Refund Policy

Travel arrangements for any member of the party may be cancelled at any time by written notice by the person who made the booking. If notice of cancellation is received by Unusual Escapes before final payment is due (Generally, 45 days before the start of the trip for International Trips & 30 days in case of Domestic Trips, the deposit will be refunded after deduction of 15% of the total trip cost. If cancellation is made after final payment is due cancellation fees will apply as per the cancellation rules mentioned in the Trip Brochure. Notice of cancellation must be made in writing directly to Unusual Escapes.

If a traveler fails to join the trip on the day of departure, cancellation fees will be 100% (unless the guest notifies us of the delay and joins the trip later at their own expense). 

 
Cancellation fees and charges will include any amounts that we have paid or have contractually committed to pay to third parties to deliver your travel arrangements which we cannot reasonably recover (for example payments made or due to airlines, transport and hotels). Any payments we have made to third parties will only be refunded to you once we have deducted the above cancellation fees and charges and once we have actually recovered the amounts from the third parties 

Unusual Escapes reserves the right, to modify or cancel any trip, accommodation, in-destination activity or arrangement, (definite or not), at any time.

If full payment is not received by the due date, Unusual Escapes has the right to cancel your reservation and no refund will be made. Unusual Escapes will not be responsible for lost reservations. 

If the cancellation by Unusual Escapes is not as a result of a Force Majeure Event, Unusual Escapes will provide an alternative comparable trip (if available), if an alternative is not available then a refund will be made. Unusual Escapes is not liable for any cancellation or change cost or penalties incurred on other travel arrangements, including air travel that may be affected thereby. Unusual Escapes is not responsible for other travel arrangements that you or your party have made outside Unusual Escapes and which are affected by our cancellations. 

Early return expenses are the traveler’s responsibility. There is no refund for absence or early departure from a trip, including but not limited to missed hotels, transfers, meals or sightseeing cruises or optional extensions. 

Air-inclusive bookings and some intra-trip flights require an additional non-refundable deposit at time of booking which may be up to 100% of the flight cost. If an air reservation is made by Unusual Escapes, full payment may be required for your airfare at the time of booking. This will be regardless of future price fluctuations up or down. When booking a trip including flights, you will be required, at the time of booking, to provide us the full name as detailed on the passport, passport number, nationality, date and place of issue for each traveler. Unusual Escapes does not hold an allocation of air seats and all flight reservations are made on request and are subject to the terms and conditions of the airline. Changes to flight itineraries and name changes and/or corrections may either not be allowed or may result in penalties charged by the airline. These are the traveler’s responsibility along with the fees charged as described above. Airlines (and other travel providers including Unusual Escapes) change prices and routes from time to time. All air routings are in the sole control of the airline and are subject to change at any time.
