General Package information:

- Fabvaca LLC expressly reserves the right to correct any pricing errors on our website and or reservations made under an incorrect price. In such an event, if available, we will offer you the opportunity to keep your reservation at the correct price or we will cancel your reservation without penalty.

Unfortunately, some airline fares do not allow us to hold a seat at a certain price unless it is ticketed by a certain time limit. Airlines only give us 24 hours to void a ticket that has been issued.

We strongly recommend that you select flights with a minimum of 2 hours to make your connection time. Many flights displayed on our site will have much shorter connection times. You are responsible for selecting the right itinerary for you and we can't be responsible for any misconnections due to tight connections that might affect your itinerary.

It is your responsibility to reconfirm your flights directly with the airlines at least 72 hours prior to your departure date (outbound and inbound).

It is also your responsibility to verify luggage allowance with each airline. Please note your itinerary may include two or more airlines, and the luggage allowed on each flight may differ from one airline company to another. You may contact us to view/modify your seat numbers at any time. Fabvaca LLC does not control seat numbers availability on a plane. Seat numbers are released by airlines reservations system so we can't block them on your behalf.

Some airlines block their availability of seat numbers for certain flights, and they reserve the right to not offer certain seats.

When booking a child under the age of 2 years old they WILL NOT get a seat rather it will be considered a lap baby. The infant will require a ticket number and a fee, or taxes are subject to each airline's rules.
Please make sure if you purchase the booking online you call to add the legal name of your infant or "lap baby" and authorize fee.

Airlines occasionally create overbooked conditions. Fabvaca LLC cannot be held responsible for these situations and will not refund moneys for such situations since they are beyond our control. Passengers need to present and resolve their compensation issues to the airline directly at the time the situation arises.

We will not refund any money due to passengers arriving late for check-in.

Passengers should plan to check in 3 hours prior international flight times and 2 hours prior regional flight times.

Passengers are responsible for verifying their air itineraries with the airline 24 hours before departure. We will not refund moneys for missed flights due to airline schedule changes.

Airline tickets - Missed or Cancelled segments.

Any missed segments can result in cancellation/no show which in turn means no value of the proceeding segments of travel. Customers MUST always contact us PRIOR to departure should they need to cancel the airline tickets last minute. Airline tickets are issued as 1 ticket so if the passenger misses the first flight the airline will cancel ALL proceeding flights.

If a client needs an international outbound flight cancelled. Please note all other segments attached to this ticket will be cancelled. Client will need to re-purchase a new ticket for travel.

Fabvaca LLC airline tickets cannot be altered or upgraded with mileage/reward programs with any participating airline. Classes of service will not be changed after ticket is issued. Our fares do not allow for such changes.

Hotels

Our list of hotels available for a city changes according to your date selection.

Our "Favorites" hotels list is determined by a score from customer reviews and our team based on location, rating and value. We do not receive any type of compensation or incentive from hotels to be included in our recommended list.

The score is a percentage. The higher the percentage the better the hotel in the eyes of its reviewers. Generally, in larger cities we only offer hotels with a core higher than 80%.

We encourage you to explore other hotel options before booking your trip. Room (s) confirmed will accommodate the number of passengers included in your reservation. Bedding (number of beds in room and size of beds) is not guaranteed and subject to hotel availability at time of check in. Reservations confirmed as twin rooms will generally include 02 twin size beds and will accommodate a maximum of 2 adults. Reservations confirmed as double rooms will generally include 01 double size (matrimonial) bed and will accommodate a maximum of 2 adults. Triple rooms will generally accommodate 3 adults and the bedding can be 2 twin beds + 1 pull out sofa or 01 double bed + 1 pull out sofa or 3 twin beds or whatever bedding is offered by the hotel itself. Quad rooms will generally accommodate 4 adults with a variety of bedding combinations (4 twin beds or 2 twin beds + 1 pull out sofa or 1 double bed + 1 twin bed + 1 pull out sofa or whatever bedding is offered by the hotel itself.

