Payments and Payment Plans
All payments to "Travelista Chronicles" are non-refundable and non-transferable. This is because Travelista Chronicles has contractual agreements with hotels, airlines, and other vendors that will not allow us to obtain any refunds. This way we can keep our package prices low and allow you to make monthly payments on your vacation.
Should you opt-in to our payment plan program, your invoice will clearly note your due dates and amount. We suggest you put this payment plan on your personal calendar. Your payment is late 5 days after the due date, after 15 days your trip will be cancelled. After more than 2 late payments, you must sign up for "Auto Pay".
Travel Insurance
Missing a vacation is bad enough. Losing the money you paid for your vacation is even worse. Trip insurance is therefore highly recommended. Your premium is related to your trip cost, so you don’t have to worry about being over-insured.
