Please note many of our rental partners are still operating and that a 14-day campervan trip does meet the requirements of self-isolation. 

With recent travel restrictions imposed by a number of countries, we wanted to share the revised cancellation policies of our rental partners and how they may impact your booking.

We appreciate that many people are having to self-isolate for many reasons such as:

Why not take an Apollo RV and go wherever you wish? You can stay close to home and plugin on your drive or head off to explore the USA, there are plenty of places to escape the crowds.

BUDGET CAMPERS Update

With the ongoing uncertainty being experienced with the Covoid-19 (Coronavirus) Budget, Freedom and Tui Campers are giving the very highest priority to the health and safety for all of their customers and staff. With regard to that, they have made changes to our cancellation policy, which of course is subject to continued change as the global situation evolves.

Today, Monday 16th March 2020, bookings can be transferred to a future date, with completion by 20 December 2020. There will be no charge for these date changes, however, any rate increase will be applicable. We will hold and transfer the current value of the hire to a new booking; there will be no refund of any reduced days or if the daily rate is less than what is being paid now. The benefit is that you do not suffer any loss of deposit or booking fees and the exchange rate does not alter for this portion of your hire costs.

Alternatively, if you wish to cancel and be refunded, then standard cancellation fees will apply.

CANCELLATIONS

Once a booking has been confirmed and a deposit paid the booking is considered live and is subject to the cancellation policy. The deposit is forfeited if bookings are canceled 29 days and over of departure.

  • 29 days and over deposit retained
  • 20 – 29 days 20% of total reservation cost
  • 10 – 19 days 40% of total reservation cost
  • 1 – 9 days 75% of total reservation cost
  • No Show 100% of total reservation cost

In all cases the minimum amount retained is the deposit.

CRUISE AMERICA & CANADA (Updated 24-Mar-20)

We continue to monitor the situation closely with regards to the travel ban and restrictions surrounding Covid-19 for International travelers affected traveling to the USA and Canada and have now updated our policy for reservations and cancellations to all Cruise America & Cruise Canada departures as follows:

  • Cancellations: For all Cruise America and Cruise Canada departures (for International travelers affected) booked to depart through to May 31st, 2020, Cruise America and Cruise Canada shall waive ALL cancellation fees.
  • Reservations Changes and Re-bookings (with 20% discount!): For all departures during this period (for International travelers affected) booked to depart through to May 31st, 2020, Cruise America & Cruise Canada will be happy to modify or change any bookings during this departure period to any other dates during the 2020 season. In the cases where clients are willing and able to rebook their trips, we will offer a 20% discount on daily flex rate and mileage from the current Cruise America & Cruise Canada offer at the time of rebooking.

Details of Re-booking offer with 20% discount:

  • We do understand that due to European Travel regulations, some tour operators may have no choice but to cancel every booking during the official travel ban period (currently in effect through April 12th). In these cases, if the client cancels and then re-books, we will treat this the same as a change or modification and we will happily honor the 20% incentive mentioned above.
  • If the affected booking is a one-way, a one-way approval will be necessary before the re-booking can be confirmed.
  • Group bookings are not included in the above offer – please contact Cruise America / Cruise Canada reservations directly to discuss re-booking options for existing Groups.
  • Example: Client A is scheduled to depart April 1st for a 20 day rental from LAX to LAX. Client A elects to change the reservation or cancels and re-books the reservation for departure June 15th for a 20 day rental from LAX to LAX. In this case, all terms of the new departure dates as per Cruise America’s (or Cruise Canada for Canadian rentals) current program (current published flex rates, current specials, etc.) shall apply, less 20% discount on all time and miles.
