The price of fuel in the United States has increased almost 45% since the time we contracted the bus companies for the 2008 Escorted Tours season. Throughout 2008, as a result of the escalating fuel prices AlliedTPro has been hit with fuel surcharges several times. Therefore after much debate we have had no choice but to pass part of the fuel increase to our clients at the following rate of £18 per person for all bookings made after 01st July 2008.
We count on your understanding in light of the unprecedented continued fuel increases over the past year. |
