Strongly recommended. Travel insurance protects against unforeseen events like illness, injury, trip cancellation, lost luggage, and travel delays. We work with leading insurance providers and can include a tailored policy in your quote. Insurance must be purchased at the time of booking or within 14 days to cover pre-existing conditions.
If your cancellation is due to covered circumstances (illness, injury, family emergency, etc.) and you have travel insurance, you may be able to reclaim cancellation charges from your insurance provider. We'll provide all necessary documentation to support your claim.
Refunds, where applicable per the cancellation policy, are processed within 14 business days of the cancellation notification. Refunds are issued to the original payment method. Please note that the 20% deposit is always non-refundable as it covers our administrative costs and supplier commitments.
