After a brief chat about your travel needs and style we will research and quote you options in your destination of choice and VIP your booking where available. There is no charge for a single hotel booking and VIP amenities if available.

Note: This option does not include custom itinerary components and is for single destination only.

Travel Insurance

Price Quote: Provided Per Trip

Art of the Escape Travel highly recommends for every traveler to protect all non-refundable travel components via a travel protection policy. It is also recommended that Travel Advisor fees are included in your coverage. Travel is an investment and change of plans or emergencies can happen when you least expect it.  Another important fact to keep in mind is that most health insurance policies will not cover you and/or your family when you are out of the country. Art of the Escape Travel will provide reputable Travel Insurance quotes along with each trip quote we provide.

Note: As travel insurance is optional, clients must sign a waiver or acceptance form per trip.

Cancellation Policy

FEE: 10% of Total Trip Cost

Art of the Escape Travel makes every effort to ensure your travel experience is top notch.  We leverage an extensive network of partner, affiliate and personal relationships to achieve this.  Therefore, any cancellations for CONFIRMED bookings are subject to a 10% cancellation fee of total trip cost (not inclusive of airfare - land arrangements only).

This fee is separate to cancellation fees imposed by any supplier with whom client has confirmed bookings.

Change Fee Policy

If changes are requested after agreed trip design and booking, we will try to assist in any way.  However, we cannot guarantee we will always be able to do this as changes are subject to availability at the time and to the provider’s terms and conditions.  Certain travel arrangements may not be changeable after a reservation has been made and any alteration request (including name and date changes) can incur a cancellation charge of up to 100% for that part of the arrangement.  In addition, we will also apply administration charges of $50 for each person on the booking and for each item you want to change.

Travel insurance is highly recommended as sometimes events happen that are outside of our control and it is important to protect your travel investment in the event of unforeseen circumstances.