Examples of special requests are: early check in, late check out, smoking rooms, non-smoking rooms, bedding request (number of beds and/or size of beds), floor number, view (unless specified in reservation), etc.

If a non-refundable property is booked during the booking process the client is responsible for the TOTAL price of the non-refundable property that has been reserved. 

All hotel descriptions reflect the most updated information provided by the property at time of printing Fabvaca LLC cannot be held responsible for the condition of accommodations. There may be charges applicable for some amenities listed in these descriptions as free, and availability may vary by season. In these instances, Fabvaca LLC is not responsible for any charges incurred by the traveler in utilizing such amenities and client agrees not to make Fabvaca LLC responsible for the availability and/or accessibility of any and all facilities and services at time of stay. Client will notify any dissatisfaction with rooms or hotel facilities with the hotel's management during the passenger's stay and will not make Fabvaca LLC responsible for the dissatisfaction. Hotels, at times, just like airlines, create overbooking conditions. In overbooking cases, compensation and arranging accommodations in another hotel is the responsibility of the hotel and passengers must negotiate all compensation with the hotel during the stay and not make Fabvaca LLC responsible for any financial compensation due to the overbooking situation.

Fabvaca LLC is not responsible for any changes initiated by the passenger after departure.

Our prices do not include additional expenses such as laundry, parking, alcoholic beverages (except when included), excess baggage charges, baggage insurance, meals (except as indicated in itineraries), items of a personal nature, tips and gratuities of any kind.

We will not refund monies for dissatisfaction with the conditions of a property, its rooms, facilities or services. Please take note that the lower the price the lower the quality.

Please note that departure taxes may be incurred depending on the city of accommodation. These taxes range from 6.00 to 75.00 USD per person per night depending on hotel class/rate. These taxes are to be paid to the hotel directly as they are considered a city tax.

Trains

General Train information for Asia:

All Japan Rail Pass Exchange Orders are non-refundable once issued.

Japan Rail Pass Exchange Orders included in your prepaid package are booked in the Japanese Rail System 30 to 60 days prior to your departure date to Japan. Some premier trains in Japan have limited availability. Schedules and routes are subject to change.

Please note that during heavy travel periods you cannot be guaranteed a seat on a specific train. Exchange Orders are paper documents that are shipped to clients no later than 30 days prior to departure (unless delayed due to special circumstances).

After clients arrive in Japan, they must turn in the Exchange Order to receive their Japan Rail Pass at an applicable JR station that has a Japan Rail Pass exchange office. At the exchange office, clients will be required to fill in a short application form and to show their passport with the Temporary Visitor stamp/sticker they received on entry into Japan. Client MUST show their passport and this stamp/sticker to process the Japan Rail Pass Exchange Order.

The validity period of a Japan Rail Pass is the consecutive 7, 14 or 21 days beginning on the date the Pass is first used. Once the Pass has a starting date written on it, the date cannot be changed.

The Japan Rail Pass is NOT valid for NOZOMI Shinkansen trains.

We will not refund monies for Exchange Orders that have been lost, stolen or left at home. You must have physical Exchange Orders in your possession to exchange for the Japan Rail Pass. Failure to hold physical Exchange Orders will result in passengers purchasing new point to point train tickets at the train station at their own expense.

General Train information for Europe:

Train rides included in your prepaid package are booked in the European Rail System 30 to 120 days prior to the train date of service. Some overnight premier trains in Europe have limited availability.

Schedules and routes are subject to change. Train tickets are paper documents that are shipped to clients no later than 30 days prior to departure (unless delayed due to special circumstances).

Clients must validate their tickets at each train station before boarding. Train controllers may impose a penalty on board if passengers failed to validate their tickets. Such penalties are collected in local currency and must be paid with cash.

Train tickets can be issued with: 1. Confirmed times or 2. Open times.

Tickets with Confirmed times must be used as reserved; otherwise, ticket loses its value. We will not refund monies to clients who have missed the scheduled departure time of their train.

Time Changes on confirmed, ticketed reservations are subject to change penalties.

