How to order.
Step1. Planning.
Caucasus part:
If you have 5 people in your group the Lite Package cost is 4400 Rubles per
person, if more than 5 people the cost is 4000 Rubles per person in other case the cost is 4900 Rubles per
person. Multiply number of people by the LP cost.
Next step is transportation from Mineralnye Vody to Elbrus area. If there are
more than 3 people in your group you have to order a minibus. If you are alone
or in a group of 3 people you can order a car. We do not recommend to order
a backward transportation in advance, because there may be possibility to share
the transportation with other people on your way back.
Shared transfer on the way From MinVody to Elbrus area: If we have a group on
a particular date and vacant places in the bus we can pick up additional people
at the airport. In many cases the availability may be confirmed only several
days before departure. In this case we suggest to order a private transportation
beforehand but if a shared transportation becomes available we will inform you
and will refund money for the private transfer.
Our on-line
"Order Form" (left menu) will help you with calculations and ordering.
Moscow part:
It is easy to calculate how much does this cost.
The only comment about hotel is that there
are no triple rooms in the hotel we offer so if you are a group of 3 people
you will be forced to book twin + single rooms.
Consideration about transfers
is that getting from airports is always very expensive if you take a taxi right
at the airport. That is why it is cheaper to order a transfer FROM AIRPORT through
us than to take a taxi. On the other hand taking a taxi TO AIRPORT may be cheaper
than our transfer and also makes your more flexible. That is why probably it is better to take a taxi for
transportation from hotel to airport. Hotels has a taxi service
and also if you walk 100 m from hotel you can find a car for sometimes twice cheaper
price without any problem. Also you can go by public buses and underground (metro).
Our on-line "Order Form" (left menu) will help you with calculations and ordering.
Payments:
We can not accept credit cards or checks. The possibilities are: a bank
wire transfer or Western Union www.westernunion.com
cash transfers. We will send our payment details along with invoice. Payment for the Lite Package and all additional services (extras) must be made completely in advance within specified number of days after our confirmation.
Our prices in 2009 are fixed in Russian Rubles. You can see the today's price in Euro and USD in the table above or calculate the amount using our Currency Calculator (left menu item). More about payment terms and conditions please find here.
We can not accept cards but if you have to pay balance for us in the Caucasus (because of any service requested later on or because there was not exact amount paid)
you can cash your card in a local bank office. They accept Master Card, Cirrus/Maestro
