RESERVATIONS: All reservation deposits are refundable within 48 hours. After 48 hours, deposits and payments are non-refundable as a result of contractual obligations with our various vendors.

REGISTRATION: A registration/processing fee is associated with all bookings; your initial deposit is your registration/processing fee.

Reservation Changes: You can make up to 2 changes to your group (for free). After the 2nd change to an existing reservation, whatever the cause, you will incur a $25-$50 charge plus any additional vendor fees. If changes are made 30 days prior to the trip, guests will be responsible for change fees, if applicable. This includes name changes and removal of any services such as optional tours and transfers. Replacing a traveling passenger with another traveling passenger constitutes a cancellation, subject to cancellation penalties, and is not covered by this Reservation Changes policy. There are no refunds for unused services for a package.

Email your cancellation request to info@trippintravelinc.com with your booking ID number, full name, and date of travel.

You may resell your package to another person; however, you CANNOT TRANSFER MONEY to someone else within that group or any other group. It is your responsibility to resell your package and provide this notification in writing with the replacement name. Payments must continue to be made monthly to keep the reservation secured. If cancellation occurs where one or more travelers alters the room occupancy requirements, the remaining travelers will be required to pay a revised occupancy rate. We regret that we cannot make exceptions to this policy for personal emergencies or for any reason, including weather, acts of God, pandemic, terrorism, government shutdown, civil unrest, or government action (deployment).

PAYMENTS: Our merchant account allows our clients to make payments using all major credit and debit cards. The monthly payment is due between the 1st and the 15th of the month. All payments are due on or before payment due date as specified per event unless specifically stated. If payment is more than 10 days late, we have the right to cancel the reservation and all monies paid to date will be forfeited.

METHOD OF PAYMENTS: Payments can be made online on our website. Paying online with your credit card is the most convenient method of payment. “Pay with a Credit or Debit Card, this payment option is made available through a secured merchant processing gateway, and your credit card is not stored on our website. After browsing our site for packages you wish to purchase, you can place your order online. This information is completely confidential, and will not be revealed due to the secured gateway method. You will be issued a receipt with an invoice number. Each guest is able to view their individual payment record online and check their balances owed. Payments made through our secure gateway, are assessed a service fee and travelers are responsible for such fees. This fee is automatically calculated in your payment. Service fee charges do not decrease your trip balance.

FINAL PAYMENTS: All final payments are due on the date specified on the event package. Any payments received after the deadline date will incur a $25-$50 late fee and will need to be paid no later than 10 days after the payment deadline date or you are at risk of your room being forfeited.

To grant an extension on your final payment, you cannot be behind on your monthly payments. NO EXCEPTIONS.

REFUNDS: All payments to Trippin Travel Enterprise are non-refundable and non-transferable after 48 hours. This is because Trippin Travel Enterprise has contractual agreements with hotels, other vendors that will not allow us to obtain any refunds. This way we can keep our package prices competitive and allow you to make monthly payments on your vacation. If you purchased Travel Insurance through any carrier, you will need to go through the process of your selected carrier.

• Trippin Travel Enterprise will only issue a full refund with a written email that is received within 48 hours after the first deposit is made. After 48 hours, all deposits and payments are non-refundable as a result of contractual obligations with our various vendors.
• If the event has been postponed/cancelled, a refund is provided minus the registration/processing fee and late fees (if applicable), regardless of insurance carrier or not.

Prices do not include items of a personal nature such as laundry, wines, water, beverages, food (other than at all-inclusive resorts or where clearly specified), passport and visa fees, insurance, and foreign port taxes unless specifically indicated in the package inclusions. Prices are correct at time of publication; tour package prices and availability may change accordingly. In case of human or computer error, Trippin Travel Enterprise reserves the right to re-invoice for the correct price or service. A full refund will be made to passengers who choose not to pay an increase, provided Trippin Travel Enterprise receives a written cancellation within five days of the price increase notification.

TRAVEL PROTECTION: Missing a vacation is bad enough. Losing the money you paid for your vacation is even worse. Therefore, we highly recommend Travel Protection that helps provide coverage for Trip Cancellation, Interruption, Baggage Loss or Delay, Medical Expenses and more. You are required to purchase travel insurance yourself for domestic and international tours.

TRAVEL INSURANCE: Travel Insurance is available for purchase through a 3rd party. Some restrictions may apply to travel insurance for covered reasons, so it is your responsibility to contact the travel insurance company and determine the right plan for your needs.

WHY IS MY PAYMENT NON-REFUNDABLE? We, Trippin’ Travel, are providing you with a service as a result of our contractual obligations with our various vendors such as hotels, promoters, excursion companies, etc. The vendors require upfront commitments that we have to adhere to. By partnering with these vendors, Trippin’ Travel has the ability of creating our customers a payment process which allows them to take advantage of the affordability aspect of a payment plan. In efforts of maintaining a healthy partnership with our vendors to provide our customers with a dream-explore-discover experience, all sales are final and non-refundable after 48 hours after registration.

HOTEL ACCOMMODATIONS: All rooms requested are standard 1 King, 1-2 Queen, 1-2 Double or 2 Twin-bed rooms. Please understand although we will make a bed type request on your behalf, bed types are subject to availability. Room selection in all cases is strictly at the discretion of the hotel's management on a run-of-house basis. Triple and quad occupancy rooms consist of two beds for hotel cruises. Some hotel rooms are smaller than a standard room size. The number of persons accommodated does not dictate the room size. Although available at most 4 and 5-star hotels, use of air-conditioning abroad differs greatly from the United States. Many European hotels were built before central air-conditioning was introduced. Air-conditioning is often shut down at night and from the end until the start of the summer months. All hotel rates are based on Trippin Travel Enterprise agreements with its suppliers and are not negotiable. Hotel check-in time is generally not before 3:00 p.m. and check-out time are prior to noon. Please be sure that adequate arrangements for accommodations have been taken into consideration when a late-night flight is being used. We reserve the right to make substitutions with hotels of equal standard. There will be no refunds for any difference in the cost of those accommodations.