Train times are not guaranteed until confirmed and are subject to availability.

Open tickets are issued for a particular date and clients are free to select the departure time of their preference at the train station.

Depending on the departure time the client chooses they may be required to pay for a supplemental seat reservation at the train station before boarding. Such fee cannot be collected by European Destinations in advance.

We will not refund monies for train tickets that have been lost, stolen or left at home. You must have physical tickets in your possessions to board trains in Europe. Failure to hold physical train tickets will result in passengers purchasing new tickets at the train station at their own expense.

Car Rentals

We require a minimum of 3 consecutive days to confirm car rentals. Rental periods are based on 24-hour increments from the time of check out. There is often no difference in price for a 5, 6 or 7 day rental periods. Some countries do require that you present an International Driver's License at time of pick up, in order to check out the rental vehicle. The cost of an IDL is usually around US$ 20 - US$ 30 and can be purchased at your local AAA office or your local DMV. An IDL is a translation booklet that is carried with your government issued driver's license when driving outside of the US. It is intended for the foreign officials to be able to read your actual state issued driver's license. IDL's are typically translated into French, Spanish, English, Italian, Russian, Arabic, German, Chinese, Japanese and Portuguese. Our car rental broker offers two different types of car rental rates. The Basic rate will include public liability and fire insurance (you would have to use your credit card locally in order to cover CDW and Theft). Please make sure you have a major credit card to pick up the car rental locally. A lot of car rental companies will not allow you to pick up the car without a major credit card for incidentals. Debit cards will not be allowed with some suppliers. The Inclusive rate includes public liability, fire insurance, CDW and Theft Protection. Be sure to check your voucher or ask a reservation agent for the deductible amount on the CDW and Theft if taking the Inclusive rate. Our website offers the INCLUSIVE RATE only. If for any reason we fail to offer the INCLUSIVE rate on our website, and the BASIC rate is offered instead, we encourage you to request a change of policy, as insurance is much more expensive in Europe than pre-purchasing.

CDW (Collision Damage Waiver) is a provision in car rental contracts in which the renter is charged an extra fee for coverage and in turn the rental company agrees to waive its right to recoup losses due to damage that has been caused to the vehicle. Most policies come with a non-waiverable deductible that the renter is responsible for if damage is done to the rental vehicle. Often times the deductible amount can be lowered by purchasing Super CDW or zero excess insurance at time of pick up. Many major US and Canadian credit cards will cover this insurance for 30 days and 45 days, respectively. Please be sure to check with your credit card company to make sure they cover CDW. CDW is also known as LDW (Loss Damage Waiver). Liability Insurance covers the renter for damage or bodily harm to persons and/or property outside of the rental vehicle. In the case of driver negligence, liability insurances are rendered VOID. Theft protection: In the event the rental vehicle is stolen, this insurance covers the renter. Just like CDW, theft protection will also come with a non-waiverable deductible. If your rental vehicle is stolen, a police report must be filled out within 24 hours of the theft and the car rental company must be notified. Many US credit cards will provide this insurance for European rentals, along with CDW. Please be sure to check with your credit card company to find out what kind of coverage you have. Some countries apply a fee for extra drivers. Please check with us to get detailed info about extra drivers. When a rental car is returned to a location different from its origin, it is considered a One Way rental. There are two types of One Way Rentals: domestic one ways are within the same country and international one ways occur when the vehicle is returned to a different country. Domestic one ways are generally free of charge, if a fee applies for a domestic one way, you will be advised. International one ways mean hefty fees. There are also restrictions on what type of vehicles are allowed on one ways. If you are booking a one way rental, you will be advised if it is allowed and if a fee applies at the time you create your reservation. Combining countries in Europe with rent-a-cars involves heavy one way fees which are not included in our price. These one way fees are given to us once reservation is confirmed. We are sorry we can not provide you with a quote for inter-country one way fee without having a confirmation number. In the event that your rental vehicle was to become undrivable during your rental, the supplier should provide you with roadside assistance for breakdown and towing. The phone number for the roadside assistance is usually on the rental agreement, on the key chain or in the glove box. Please be sure to check your rental agreement for further details.

