Pricing error?

Hi, I have just been quoted a price for a flydrive holiday next year and it is nearly half the price I was expecting, so I am worried they have made a mistake.
If I booked it would they have to honour the price or could they come back later and change it?

    Just ask for an invoice in writing / by email before paying & then there is nothing they can do about the price once you have paid a deposit.

    Afraid that's not really the case!

    OP it depends how realistic the price is, if for example it was £150pp for a peak departure they could I'm sure cancel your booking if they contacted you in reasonable time... it all boils down to the T&C's

    They couldn't just take more money though, they would either have to cancel & refund or let you have it so I say give it a go but don't be disappointed if you get a call :D

  • are you sure the price quoted includes everything, insurance CDW extras etc, and that you dont have to pay that when you get to your destination.
