The flyers are responsible for cancelation fees, that will get evaluate by OrbTickets along with the travel suppliers for hotel reservations, flight tickets, car rental bookings, and other travel services.
For instance, you may not get permission to make partial changes or cancelations for a single product which is part of the package by the travel suppliers. In such cases, all services, such as car, air, and hotel, must be modified at the same time. Contact an OrbTickets customer service representative & get more information on your vacation package.
Once your trip has started, changes and refunds will not be allowed for early check-out, unused portions of the vacation package, and car rental returns.
OrbTickets charges a service fee to implement any changes or cancellations to a vacation package. However, the charges are based as per flyer, per ticket for flights are upto $100, for car bookings $10, and $25 per room per night towards hotels, including any applicable fare differences and fees charged by the Travel Supplier.
If a portion of your vacation package is eligible for a refund, the refund will be the original amount paid minus any applicable cancellation fees. However, there will be no refund for any part of the package that has been partially used or not used.
