Flight Arrangements with our Partner, Auto Europe
We partner with Auto Europe to offer our guests excellent rates on airfares for our UnTours. Here’s how it works:
- We collect your contact information and the details of your flight requests and pass them on to our colleagues at Auto Europe.
- An Auto Europe representative will contact you by phone and/or email within two business days. You will work directly with Auto Europe to get the best itinerary.
- Upon your approval of flights for ticketing, your payment will be made directly to Auto Europe by credit card. They will issue your e-ticket.
- Seating preferences are available upon request, although at an extra charge depending on the airline.
- All communication about flights, costs, ticketing, seats, etc. for Auto Europe-booked flights will be between the client and Auto Europe, and UnTours will be copied on the itineraries.
Why should I arrange my flights with Auto Europe?
- Auto Europe can often reserve flights at cheaper fares than what is advertised online. (Though this is not a guarantee.)
- Auto Europe offers excellent service, with a larger staff and longer opening hours than ours.
- Because of Auto Europe’s volume, they have exclusive contracts with many airlines and can often offer more generous fare rules regarding ticket cancellations and changes.

- Is there any advantage to booking our air through UnTours’ air partner? Auto Europe knows which airlines and connections work best to our destinations. If they book your air, they can sometimes help if you need to make a change to your itinerary, though these changes often involve additional fees. If problems arise (like a change in schedule or delays due to a strike) They’ll do their best to help.
