Last-minute travel booking sites operate internationally and sell flights, accommodation and packages.
We could not confirm an official website for an organisation trading under this name, so no number is published here. An unverified number sends people to whoever happens to answer it, which is exactly the mechanism behind contact-detail fraud.
An online travel agency holds your booking, not the airline or the hotel. A change or a refund goes through the agency that issued it, which is the commonest reason a refund goes in circles.
This page covers how to contact Last Minute in South Africa. The details below were taken from the official Last Minute contact page rather than from any third-party directory.
ContactDetails.co.za is an independent directory. We are not Last Minute and cannot act on your behalf. Everything on this page is a routing aid so you reach the right official channel quickly.
Last Minute contact numbers
We could not identify an official source for an organisation trading under this name. There is no website we could confirm belongs to it, so there was nothing official to read a contact number from.
We have deliberately not published a number here. An unverified number is worse than none: it sends people to whoever happens to answer it, which is exactly the mechanism behind contact-detail scams.
Self-service options before you call
- Check the organisation’s own official website, which carries the current contact details.
- Calling outside peak times. Monday mornings and the hour after 17:00 are usually the worst for South African contact centres.
What to have ready before you call
- A clear one line summary of what you need resolved.
- Your account, order or reference number if you already have one.
- The identity document or account holder details, since most South African providers verify who you are before discussing an account.
- Dates, amounts and any error message exactly as it appeared.
- A pen and paper for the reference number. Ask for one every time, because without it a follow up call starts from nothing.
Travel insurance: the rule that decides the claim
- Phone the assistance line before treatment where you can. Travel policies require pre-authorisation for hospital admission, and paying first and claiming later is where travel claims are cut down.
- Cover is tied to the trip you declared. Extending the trip, changing the destination or travelling to an excluded country ends the cover without notice.
- Pre-existing medical conditions must be declared, and undeclared ones are the most common reason a serious overseas medical claim is refused.
- Adventure activities are usually excluded unless specifically added, and the definition is broader than people expect.
- Keep every document. Boarding passes, medical reports, receipts and the police report for theft are all normally required, and they cannot be obtained after you have flown home.
Save the assistance number somewhere that does not need the internet, and take a photograph of the policy schedule. Both are needed at the moment when your phone may be the only thing you still have.
Complaints and escalation
If a first call does not resolve the matter, escalate through the organisation’s own process in the country where it operates. South African escalation routes do not apply to an organisation based elsewhere.
Keep a short written log of each contact: the date, the channel you used, the name of the agent and the reference number. Most consumer complaint processes ask for exactly that history, and having it ready is usually the difference between a fast resolution and starting over.
Avoiding fake Last Minute contact numbers
Contact details for well known South African brands are a common target for impersonation. Numbers that look official appear in search ads, social media replies and cloned websites, and the person answering is not Last Minute.
- Reach Last Minute through the official site at its official website rather than through a number in a search advert or a social media reply.
- Last Minute will never ask you for your full card number, PIN, CVV, online banking password or a one time PIN. Nobody legitimate needs those to help you.
- Treat any caller who creates urgency, asks you to install remote access software, or asks you to move money to a safe account as fraudulent, and end the call.
- If you are unsure whether a call was genuine, hang up and dial the official number yourself rather than calling back a number the caller gave you.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Last Minute contact number?
We do not publish one, because we could not confirm a number on an official source. Numbers do circulate on directory sites, and we do not republish those.
How do I know a Last Minute number is genuine?
Check it against the official site at its official website. A number that only appears in a search advert, a social media reply or a third-party directory should not be trusted for anything involving your account, your money or your identity document.
What should I do if nobody resolves my query?
Ask for the complaint reference and the escalation path on your first call, then follow the escalation route described above. Keep the dates, agent names and reference numbers, because every formal complaint process will ask for them.
Can ContactDetails.co.za resolve this for me?
No. We are an independent directory, not Last Minute, and we have no access to your account. Everything here is a routing aid so that you reach the correct official channel with the right information in hand.
Is there a cost to calling these numbers?
South African 0860 and 0861 numbers are charged at a share-call or standard rate depending on your provider, and 0800 numbers are toll free from a landline. Calls from a mobile are billed at your own operator’s rate, so check your plan if cost matters.
