The $0 deposit promotion is only valid for new bookings on worldwide trips made between 20th July and 20th August, booked directly via contiki.com or with Contiki reservations team. Available to Australian and New Zealand residents only. The standard deposit of AUD $200 for Australian bookings and NZD $200 for New Zealand bookings is due within 30 days of the booking date. Where the full payment deadline (60 days prior to departure) falls before this 30-day period expires, full payment of the total trip cost is due by that earlier date. If the deposit is not paid within the 30-day period then the booking is automatically cancelled. Failure to make full payment by the applicable final payment deadline will also result in automatic cancellation of the booking. Deposit payments can be made by either clicking the payment link on the invoice and paying online at contiki.com or contacting the Contiki reservations team. Trips departing in 60 days or less are not eligible for the $0 deposit promotion. If Air is booked then standard air payment conditions apply and the 30-day deposit deferment period will not apply.
