ARRIVAL & DEPARTURE
Normal check-in time is 4 pm and check-out is at 10 am unless otherwise arranged with our Operations Team. Our team will contact you at least 2 weeks before arrival to inform you of your check-in procedure at the villa and location of the keys.
The lead client will be required to complete a simple registration form to validate the Villa insurance. We will need to collect the locally charged ECO tax of €2.20 per person per night and will also need to collect everybody’s names and Passport numbers if they have not been entered onto your booking details prior to arrival. This is a legal requirement, the same as when you check into a hotel, so please ensure you have your Passports ready at check-in. We can arrange a transfer to your villa if required and If you are arriving late at night, please make sure you let us know in advance so we can make arrangements for the secure handover of your keys.
It is your responsibility to remove daily rubbish from the premises. In Spain, all rubbish is taken to centralized bins which your villa rep will point out to you at check-in. Many clients do not have a car, therefore, we can offer a Rubbish Collection service for just 75 euros for stays of 1 week or less which your villa rep will collect on arrival at the villa. If you do not wish to use this service, you will be responsible for removing all rubbish and we will require a credit card at check in to pre-authorize 100 euros in the event of any rubbish being left at the premises. This amount will only be taken if any rubbish is left at the villa.
SAFETY AND SECURITY - IS IBIZA SAFE?
One of the most common questions we hear from first time visitors to the island is often “Is Ibiza Safe?”
All of the Ibiza Villas 2000 team live in Ibiza all year round with our families, and have done so for many years. We know from experience that the island is generally a very safe place, with a fantastic community spirit among its diverse population.
Ibiza is generally a really safe and friendly place to enjoy your holiday and has a lower crime rate than many other parts of Spain. Staying safe in Ibiza is really only a matter of common sense; not bringing vast amounts of cash or valuables, using the safety deposit boxes provided for smaller items, passports, etc, and securing your villa properly.
VILLA RENTAL SCAMS
Your booking is safe with Ibiza Villas 2000
In recent months there has been a great deal of coverage in the UK media about villa rental scams, where people have unwittingly handed over large amounts of money to secure a villa that either does not exist or is not for rent by the person the money has been paid to. This doesn’t only happen in Ibiza of course, but in all lucrative villa rental markets across Europe. Villa rental scams are on the rise.
Ibiza Villas 2000 have been operating in Ibiza for 20 years. During that period we have looked after over 100,000 guests in our villas. All of our villas are either owned or leased by our company. We do not operate on an agency basis. We pay for all our villas upfront at the beginning of the season and hold exclusive contracts on the properties which means no one else can rent them without coming through us first. We know all our villas inside out and are more than happy to talk to you over the phone about them, not only to help you make your choice but for you to feel reassured that you will get the villa you are paying for!
HOW TO CHECK IF AN IBIZA VILLA RENTAL COMPANY IS SAFE & LEGAL?
How to check if an Ibiza villa rental company is safe and legal is becoming increasingly important.
Like any popular tourist hotspot, Ibiza attracts all kinds of folk. Mainly, our beautiful island attracts good, honest people, coming over to the island for their precious holiday having grafted and saved to make it happen.
The flip-side of that are the small, but rotten apples that without prior warning, can spoil the whole cart. Scurrilous characters that seek to cash-in on the huge popularity of destinations such as Ibiza, by setting up scam websites, claiming to offer Ibiza villas for rent which in reality, the scammer has no access to. Every year, people are scammed out of their hard-earned savings. Paying deposits for their dream villa rental, only to arrive at their holiday destination and find that in fact, the villa was never booked, their deposit has vanished and they are completely stranded with nowhere to stay. Heartbreaking.
If the villa rental company is legal and registered with the Ibiza Villa Association (AVAT – Asociación de Viviendas Turísticas Vacacionales) then the website will display the AVAT logo on their website, just like you can see on the footer of every page on our website.
ACCIDENT DAMAGE WAIVER & SECURITY DEPOSIT
The Accident Damage Waiver
The Accident Damage Waiver (ADW) is a unique product which replaces our security deposit. We’ve been operating the security deposit for the last 17 years and have found that it causes more harm than good. Click learn more to see a few of the reasons why:
- Group leaders spend too much time collecting payments from their group towards the security deposit.
- Large deposits are often an unwelcome, hefty, extra expense for guests who would rather have the cash to spend on holiday.
- When there is a problem and we have to deduct money, this can cause disagreements and bad feelings.
- We want everyone to return home happy, sometimes a deduction from the security deposit can spoil your holiday. This is the last thing we want.
- Management of the security deposit is huge. Collection, administration and refunding the deposit takes a long time.
