Cancellation policy:

All deposits and monthly payments are non-refundable without travel protection insurance and non-transferable. Additionally, you will not receive credit for future bookings. All reservations will require a deposit and will clearly note the amount due. Monthly payment terms and conditions will be advised once required.

Travel Insurance: It is the traveler’s responsibility to protect their purchase and travel insurance is strongly recommended. The traveler is advised to obtain appropriate insurance coverage against these risks. Insurance offerings are made available throughout the process and via a follow-up letter post registration.

Missing a vacation is bad enough. Losing the money you paid for your vacation is even worse. Therefore, we highly recommend travel insurance that helps provide coverage for trip cancellation, interruption, baggage loss or delay, medical expenses, and more. We can assist you with purchasing travel insurance. If you choose not to purchase travel insurance through our vendor, you will be required to sign an insurance waiver form.

Without travel insurance, you understand and agree that if you cancel or interrupt travel for any reason, all payments made to Authentic Travel Connections without travel protection will not be refunded. Authentic Travel Connections is not qualified to answer technical questions about benefits, exclusions, and conditions of any insurance policy, nor evaluate the adequacy of the prospective insured’s existing insurance coverage.

If you purchased travel insurance through Authentic Travel Connections, please contact the number on your policy to submit a claim.
