Payments & cancellations

We're including select information from TrovaTrip's Traveler Booking Terms here for transparency and easy reference, but please read the full Terms & Conditions before making your payment. You will agree to these terms upon booking!

5.2 Down Payment Requirement.  A Traveler is required to pay a 25% down payment (“Down Payment”) per person per Booking to be confirmed. Your Down Payment is refundable until your Booking is confirmed in writing. If booked more than 90 days prior to departure, you will have 48 hours to cancel without penalty once confirmation notification is sent. If booked within 90 days of departure, your booking becomes non-refundable upon confirmation. 

5.4 Acceptance of Booking and Final Payments. Payment of the balance of the Booking price is due 90 days before the Departure Date. If this balance is not paid on or before the due date, we reserve the right to cancel your Booking, subject to the cancellation and refund policy provided below. All credits provided in this Agreement must be used within 12 months of the date of cancellation.

Cancellation by the Traveler

5.7.3 For Departure Dates more than 90 days in advance, if your Booking has been confirmed, and you cancel the Booking, outside of 48 hours from notification being sent, you shall be granted a trip credit in the amount of the Down Payment, less $100 cancellation fee for each spot cancelled. See full terms for Cancellation by the company or tour operator.

Travel insurance

Travel is unpredictable and international flights and tours are expensive! YOU SHOULD ABSOLUTELY BUY TRAVEL INSURANCE at the time of booking to cover unexpected cancellations, illness or injury, lost baggage, or other expenses. You can compare plans online and purchase from any provider. We can't require that you purchase your own travel insurance, but seriously, trust us. Life happens and we want you to be safe and covered.

Community guidelines

Safety is our top priority and we take the wellbeing of our community seriously. All travelers and hosts must agree to the TrovaTrip Community Guidelines as outlined here: trovatrip.com/about/community-guidelines and the Silent Book Club community guidelines posted here: silentbook.club/pages/community-guidelines.
