Cancellation & refund policy
Group travel is booked and paid for well ahead, so refunds depend on how much notice we get. Here is exactly how it works.
Last updated August 2026
01 · How to cancel
Email hello@gaysocialtrips.com from the address on your booking. Your cancellation takes effect on the date we receive it.
02 · Refund tiers
- 90+ days before departure — all payments refunded except the deposit.
- 60–89 days — 50% of payments made refunded, deposit retained.
- 30–59 days — 25% of payments made refunded, deposit retained.
- Under 30 days — no refund; unrecoverable supplier costs are already committed.
03 · Deposits
Deposits are non-refundable. They secure your room with our accommodation partners at the point of booking.
04 · Add-ons
Optional extras are refundable up to 30 days before departure unless the supplier has already committed the booking.
05 · Name changes and transfers
Up to 45 days out you may transfer your place to another eligible traveller, or move to another trip in the same season, for an administration fee plus any supplier difference.
06 · If we cancel
If we cancel a trip for minimum numbers or reasons within our control, you can transfer to another trip or take a full refund of everything paid to us.
07 · Events outside our control
Where a trip cannot proceed due to events beyond our control (natural disaster, civil unrest, border closures), we will refund whatever we can recover from suppliers and offer credit for the rest.
08 · Insurance
Cancelling for personal reasons is what travel insurance is for — see our Booking Conditions. Keep your policy details handy.
09 · Processing
Approved refunds are returned to the original payment method within 10 business days.
