INSURANCE:
It is strongly recommended that clients purchase cancellation insurance to protect themselves against
cancellation due to illness prior to or during travel. In the event a traveller becoming ill during a tour and has
not purchased insurance, all hospital and medical expenses are the traveller's responsibility. Based on Goway
Travel’s current cancellation policies the passenger may incur up to 100% cancellation penalties and should
protect themselves with cancellation insurance.
Insurance MUST be purchased within 7 days of individual client deposits or payments being made
and only covers non-refundable client money held by Goway Travel. If the group cancels prior to final
payment and supplier fees being applicable, due to the required minimum numbers not being reached, the
premium is refundable providing no claim has been made. In all other cases the premium is non-refundable.
Rates: All rates are subject to reconfirmation at the time of the policy being purchased. We will be
happy to quote current rates, however these are not guaranteed until the policy is purchased.
