Refund Policy

At Travo Call, we strive to provide transparent and fair refund policies for all bookings made through our platform. This Refund Policy outlines the terms and conditions for refunds on flights, hotels, car rentals, and vacation packages. By making a reservation with Travo Call, you agree to abide by the refund terms set forth by our service providers and as outlined in this policy.

Please note that refund eligibility, processing times, and any applicable fees vary depending on the type of service, fare type, timing of the cancellation request, and the specific policies of our service providers. We recommend reviewing the refund terms at the time of booking and considering travel insurance for additional protection.

Flight Refunds

Flight refund policies are determined by individual airlines and vary based on fare type, route, and timing of cancellation. Below are the general guidelines for flight refunds processed through Travo Call:

  • Refundable Fares: Eligible for a full refund if canceled at least 24 hours before departure. A cancellation fee may apply for some fare types.
  • Non-Refundable Fares: Generally not eligible for cash refunds but may be converted to travel credits or future flight vouchers, subject to airline policies and change fees.
  • 24-Hour Rule: Most airlines offer a full refund for bookings canceled within 24 hours of purchase, provided the booking was made at least 7 days before departure.
  • Partially Used Tickets: Refunds for partially used tickets are calculated based on the fare of the unused segments, minus any applicable fees and fare differences.
  • Airline-Initiated Cancellations: If the airline cancels your flight, you are entitled to a full refund regardless of fare type.
  • Schedule Changes: Significant schedule changes (typically 2+ hours for domestic flights, 4+ hours for international flights) may qualify for a full refund if the new schedule doesn't work for you.

To request a flight refund, log in to your Travo Call account, navigate to "My Bookings," select the flight reservation, and follow the refund request process. Alternatively, contact our customer support team for assistance.

Hotel Refunds

Hotel refund policies vary by property, rate type, and booking conditions. The following are general guidelines for hotel refunds:

  • Free Cancellation Rates: Eligible for a full refund if canceled within the free cancellation window, typically 24-72 hours before check-in.
  • Non-Refundable Rates: Generally not eligible for refunds but may be offered a credit for future stays at the discretion of the hotel.
  • Prepaid Rates: May offer partial refunds depending on how far in advance the cancellation is made. The closer to the check-in date, the higher the cancellation fee.
  • No-Show Refunds: Generally not eligible for refunds if you fail to arrive without prior cancellation.
  • Early Departure: If you check out early, you may be charged for the entire reservation or a reduced rate depending on the hotel's policy.
  • Quality Issues: If your stay doesn't meet expectations due to hotel-related issues (cleanliness, amenities not as advertised, etc.), contact our customer support immediately for potential partial refunds.

Hotel refund requests should be made through your Travo Call account under "My Bookings." Some hotels may require direct contact for refund requests, in which case our customer support team can guide you through the process.

Car Rental Refunds

Car rental refund policies depend on the rental company, vehicle type, and reservation details. Below are the general terms for car rental refunds:

  • Standard Cancellations: Most rental companies offer full refunds for cancellations made 24-48 hours before the scheduled pickup time.
  • Prepaid Rentals: May offer partial refunds if canceled within the allowed timeframe, often with a cancellation fee that increases closer to the pickup date.
  • No-Show Refunds: Generally not eligible for refunds if you fail to pick up the rental vehicle without prior cancellation.
  • Early Return: Some rental companies offer prorated refunds for early returns, while others may charge a minimum rental period fee.
  • Vehicle Issues: If the rental vehicle has mechanical issues or doesn't match the reserved category, contact the rental company immediately and notify Travo Call for potential refunds or upgrades.
  • Insurance and Add-ons: Refunds for unused insurance and additional services may be available if canceled before the rental period begins.

To request a car rental refund, access your Travo Call account, locate the reservation under "My Bookings," and follow the refund request instructions. For immediate issues during your rental period, contact both the rental company and Travo Call customer support.

Package Deal Refunds

For vacation packages combining flights, hotels, and/or car rentals, refund policies are typically more complex and may include:

  • Component-Based Refunds: Refunds for package deals are calculated based on the refund policies of each component (flight, hotel, car rental) in the package.
  • Package Cancellation Fees: In addition to individual component fees, package deals may have separate cancellation fees that apply to the bundle.
  • Partial Refunds: Canceling individual components of a package may result in re-pricing of remaining components or additional fees.
  • Early Booking Discounts: Packages booked with early-bird discounts may have non-refundable deposits or reduced refund eligibility.
  • Group Packages: Group vacation packages often have stricter refund policies, typically requiring cancellation 60-90 days in advance for a full refund.

  • Travel Credits/Vouchers: In lieu of cash refunds, you may opt for travel credits or vouchers, which may include additional value as an incentive.
  • Partial Refunds: If only part of your booking is eligible for refund, the refund will be processed proportionally.

Refund Fees and Deductions

Depending on the type of booking and timing of the cancellation, certain fees and deductions may apply to refunds:

  • Cancellation Fees: Many service providers charge cancellation fees that increase as the travel date approaches.
  • Fare Differences: If you've made changes to your booking, fare differences may be deducted from any refund amount.
  • Service Fees: Travo Call may charge service fees for processing refunds, particularly for complex bookings or multiple changes.
  • No-Show Fees: Failure to cancel before the service date typically results in the loss of the entire booking value.
  • Currency Conversion Fees: For international bookings, currency conversion differences may affect the final refund amount.

All applicable fees and deductions will be clearly communicated before you confirm your refund request.

Exceptions and Special Circumstances

In certain situations, exceptions to standard refund policies may apply:

  • Medical Emergencies: With proper documentation (doctor's note), some service providers may offer more flexible refund terms.
  • Natural Disasters: In the event of natural disasters or severe weather affecting your travel, airlines, hotels, and rental companies may offer full refunds regardless of fare type.
  • Government Travel Restrictions: If government-imposed travel restrictions prevent your trip, you may be eligible for a full refund regardless of the fare type.
  • Death in the Family: Some providers offer compassionate refund policies with appropriate documentation.
  • Military Deployment: Active military personnel may be eligible for special refund considerations with proper documentation.

For exceptions and special circumstances, please contact our customer support team with relevant documentation for review. Each case is evaluated individually based on the service provider's policies and the nature of the situation.

Travo Call strongly recommends purchasing travel insurance to protect your investment in case of unexpected cancellations. Travel insurance may cover:

  • Trip cancellation for covered reasons including illness, injury, or death of you, your travel companion, or family member
  • Trip interruption for covered reasons
  • Missed connections due to carrier-caused delays
  • Weather-related cancellations and delays
  • Lost, stolen, or damaged baggage
  • Medical emergencies during travel

Travel insurance can be purchased during the booking process on Travo Call or through your preferred insurance provider. Please review the insurance policy carefully to understand covered reasons for cancellation and any exclusions.
