By making a reservation with the Company, the traveler agrees to comply with the terms and conditions outlined in this article.
25.1. Applicability: Applicability: This Policy shall apply to all reservations made after the deployment of the Indie Fleet Flexible Cancellation policy 29th of January 2024 forward. Existing reservations made until the 28th of January 2024 shall continue to be subject to the cancellation and refund conditions set forth by the “Indie Fleet Super Flexible Cancellation Policy”, described in number 25.7
25.2 Indie Fleet Flexible Cancellation Policy conditions:
25.2.1 First Stage: Cancellation more than 30 days before the scheduled pick-up date:
In the event of a cancellation more than 30 days before the scheduled pick-up date, the traveller shall be entitled to a full refund of the total amount paid until that date, calculated based on the existing booking value. During this stage if additional services or days are added by the traveller, full payment for the increased booking value is required immediately. Traveller also understand that the if the traveller already paid partially the booking the traveller will be requested a 2nd payment 30 days before the pick-up date to close the accounts of that booking If the second payment fails, the booking will be automatically cancelled after 3 days of failed attempts. Please note that if the full booking value has not been paid by the time of the second payment failure, the traveller will not be entitled to a refund, and the customer will not be considered as being in the Second Stage
25.2.2 Second Stage: Cancellation between 30 and 8 days before the scheduled pick-up date:
Reservations made with less the 30 days to the pick-up date must be paid 100% in the first payment. If the reservation is cancelled between 30 and 8 days before the scheduled pick-up date, the traveller shall be eligible for a refund of 50% of the total amount paid until that date, calculated based on the existing booking value that includes the value of any services that were added or subcontracted during that period.

For cancellations made between 7 and 1 day before the scheduled pick-up date, a refund of 5% of the total amount paid until that date shall be granted, calculated based on the existing booking value.
25.2.4 Fourth Stage: Same-day cancellation:
In the event of a cancellation on the same day as the scheduled pick-up date, travellers shall not be entitled to receive any refund.
25.3. Payment and Refund Considerations:
The cancellation policy is integrated with the flexible payment options Indie Campers provided to the travellers making a reservation for a road trip. Indie Campers Group cancellation policies are designed to seamlessly integrate with our flexible payment options, ensuring a hassle-free experience for travellers who reserve a road trip with Indie Campers. When creating a reservation associated with the Indie Fleet Flexible Cancellation, travellers have the right to parcel their payments. The initial payment amounts to 50% of the booking value, while the remaining balance can be settled through a second payment, due 30 days prior to the pick-up date. Alternatively, travellers may choose to pay the full amount of the booking at the time of reservation. Please note that for all reservations made under the Indie Fleet Flexible Cancellation, within 30 days of the selected pick-up date, the total reservation value must be paid upon reservation. For reservations made with partial payment, the completion of the second payment is essential to ensure the reservation's validity. Failure to fulfil the second payment will result in automatic cancellation of the reservation, without any entitlement to a refund In the event that additional services are added to the reservation or modifications are made that increase the booking value, the corresponding additional payment must be made immediately upon request. This ensures the effective inclusion of the requested services within the scope of the reservation. Conversely, if additional services are added or modifications are made resulting in a decreased booking value, the refundable amount in the case of cancellation within 30 days and 1 day before the pick-up date will be proportionately adjusted. Whenever the entitled is entitled to a refund, Indie Campers shall process a transfer of the amounts to the travellers account within 5-10 business days.

This step ensures the validity of the reservation.
Cancellation Before 30 Days: Should a traveller decide to cancel their reservation before the 30-day mark, they will be entitled to a refund of the amount paid so far, excluding any process handling fees.
Failure to Complete Second Payment: In the event that the second payment is not made after all attempts, the amount paid upfront shall be forfeited, and no refund will be issued. Consequently, the booking will be cancelled.
Cancellation After Second Payment: If a traveller has made the second payment and subsequently decides to cancel the reservation, the refund amount will be determined based on the terms and conditions of the cancellation policy.
Decreased Booking Value: Should any extras or days be decreased from the booking, resulting in a decreased booking value, the Company will not issue a refund for these changes.
