Your travel has been booked by Rascals Travel (“us” or “we”), on the basis of the following terms and conditions. The enclosed ticket(s) (“voucher(s)”) have been booked by us on your behalf with various Service Providers. Each Service Provider may have their own terms & conditions applying to your travel. It is important that you read the relevant & corresponding brochure for each of your bookings in order to understand all applicable terms & conditions. If you require additional information to that contained in the brochure then we recommend that you contact us and/or the Service Provider for further clarification. Cancellations & Refunds: Credit card fees and other additional fees paid to us are not transferable or refundable. If you cancel your travel, we endeavour to keep the same cancellation policy as you would have had booking directly with the operator, the fee to cancel a trip within a 365 day period is at least 10% of the total amount paid. This % is likely to increase the sooner you leave it to the date of departure. If your trip is cancelled by the ‘operator’ and is no longer going ahead then you will receive a 100% refund minus any fees that we have incurred during the booking process. Please note that in the case of Natural Disasters (eg flood, re, cyclone, etc) many service providers do not offer any refunds, hence we cannot provide a refund to you. We strongly recommend Travel Insurance to cover this situation. Whilst we normally attempt to process refunds swiftly, situations (such as natural disasters) may result in up to 7 days processing time, due to high volume. By purchasing a cancellation insurance policy at the time of entry into these terms and conditions you can reduce all risk of being subject to various fees and unexpected costs as a result of unforeseen circumstances and changes.
