Furthermore, as required by law, Vamos Fugir? - agência de viagens unipessoal lda. has protection to reimburse any payments you have made and, if transport is included in the package, to ensure your repatriation if you are declared insolvent.

You can find out more about your main rights in Decree-Law no. 17/2018 of 08 March, which are also summarised below:

  • Travellers will receive all the essential information about the package before signing the contract.
  • There is always at least one operator responsible for the correct execution of all the travel services included in the contract.
  • Travellers are provided with an emergency telephone number or contact details so that they can communicate with the organiser or travel agency.
  • Travellers may transfer the package to another person, subject to reasonable notice and payment of all the additional costs involved.
  • The price of the package can only be changed in the event of an increase in specific costs (e.g. the price of fuel), if this possibility is expressly provided for in the contract and, in any case, up to 20 days before the start of the package. If the price increase is more than 8 % of the price of the package, the traveller can withdraw from the contract. If the organiser reserves the right to increase the price, the traveller is entitled to a price reduction if there is a relevant cost reduction.
  •  
  • Travellers can cancel the contract without paying a cancellation fee and obtain a full refund of any payments made if there is a significant change to any of the essential elements of the package except the price. If, before the start of the package, the operator responsible for it cancels it, travellers are entitled to a refund and, if there are grounds for doing so, compensation.
  •  
  • Travellers can cancel the contract without paying a cancellation fee before the start of the package in exceptional circumstances, for example in the event of serious security problems at the destination that could affect the package.

  • In addition, travellers can terminate the contract at any time before the start of the package by paying the appropriate termination costs.
  •  
  • If, after the start of the package, it is not possible to provide significant elements of the package, suitable alternatives must be offered to the traveller at no extra cost. The traveller may terminate the package contract without paying a termination fee if the services are not performed in accordance with the contract and this failure to comply considerably affects the performance of the package and the organiser has not remedied this failure.
  • Travellers are also entitled to a price reduction and/or compensation for damages in the event of non-performance or poor performance of travel services.
  • The organiser must provide assistance if a traveller is in difficulty.
  • If the organiser or retailer is declared insolvent, payments will be refunded. If the organiser or retailer is declared insolvent after the start of the package and if transport is included in the package, the repatriation of travellers is guaranteed.