Sightseeing Tours

Our basic packages do NOT include sightseeing tours. Sightseeing tours are optional services you can add to your itinerary while building your package with your designated travel agent.

Sightseeing tours are operated by independent local tour operators. Some Tour Operators may include a hotel pick up, while others may require that you meet the tour group at a particular location.

Some tours do not operate every day of the week. Some tours do not operate on holidays (i.e. Easter, Christmas Eve, Christmas day, New Year's Eve and New Year's day). Pick up times and locations will be listed on your travel vouchers.

For tours within Europe & Asia:

Even though a hotel pick up may not be included in the tour description (and therefore it is not included in our price), some Tour Operators may provide a "free/complimentary" hotel pick up, if the hotel is located close to their Meeting Point or in the historic center. Tour Operators do not provide us with a list of the hotels where they can or cannot offer this complimentary service. Depending on the country you are visiting Clients must call our vendor 24 hours before their sightseeing tour to find out if a hotel pick up can be arranged. If for any reason passengers miss the free/complimentary pick up, or if for any reason the tour operator fails to show up, they are NOT entitled to a refund for the hotel transfer.

Transfers

In most destinations, itineraries do NOT include transfers. Transfers are optional services you can add to your itinerary during the booking process with your designated travel agent. We offer shared and private transfers at most destinations. Some cities are serviced by several airports; therefore several transfer options will be offered. Please select the one that fits your flight itinerary.

Fabvaca LLC, does charge for changes and cancelations as per our Terms and Agreements. Many of our suppliers also charge for changes and cancelations as well, and as their agency we must charge you for those supplier fees.

A. Airlines

All airline tickets are non-refundable once ticketed.

In general, airlines allow changes as long as the original air reservation has been cancelled prior to departure and is not an economy level ticket. Some airlines require 24 hours to cancel the original schedule to be able to process a change on their tickets. Some airlines require that you select a new travel date and exchange tickets before the original travel date. Some airlines allow you to use tickets for a future exchange up to one year from the original ticketed date, provided the air reservation is cancelled prior to departure. Some airlines do not allow any changes at all, not even paying a fee. Some tickets are not re-routable.

When changes are permitted, all segments in ticket status must show as OPEN to process an exchange.
Airline change fees apply according to the airline fare rules plus any fare difference that may increase. Change fees vary between airlines. Fare rules may vary within one airline.

Name changes are not allowed. You cannot exchange a ticket from one airline to another. Tripmasters.com does not control the fees set by the airline and have no authority to waive them.

If your trip has already started, you may contact the airline directly to make changes to your reservation. The airline will provide you with instructions on exchanging your original ticket when you confirm your new itinerary.

As a general reference, airlines penalties for changes can range anywhere between US$100 to US$300.00 per ticket or more.

b. Hotels

The closer to your departure date that you change, the more likely that there will be higher penalties. Hotel penalties vary between properties. Each property and each hotel supplier may establish different conditions for changes.

For multiple room reservations, we may use 2 or more suppliers. In those cases, each supplier may apply different change penalties for the same property. Note that, depending on the season, some hotel reservations may not be changeable at all (fairs, conventions, special events, Holidays, New years, Christmas, etc). Changes while traveling are permitted. However, passengers must agree to the new price IN WRITING (by e-mail) before we process any hotel changes. We suggest you open a free online email account to ease our requirement of having your email approval while abroad. We do NOT accept approvals on the phone. Any refunds (and penalties) resulting to the change will not be known to us for at least three business days by the supplier. Therefore, we will not be able to apply any monies towards your changes.

c. Trains

Train changes requested 60 or more days before departure are penalty free.

Train tickets are issued anytime within 60 days of departure. Once issued, any train change is subject to a penalty of $25 per person, plus any difference in fare. Note that some train tickets are not upgradeable even paying a penalty. Once a train ticket has been issued it will be non-refundable.

