Payment Details and Cancellation Terms
Here is a clear breakdown of your payment options, designed specifically for secure and efficient high-end bookings.
1. Credit Card Payment (Recommended for Speed)
Why should I make payment using a credit card?
Credit card payment is the fastest and most convenient method for securing your exclusive reservation. We receive immediate payment approval, which allows us to confirm all your complex reservations (hotels, private flights, secure transfers) without delay, guaranteeing your dates and itinerary instantly.
Why is there a 4% charge?
The 4% surcharge applied to credit card transactions is a standard fee imposed by the issuing bank/payment processor for handling the international transaction. This charge is an external banking cost and covers the fees associated with the payment gateway and transaction security.
2. Direct Wire Transfer (for Larger Sums)
How do I make a direct wire transfer?
A Direct Wire Transfer can be initiated through your personal online banking platform or by physically visiting your local bank branch. It is absolutely essential that the beneficiary’s account details provided to you are entered accurately to ensure the funds are credited correctly and to prevent any delays or disputes.
How much are bank charges for the beneficiary bank account?
While the sending bank will have its own charges, the receiving (beneficiary) bank may also levy a fee. You should set aside approximately $25 – $75 as a provision to cover these potential intermediary and beneficiary bank charges.
What’s the turnaround time for the payment to get to us?
An international direct wire transfer is the slower option. It typically takes up to 7 business days (excluding weekends and holidays) for the funds to be officially credited to our account after you initiate the transfer.
