1. Our own services
Ride Almería charges for two things: the online guide and the local buddy outings. That is the main way we earn money.
2. Affiliate links and commissions
For everything else (accommodation, bike hire and car hire) we are not the provider. We are an independent adviser, and we work as an affiliate: we recommend companies and, when you book with them through our links, they may pay us a commission.
- It never changes your price. You pay the same as if you went to their website directly.
- You contract with them, not with us. We do not take payment for their services.
- How it works technically. Affiliate links carry a code that identifies us. The company sets a cookie so it can credit a booking to us. See the cookie policy.
3. Who we work with
- Accommodation: Booking.com, through its affiliate partner programme (we have applied to this programme, and our links will carry an affiliate code once it is approved).
- Car hire: DiscoverCars, through its affiliate programme (we have applied to this programme, and our links will carry an affiliate code once it is approved).
- Bike hire: Fast Monkey, with whom we have an agreement under which they may pay us a commission on bookings that come from our website.
4. Our independence
We recommend the places, bikes and cars that fit these trips. A commission does not decide what we recommend, and when a link earns us nothing we still show it if it is the best option for you. We mark links that we earn from, and we do not publish paid content without telling you.
5. The rules we follow
Spanish and EU law require commercial communications to be clearly identifiable (Law 34/2002, Article 20, and the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive). This page and the notice in our footer are how we meet that duty. If you have a question, write to [email protected].
