CHARGES
Gariep 2007/2008
Containers leave for South Africa at the end of the European season, so flying starts late November at Gariep. Excellent soaring conditions continue until late March, however, the overseas containers return for Europe at the end of January and the flying activity tapers off.
Discount for Low Season
To encourage better utilisation of the facilities over the whole period,
the summer has been divided into Low and Peak Season,
as depicted below. For those flying at Gariep on a tight budget, we
suggest you visit us during the Low Season, where in addition, accommodation
and international flights will be at bargain rates.

The deposit to cover damage must be paid before the glider is flown and

with us on arrival and may be in the form of cash or signed travellers
cheques.
Additional gliders from overseas visitors may be available
for hire.

South African pilots
Please request the
above schedule in local currency.
Terms
A 20% deposit is required when booking a glider or shade parking, balance
payable in full before flying commences. If a booking is cancelled, the
deposit, less bank charges, is only refundable if the glider or shade
parking is successfully hired to someone else for that entire period.
A booking is not considered firm by Gariep Gliding Centre, until a 20%
deposit is received. The first person to send a deposit for any period,
secures that aircraft or shade park.
Shade parking rates are based on overlapping wings of adjacent gliders
in bays designated by Gariep Gliding Centre. Hangar parking, if available,
is subject to a surcharge and limited to 15 & 18m gliders only.
Aerotows and other variables are payable before departure.
Weekly charges are from Sunday until the next Saturday. Part weeks are
charged proportionally, plus 40% to cover costs of underutilised facilities
and personnel.
Only major currencies are accepted. Credit cards and personal cheques
in foreign currency are not acceptable.
Refunds or credits are unfortunately not possible due to poor weather,
or pilot ill health.
Gariep Gliding Centre does not accept responsibility for the costs incurred
by visiting pilots and their families, if any occurrence to a booked glider
or tow plane results in its unavailability. Gariep Gliding Centre will
try to find alternative arrangements to assist the pilots affected. Gariep
Gliding Centre is also not responsible for accommodation or travel problems.
Payments must be made directly to Gariep Gliding Centre, South Africa.
We will provide details of our bank account once you have completed the
enquiry and booking form. We will provide details of how to make payments
for the hire of privately owned gliders. The entire hire fee must be paid
before arrival at Gariep. The damage deposit must be handed to the owner
or Gariep Gliding Centre before any flying commences.
