How to book your holiday on the internet safely
Dear Guest,
After helping over recent years, many families who arrived in Sardinia, have undergone bitter surprise not to see expectations about the holiday booked, we decided to write a short guide that suggests how, observing a few simple precautions, reduce the risk of going against nasty surprises.
Things must do:
Always make sure to know the identity of the people with whom you speak, private or agency name with its contact person. As for bookings made directly to individuals, to protect itself in this regard, it is difficult. The best thing is to rely on individuals known of proven honesty and professionalism maybe presented by friends or acquaintances.
Check that there is a strong presence on the web. The internet site, whether it is with an agency, is essential but also a private, if work correctly, it must have a small web page with all references to proposing. If the other person doesn't exist on the internet it is better not to trust.
Verifies that the site on which you are making the reservation is a secure site. Verify it is easy, you just have to see if prior site URL it says https. (Example HTTPS://www.sitosicuro.it are up in secure site instead if thereè http9 Dear customer,

Get more references as possible about the House booked
Be wary of proposals with a very low price or with spectacular photographs, a good product always has its fair price, nobody gives you anything
Check at the time of signature of the contract, if there are any charges payable separately (as housekeeping, utilities, parking, linen) so as to keep in mind the total expenditure that support
Beware of anyone who asks you to pay a deposit low compared to the total agreed holiday It is right that you are guaranteed and that takes all the precautions possible, but also who promises you the House must be, if the landlord does not require the right safeguards might be a scammer who is content with a little at a time, repeating the same scam many times
Pay much attention to reservations made by individuals Often get send the copy of the identity card may not be enough An identity card is very easy to falsify any photo retouching program and build a fake profile and a false social security number just got easier
Beware of anyone who does not have a fixed phone number or only has unverifiable and non-trackable phone numbers
Booking through an agency or an estate check the website of all corporate data Company sites is mandatory to indicate them (registration with the Chamber of Commerce, licensing, legal, social capital, fixed addresses and telephone numbers of all locations)
Be wary of sellers who never answer the phone, do not have a landline phone number or justify their poor telephone availability
Before you make a deposit of any amount, get a contract with all conditions agreed costs and any related charges Serious and organized individuals also have a contract The contract must contain all the data of the owner/seller that must match the names that you have exchanged during the contact phase
Before making a bank transfer please make sure that the header corresponds to the site or to the person you know by booking Be wary if the Iban or account of the owner are abroad (it is very simple to verify, just check the first two letters to Italy I'm IT) Attention even when asked to make payment through money, prepaid card, postepay or money transfer agencies (such as Western Union or Money Gram) The Bank and the credit card (used) are by far the most secure and trackable payments
After sending the deposit get a signed contract or a voucher with all the particulars of the booking made and directions to find the home
Keep all e-mail correspondence, messages and payment receipts bringing all documentation below
