Payment Methods For UK residents :
At the moment we are quite restricted in the ways we can accept your payments, we are
very sorry for this inconvenience we are working towards sorting this out as soon as
possible. The ways in whic we can accept your (UK residence) payments are as follows.
1) Cash Over The Counter : You can make a payment over the cashier counter of any Bank of Scotland or some Halifax Branches. You will need our account details for this which we can provide you with upon written request. There will be no charges for this sort of transaction, and is the easiest and cleanest form of payment as it is cleared funds straight away.
2)Bank Transfer or Telephone Banking : This sort of payment is very popular, all you do is pass our account details to your bank and ask them to make a payment into this account or you can (some banks) make online payment through your bank like paying a bill. You will have to speak to your bank for any charges which might apply for this sort of transaction. Be aware this sort of transaction takes 3/5 working days to clear, hence it is no good for people who need our products within a week
of booking at least.
3) Bankers Draft : This is a payment method which your bank writes out their own cheque to cover the amount and ofcourse it comes out of your account immediately. Some banks charge for this service, please enquire with them for any potential charge. This method could take upto 3 working days to clear, hence again not good for people using our products within 7 days of booking. If you prefer this method please get your bank to make the cheque payable to "Rooms And Cars".
4) Personal Cheques : You can also send us your own cheques. No charge is made by your bank for this sort of transaction (unless otherwise stated by your bank). You can make the cheque payable to "Rooms And Cars".

5) Pay Pal : This is the most popular online payment scheme. After booking provisionally, we will send you an email requesting payment for the amount due via the PayPal website.

This website will allow you to use any credit card, after verifying you as the card holder. There is a charge for this type of payment of 2%, If this is your choice of payment then the 2% will be added to the total. The actual charge by PayPal is 4% for this, which they don't charge the buyer (yourselves) but charges the seller (us), hence we feel it is only right for you to share that charge with us, so we half the charge, and you pay that (2%) as a surcharge. Once registered and verified you then just follow their easy stepto make payment. You can then use this payment method for anything, anywhere and any currency.Although you can pay any currency, we would require to pay our products with £ (Pound Sterling). 6) Other : Payments outside the banking system
