Cancellation & Refund policyCancellation & Refund policy can vary widely depending on the agency's terms and
conditions, the type of booking, the destination, and other factors. It's important
to carefully read and understand the specific cancellation policy of the travel
agency you are dealing with before making any bookings. However, I can provide
you with a general idea of what a typical cancellation policy might include:
Cancellation Fees: The fee might be a percentage of
the total booking cost or a fixed amount. This fee could increase the closer
you get to the travel date.
Refund Eligibility: Depending on when
you cancel, you might be eligible for a partial or full refund of your booking.
Refunds are typically more likely if you cancel well in advance.
Timeline for
Cancellation: Usually it takes 5 to 10 working days. The policy will specify when cancellations can be made. For example,
cancellations made within 24 hours of booking might be treated differently from
cancellations made closer to the departure date.
Non-Refundable
Bookings: Some bookings, especially those with deeply discounted rates,
might be non-refundable. This means that if you cancel, you might not receive
any refund at all.
Booking
Modifications: In some cases, you might be allowed to modify your booking (change
travel dates, passenger names, etc.) instead of cancelling, but this might
still come with fees.
Travel Insurance: Travel agencies
might offer or recommend travel insurance that covers cancellations due to
unforeseen events. This can provide an added layer of protection.
Group Bookings: If you're booking
for a group, the cancellation policy might have specific terms related to group
cancellations.
Airline and Hotel
Policies: The cancellation policies of airlines and hotels can also impact
your overall cancellation experience, as these are often subject to their own
rules.
Processing Time: The time it takes
to process is 5 to 10 working days a cancellation and issue any potential refunds can vary. The policy
might provide an estimate of this processing time.
Remember that cancellation policies can differ significantly, so it's crucial to
review the terms and conditions provided by the specific agency you're working
with. If you have any doubts or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out to the
agency's customer service for clarification before finalizing any bookings.
