority regulations, BookSaudia is required to collect and submit a passenger manifest for all journeys. After payment, you will be requested to provide the following for each passenger:
Failure to provide complete passenger details at least 2 hours before the journey may result in the journey being unable to proceed. No refund will be issued in this circumstance.
Luggage is limited to the capacity of the booked vehicle. BookSaudia is not liable for damage to or loss of luggage.
Passengers travelling with Zamzam water or unusually large luggage must notify us at the time of booking. BookSaudia reserves the right to charge for additional vehicle capacity if luggage significantly exceeds the standard allowance.
Child seats are available on request at no additional charge. Please request a child seat when making your booking or contact us at least 24 hours before your journey. BookSaudia cannot guarantee child seat availability for requests made less than 24 hours before departure.
BookSaudia reserves the right to terminate a journey without refund if any passenger's behaviour poses a safety risk or causes significant distress to the driver or other passengers.

You may request to modify your booking (change date, time or pickup location) subject to availability. Modification requests made more than 24 hours before the journey are free of charge. Modifications requested less than 24 hours before the journey may incur an administration fee of SAR 50 / £10.
For group bookings of 10 or more passengers, cancellation must be made more than 72 hours before the journey to receive a full refund. Cancellations made within 72 hours of a group journey are non-refundable. Partial cancellations within a group booking (reducing passenger numbers) are subject to the standard schedule above.

You also have the right to refer disputes to your card issuer or to Citizens Advice (UK) or the Saudi Consumer Protection Authority (Saudi Arabia).
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. For bookings originating in or relating to Saudi Arabia, applicable Saudi law shall also apply. Any disputes shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
