IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Where’s your next adventure? Reserve your trip anytime at backroads.com or call 877-GO-ACTIVE (462-2848) to speak with one of our Trip Consultants.
TRIP PRICE Prices are per person based on double occupancy (two people per room) and quoted in US dollars. Prices are valid at time of publishing and are subject to change at any time. Please see the web for date-specific prices or call us. Trip prices include accommodations, most meals, bikes, baggage transfers, porterage, all ground and air transportation during your trip, and port fees on active cruises. Airfare and other forms of travel to/from the trip start/end are your responsibility. Additional local taxes may apply in select destinations. Optional single occupancy and room upgrades incur a supplemental fee. Please see the trip web page for more specifics on all items included in the trip price. BOOK EARLY—as soon as you reserve your Backroads Trip, your price is guaranteed. ADDITIONAL ACCOMMODATIONS If you book after the final payment due date and Backroads must request additional rooms from our hotels or ships, you will be charged your trip deposit (and final payment for Special Departures and Active Cruises) before you are confirmed on the trip. If we are unable to confirm your room(s) within 7 business days, you are eligible to receive a full refund on your deposit. If we are able to secure your room(s) at the hotel or ship on request, we will charge your remaining balance on the day following confirmation using the same payment method as your deposit. If you decide to cancel before or after the rooms have been confirmed, cancellation fees will apply. TRAVELING SOLO Backroads prices are based on double occupancy. If you are traveling solo and prefer to share a room, we will do our best to find you a roommate of the same gender. If we are not able to pair you with a roommate, you will be responsible for the single occupancy charge. The earlier you book, the more likely we can find you a roommate. TRAVEL PROTECTION PLAN We strongly encourage you to consider the Arch RoamRight Travel Protection Plan, or any other travel protection plan you prefer, to help protect against financial loss due to cancellation fees. Visit backroads.com/travel-insurance for a detailed plan summary and more information. TRIP FORMS & RELEASE OF LIABILITY Guests are required to complete and sign our Release, Assumption of All Risks, and Binding Arbitration Agreement and Personal Information Form. For your convenience, signable copies are made available in your Backroads Account. Signatures are required after booking and all forms must be completed prior to final payment. We’re unable to allow guests to participate in any aspect of a Backroads trip without a signed release form. GUEST TRANSFER & CANCELLATION POLICY Exceptions to our cancellation policy cannot be made for any reason, including but not limited to weather, terrorism, civil unrest, pandemics, personal, family or medical emergencies. There is no refund for arriving late or leaving a trip early. Private rooms and staterooms are considered part of the total trip price and are subject to cancellation fees. Percentage cancellation fees are calculated on your total trip price. We reserve the right to cancel departures in cases of force majeure, weather or the failure of third parties—such as hotels or ships—to honor their reservations. In these cases, you will be refunded your trip price. Backroads is not responsible for expenses incurred in preparation for any canceled or postponed trips, such as airline tickets, or for costs that are incurred due to travel delays, flight cancellations or illness.
BOOK WITH CONFIDENCE Your deposit is FULLY REFUNDABLE † for 14 days on Scheduled Trips & for 21 days on Private Trips Your deposit is FULLY TRANSFERABLE † on Scheduled Trips
YOUR TRIP WILL RUN ¤ at any group size
If your trip only has one party at the time of final payment, for most departures we’ll call you to ask if you’d prefer to travel with more guests. Most Backroads guests prefer a robust group of travelers; if you choose to transfer to a fuller trip, you’ll receive a $300 credit, per guest. If instead you prefer to travel with a very small group, an additional $800 per guest guarantees your trip will run. If just one more party signs up, we’ll refund your $800. † see web for details ¤ Applies to Scheduled Trips only. Does not apply to Private Trips, Cruises or Special Departures (Africa Safaris; Vietnam & Cambodia Walking & Hiking; Peru Trekking and possibly others as noted on our website); Asia; Latin America; Middle East; Dalmatian Coast; Martha’s Vineyard & Nantucket; Morocco; New Zealand; Amalfi Coast Premiere; Iceland Northern Lights; Yellowstone & Tetons Snow Adventure and trips with Internal Air.
