Booking policy
We require a booking deposit of US $500 per passenger with the balance* falling due three months / 90 days before departure date.
If we have a special offer we require full prepayment as per the terms of the offer.
Any 'extras' or supplements must be prepaid in full at time of booking.
Payment, cancellations and refunds
1. Payment
We accept three different methods of payment:
- We use EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer): you can wire your payment directly to our bank account. This is our preferred method
- We can accept major Credit Cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express). This option unfortunately incurs a 3.75% surcharge (AmEx 4.5%)
- We use PayPal so you’ll need a valid credit card to secure your booking. This option unfortunately incurs a 4.5% surcharge.
- We do not accept online bookings - we like to speak with our guests first to make sure their Fresh Eire Adventure is suited to their ability and will meet and exceed their expectations.
Please let us know which method suits you best.
We require a booking deposit of US $500 per passenger with the balance falling due 90 days before departure date.
If we do not receive full payment 90 days before departure date, Fresh Eire Adventures will consider your reservation cancelled and your deposit will not be refundable.
*Owing to the nature of currency fluctuations (we price all our tours in $USD) we reserve the right to revise balance payments should there be a significant change in the value of the US dollar in relation to the Euro or the currency used in the tour destination. A significant change would be anything above 3% since original invoice date.
2. Cancellations
(A) CANCELLATION OF SCHEDULED CLASSIC & DELUXE TRIPS
We strongly recommend you take out suitable travel insurance so that you are covered should you need to cancel your trip (‘trip cancellation insurance’).
- In the event that you need to cancel your trip, we will be happy to refund your payments, less a $100 per passenger administration fee, in full providing you give us at least 90 days notice prior to trip date. Unfortunately, refund of deposits after this 90 day period are not possible.
- If you cancel your trip less than 60 days prior to trip date then we will refund your payments less $500 deposit, and a $100 administration fee.
- If you cancel your trip less than 30 days prior to trip date then unfortunately we cannot refund any payments.
(B) CANCELLATION OF BESPOKE OR CUSTOMIZED TRIPS
We strongly recommend you take out suitable travel insurance so that you are covered should you need to cancel your trip (‘trip cancellation insurance’).
- In the event that you need to cancel your Bespoke trip, and owing to the nature of a Bespoke (Made to Measure) Trip, we will be happy to refund your payments, less a $2,500 per passenger administration fee, in full providing you give us at least 90 days notice prior to trip date. This is to cover the substantial research and pre-trip costs which we must incur. Your trip insurance however very likely will cover any shortfall.
- In the event you need to cancel your Customized Trip, and owing to the nature of a Customized Trip (where we have created a customized or hybrid tour for an individual or couple, or group departure, and opened up custom dates to suit the customer), then we must charge a minimum of $1000 per guest. We will be happy to refund the balance if you can provide us with at least 90 days notice prior to trip date, or we can reschedule the trip subject to availability.
- If you cancel your trip less than 90 but more than 61 days prior to trip date then we will refund your payments less a $2,500 per passenger administration fee, and an administration fee (to cover 50% of the fees of Guides who might otherwise not be able to find alternative suitable work on short notice). Your trip insurance however very likely will cover any shortfall.
- If you cancel your trip less than 60 but more than 31 days prior to trip date then we will refund your payments less a $2,500 per passenger administration fee, and an administration fee (this is to cover 75% of the fees of Guides who might otherwise not be able to find alternative suitable work on short notice). Your trip insurance however very likely will cover any shortfall.
- If you cancel your trip less than 30 days prior to trip date then unfortunately we cannot guarantee any further refund of payments. However we will work with our partner hotels, private dining partners and restaurants etc to arrange a rescheduled tour. It is entirely at the discretion of the individual third party service providers to issue refunds or to facilitate a rescheduled visit. Your trip insurance however very likely will cover any shortfall.
(C) CANCELLATION OF SPECIAL PRIVATE DEPARTURES
From time to time we will run a special departure and invite previous guests to come along. Typically these sort of trips are at the Deluxe end of the market and are one-off trips. One such trip is our Croatia Bike & Sail departures.
- In the event of a guest having to cancel then we are entirely open to a guest selling their own spot. We would probably like to try sell it on their behalf first of all, or it could be a collaborative effort.
- In the event that the guest only pays a deposit to hold the cabin for example and then need to cancel then we'd have until 30 days prior to the scheduled departure date to fill the spot (however, if we can't identify someone to take your place then the balance payment would need to be paid by the Balance Due date of the invoice if you want the option to keep the place open for sale). The Deposit on a trip like this represents 50% of the sale price.
- In the unlikely event the places cannot be resold then we would refund everything except the fixed costs per guest which as part of the charter is shared by all guests who sign up. So, at the very worst, you'd be looking at around a 50% no haggle refund (cost of services, food and beverages, visits, bikes, VAT etc.); only the cost of the cabin would be forfeited.
3. Refunds
Refunds are issued at our discretion and according to our Cancellations policy. See section ‘Cancellations’ in this section.
