Using a Book-Direct Code at Checkout
Updated 3 min read
If you've picked up a book-direct code — printed on a previous receipt, shared by a partner, handed to you by a hotel or a colleague — it's meant to be used, and entering it is a small, specific step in an otherwise ordinary booking. Here's where it goes and what to expect once you've typed it in.
This guide covers the mechanics of using a code you already have; it isn't a source of new codes or a place to find current offers.

Where to enter a code
At checkout, there's a field for a book-direct or promo code before you complete payment. Enter it there and it's applied to your booking before you pay, not after — so whatever effect it has on your price is visible in the fixed price you're shown before you commit, exactly like any other part of the fare.
Checking the terms before you pay
Whatever a specific code does — its conditions, its scope, whether it applies to your particular route or vehicle category — is shown to you at checkout once it's entered, before you pay. If a code doesn't apply to your booking for any reason, you'll see that at the same point, rather than finding out afterward.
If a code doesn't work
Codes can be tied to a specific partner, a specific time window, or specific conditions that don't always carry over to every booking. If yours doesn't apply and you think it should, get in touch with the details of where you received it and we can look into it — but the checkout screen itself is the definitive answer on whether it's currently valid for your trip.
Why 'book direct' codes exist
A book-direct code is usually a way of recognising that you found us through a specific channel — a partner, a hotel, a returning customer relationship — rather than a random discount. That's part of why the terms attached to a given code can vary: they're tied to the arrangement behind that particular code, which checkout reads and applies automatically once you've entered it.

Questions people ask before booking
Where do I enter a book-direct or promo code?
At checkout, before you complete payment — there's a specific field for it, and its effect is shown in your price before you pay.
Will I see what the code actually does before I pay?
Yes — its terms and effect on your price are shown at checkout once entered, before payment, the same way the rest of your fixed price is.
My code isn't working — what should I do?
Contact us with details of where you received it. Codes can be tied to specific partners or conditions that don't apply to every booking.
Where do I find a current code if I don't have one?
This guide covers how to use a code you already have. For current offers, check wherever you'd normally hear from us or from the partner who might issue one.
Does using a code change the cancellation terms?
No — free cancellation more than 12 hours before pickup applies the same way regardless of whether a code was used.
Why do different codes seem to have different terms?
Each code is tied to the specific arrangement behind it — a partner, a hotel, a returning customer relationship — which checkout reads and applies once entered.
Can I use more than one code on the same booking?
Enter it at checkout and the system will tell you whether it can be combined with anything else — the terms shown at that point are the definitive answer for your specific booking.
