Should we need to process a refund these credit card fees are non-refundable in addition to any cancellation fees in effect at the time of withdrawal as they are not returned to us by the credit card companies 

Quest Sports Travel must fulfill responsibilities with vendors (e.g. airlines, hotels) in advance of the tour and is therefore only able to refund cancellations as follows (per person):

Until 12/10/21 = No Penalty
Cancel after 12/09/21 but before 02/10/22 = $425 penalty per person 
Cancel after 02/09/22 but before 04/10/22 = $850 penalty per person
Cancel after 04/09/22 but before 05/13/22 = $1250 penalty per person
Cancel after 05/12/22 = No refund

All cancellations must be in writing (email) and received by Quest Sports Travel before the stated dates in order to receive the appropriate refund. Refund payments are made as quickly as vendor reimbursements allow.

Please note, if you purchase Travel Insurance whether through our recommended provider Travelex or independently, Insurance Premiums are also non refundable in addition to the penalty amounts listed above.

Force Majeure - In the event Quest Sports Travel is unable to perform its obligations under the terms of this Agreement because of acts of God, pandemic or other causes reasonably beyond its control, Quest Sports Travel shall not be liable for damages beyond the amounts agreed in the cancellation policy from such failure to perform or otherwise from such causes.

***Review the Covid Policy tab for details on how the pandemic could effect the published cancellation policy

Our primary goal is for you to travel safely and with confidence.

Our Cancellation Policy has been developed with vendors to extend "no penalty" stages as long as possible. Dates published in the cancellation policy allow full refunds for a far greater period of time than pre-Covid tours allowed.

Both air and land vendors do require some cancellation fees once we get within a certain time from departure. These will apply in all instances.

If travel is limited before the full refund period expires we will discuss with the group whether to proceed or cancel in time to protect everyone's deposits.

As occurred in 2020, should travel become limited again after the full refund date passes, Quest Sports Travel will utilize best efforts to re-negotiate these contracts with vendors. Industry standard is to provide credit for future travel in lieu of non-refundable deposits - so we anticipate a credit option again should the tour have to be cancelled once we pass the full refund date.

Force Majeure. In the event Quest Sports Travel is unable to perform its obligations under the terms of this Agreement because of acts of God, pandemic or other causes reasonably beyond its control, Quest Sports Travel shall not be liable for damages beyond the amounts agreed in the cancellation policy from such failure to perform or otherwise from such causes.

Travel Protection is recommended and available through Travelex Insurance. These policies include medical coverage while playing sport internationally (most policies become void if you are injured while playing) as well as allowing cancellation for medical issues or bereavement.

In your confirmation email you will be given a link to purchase insurance. Premiums offered vary depending on who (age) is traveling.

For more info on the policies offered please visit the Travel Insurance page of our website.