If change is requested once train tickets are in your possession, you (client) are responsible for mailing back your train ticket(s) to our office. We cannot process the train change until we receive the original ticket. Additional mailing fees will apply.

d. Car Rentals

Changes to car rentals prior to departure may incur a vendor fee. Remember there is a 3-day minimum if you decide to reduce your rental period. This will be advised upon change.

Depending on your travel destination you may be required to pay any difference directly with the car rental company.

e. Sightseeing tours and Transfers

The closer to your departure date that you change, the more likely there will be higher penalties. Changing/Canceling within 10 days may result in non-refundable tours or transfers.

f. Greek Hydrofoils / Ferries

Hydrofoil/ferry tickets are issued in Greece and mailed to the US by our supplier as soon as they become available for your dates. When a change is requested, and tickets are in your possession, you must mail them back to our office. A change can be processed only if: 1. Original ticket is in our office AND 2. There is enough time for our Greek supplier to mail new tickets AND enough time for us to mail the new tickets to you. If previous conditions cannot be fulfilled, then we may refund your original ticket (penalties will apply) and ask you to purchase new tickets on your own once you arrive in Greece. Please note that some hydrofoil/ferry tickets may not be refundable at all, not even charging a fee.

g. Cruises

The closer to your departure date that you change, the more likely there will be higher penalties.
Add Collect

Changes require recalculation of prices. Prices and availability for new dates or new/modified services for the same date may differ from your original package price; especially if you are changing from low to high season dates.

Price increases are calculated on top of any Supplier penalties and Fabvaca LLC revision fees/penalties.

Airline Initiated Schedule Changes (Involuntary)

The airline has the right to adjust/change and cancel flights up to the day of departure. An airline-initiated schedule change is created by the airlines due to reorganization of flights. It may be related to one of the following:

  • Changes to flight departure or arrival times

  • Changes in frequency of flights

  • Addition or discontinuation of routes

  • Changes to type of aircraft.

 

Fabvaca LLC is not responsible for airlines schedule changes and travel disruptions that this may cause such as:

  • Airlines misconnections

  • Missed services.

  • Additional services

  • Additional fare collection

 

Fabvaca LLC will act as an agent between you and the airline in order to assist you in fixing your schedule change. We will do all possible to assist you with the best available option. If the airline is providing a full refund due to a major schedule change; you will be responsible for the purchase of the new ticket with another carrier. Money transfer from one airline to another is not allowed. Airline refunds may take up to 8 weeks. In the event that you have to purchase a new airline ticket the price will be based on the current fare listed by the alternate airline.

Customer Contact Information - Consent Agreement

To address the growing demand for timely notification and improved customer service in the event of any airline disruptions, Fabvaca LLC will comply with the upgraded customer notification systems developed by the airlines. As a customer this provides you several benefits. What this means is that we will provide the airline(s) the customer is flying with the customer’s phone number and email information so that the airline(s) can directly communicate any disruptions or operational changes to affected customers within the approved timeframe.

Because the industry continues to grow there is increasing congestion at airports and in airspace, and other factors such as severe weather conditions, industrial action, or various operational issues can also contribute to the interruption of normal airline operations. These disruptions can result in major impacts to passenger experience and customer service. Customers understand that things sometimes go wrong, but they do expect an efficient and well communicated resolution. Standing in long lines or waiting on hold without sufficient information can contribute unnecessarily to passenger confusion and stress.

In order to mitigate these cases, the airline industry has invested in the aforementioned customer notification systems. These systems help provide timely information to passengers affected by any disruption to their service and alleviates further compounding of the issue.

IATA endorsed changes to Resolution 830d and introduced industry standard SSRs CTCE, CTCM and CTCR in a dedicated and structured format for customer contact information entry in the PNR. Airlines will use the contact information provided to communicate to the customer any operational notifications within the operational window.

***Should you wish to opt out from Fabvaca LLC sharing this information with the airline(s), please let your designated travel agent know at time of booking  as well as sending an email to dfisher@fabvaca.com and we will remove the contact information.
