The website is operated by Quote My Journey Limited ("we", "us", "our", “QMJ”). We are registered in England and Wales under company number 15268067 and have our registered office at 2 Clarkson Avenue, Heckmondwike, West Yorkshire, WF16 9JZ, England.

We are the data controller for the purpose of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) May 2018 and we will be bound by the Privacy Policy in relation to the storage and use of your personal data.

We are a search facility for Customers looking to hire a vehicle, and an advertising service for Partners. We do not own, inspect or provide content for any of the Partners advertised on our site. Where you see photographs or videos we do not warrant that we have conducted any inspection of the vehicles.

Partners, Customers or any other person shall not use our site for any marketing or advertising purposes which are not permitted by us. Any such use of our site shall, at our discretion, result in us refusing to list the partner and/or discontinuing the ability of the person infringing this provision from using our site.

Your safety

Consideration should always be given to the nature of quotations and contracts transacted on the Internet, and the risks involved. Direct contact between Partners and Customers in relation to a booking may not occur, so you must therefore proceed with care and judgement when using our site. It is the responsibility of the Customer to check directly with the Partner if they are unsure about any arrangements of the booking.

Customer Claims

Any contract for the hire of any vehicle through us is directly between a Partner and a Customer (each a “Booking Contract”) and we are not a party to that contract.

In recognition of this, you acknowledge that any claim you may have that is in any way connected with a dispute you have with a Partner on our site must be brought directly against that Partner and not against us

If you make a booking using our site, you agree to the terms of the booking contract with the Partner. As a result, Quote My Journey does not have a Cancellation and Refund Policy and the Customer is subject to the Partner’s own Cancellation / Refund Policy.

Although we may provide the platform to enable such bookings, we are not responsible for the payment solutions themselves and we are not a party to the contract between a Customer and a Partner. A Customer shall not hold us liable for any losses suffered as a result of making a payment to a Partner.

You agree to indemnify and keep us indemnified from and against any and all claims, actions, proceedings, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including legal fees) suffered arising out of or in connection with your use of our site.

Cancellation and Refunds

During the normal course of business, it is likely that there will be occasions when the Customer may need to cancel their booking.

If the Customer does have to cancel a booking:

Cancellations should be managed directly with Partners. We take no responsibility for related charges and cite Partner T&C’s for resolution
We encourage Customers to check their travel insurance as depending on their reasons for cancelling the Customer may be covered by their policy. For instance, “Force Majeure (Acts of God)” such as flooding, heavy snowfall or illness may all be covered in their policy

If the Partner needs to cancel a booking:

Refer to the Partner’s T&Cs for resolution.
