BOOKING AFTER THE FINAL PAYMENT DATE For reservations made after the final payment due date, full payment is due upon confirmation (see the Cancellation Fees schedule above). If hotel rooms are not in our allotment no payment will be taken, but a valid credit card must be provided to initiate the request. Hotel confirmations typically take three to five days, but may take up to seven days. If your rooms are confirmed within seven days, your card will automatically be charged for the full trip cost. If you cancel at this point, standard cancellation fees will apply. If Backroads is unable to confirm the requested room(s) within seven days, you may cancel your booking request with no financial commitment. If your request remains pending within the first seven days and you choose to cancel, you will be charged the deposit amount (see the Deposits schedule above). If the confirmed rooms differ from your original request, we will contact you before processing payment. You will not be charged unless we confirm what you need.
