General Travel Information and Policies
Travel and Health Documents
Traveling with Minors
We cannot accept unaccompanied minors under the age of 18 for any travel. Certain countries may require specific documentation for children younger than 18 years old when the child is traveling with one parent, or in someone else's custody. It is your responsibility to ensure you meet the requirements for entry into the country when traveling with minors. Individuals who do not have proper documents may be prevented from traveling and will forfeit 100% of the total price.
Traveling with Special Needs and Disabilities
Denial of Entry
Certain countries may deny entry to travelers with criminal records, and if not a United States citizen, entry back into the United States. We recommend you check with the U.S. Embassy and the embassy or consulate of the country being visited to ensure you can travel a planned. NextTrip does not accept responsibility if you are denied entry. Individuals who are denied entry will forfeit 100% of the total price.
Currency and Bank Fees
Travel Insurance
We encourage all travelers to purchase travel insurance. The cost for travel insurance will be provided at the time of booking. You will be required to select or decline coverage at the time of booking. Payments for Travel Insurance are non-refundable and non-transferrable.
Refunds
Refunds are subject to approval and will be issued within 30 days of request receipt and approval. Refunds will be issued to the original form of payment or by bank check at the discretion of NextTrip.
Travel Credits
Standard change fees apply to new bookings made with travel credit. Travel credits are valid for travel commencing within 365 days from the original departure date, must be used for travel commencing by the expiration date, and are non-refundable and non-transferrable. Travel credits do not have any cash value, and are issued in the legal names of the passengers on the original reservation. Bookings made with travel credits are subject to these terms and conditions, and all applicable fees still apply. Travel credits may not be reinstated once they have expired.
Credit Card Transactions and Chargebacks
If for any reason, any travel service provider is unable to provide the services for which you have contracted, your remedy lies against the provider, and not against NextTrip Holdings, Inc. In the event that payment has been made to NextTrip by credit card, you agree that you will not seek to charge back your payment to NextTrip. If NextTrip incurs any cost, including but not limited to attorney fees, collection fees, etc. to recover any payments charged back by your credit card company, you agree that you will be liable for these costs. If the credit card is declined, you guarantee that you will settle any amounts owed to NextTrip via wire transfer, money order, or cash immediately.
Merchant of Record and Supplier Payments
NextTrip may split the merchant of record payment between NextTrip and the air carrier booked. The NextTrip portion of the payment will be processed immediately while the airline typically processes the payment at the time the tickets are issued. NextTrip may book hotels under a "prepaid/merchant" model, where NextTrip collects the full amount of the hotel room from you in advance and manages the payment to the hotel. In this model, NextTrip makes the booking on the customer's behalf and pays the hotel for the services. The amount of your booking includes tax recovery charges and fees. Included in these fees are estimated sales tax, use tax, occupancy tax, room tax, excise tax, value added tax, good and services tax, and/or other similar taxes. The amount NextTrip pays to the hotel in connection with your booking may vary from the amount that we estimated and charged you. The amount charged to you includes a fee for our services related to your booking. NextTrip is not the supplier collecting and remitting taxes to the tax authority(s). Hotel suppliers include all applicable taxes in the amount billed to NextTrip and NextTrip pays over such amounts directly to the supplier.
Airfare purchased through NextTrip
NextTrip sells airfare tickets on behalf of airlines and other travel suppliers. We advise our customers to be aware of the following information and policies:
Contract of Carriage
Passengers who booked air transportation through NextTrip are subject to the contract of carriage with the airline operating the flight. Passengers are encouraged to review the contract of carriage to understand their responsibilities and rights, which may vary from airline to airline. By booking, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of carriage issued by the airline, which can be found on the airline's website or contacting the airline's customer service department. Furthermore, you agree to make payment of all amounts when due and in compliance with the airline's rules and restrictions regarding the availability and use of fares, products, and services. Airfare is only guaranteed once the purchase has been completed and the ticket(s) have been issued. Airlines may change their prices without notice. If full payment is not received by the ticketing date and time required by the airline, we reserve the right to cancel your booking.

Hotel Bookings
Pre-paid Hotel Rates (NextTrip Value Rates)
NextTrip and our suppliers pre-negotiate certain room rates. These rates can be identified on our website(s) as NextTrip Value Rates. When you book these rates, you authorize NextTrip to book reservations for the full amount displayed, which includes the room rate plus any applicable taxes and fees. Your credit card will be charged by NextTrip for the total reservation price in United States Dollars, regardless of the location of the hotel.
NextTrip Value Rates include service charges charged by NextTrip for the facilitation of the booking. The service charge amount will vary depending on the hotel location, travel dates, hotel type, room type, and length of stay. NextTrip does not disclose the actual service charge but rather includes it in the rate presented on the website. When you book a NextTrip Value Rate, the supplier will invoice NextTrip for the negotiated price of the room, and NextTrip will retain any difference between the amount you pay and the amount paid to the supplier.
NextTrip Value Rates are non-refundable rates, and in most cases the reservation may not be modified without forfeiture of the full amount paid to NextTrip. Cancellation and change fees are identified in the rules and restrictions for your reservation. If you fail to cancel your reservation before the cancellation policy period, you will be subject to the cancellation penalty indicated. If you fail to show (No-Show) on the first night of your reservation, you must contact NextTrip if you intend to utilize any portion of your reservation. If you fail to notify NextTrip, the remaining nights of your reservation are subject to cancellation and forfeiture of any remaining nights, and no refund will be provided.
You may be asked to present a credit card or provide a cash deposit at check-in to cover additional expenses incurred during your stay. Such deposit is not related to your NextTrip booking nor is it related to any payment received by NextTrip for your hotel booking.
Prepaid rates typically do not accrue hotel loyalty points. Please consult your loyalty program's terms and conditions to determine if your pre-paid rate is eligible for loyalty points.
Pay at hotel rates
With certain hotels and rate plans, you will have the option to pay for your hotel stay at check-in. NextTrip will provide the hotel your credit card information to guarantee the reservation. The hotel will charge your credit card in the local currency at the time of your stay. Tax rates and foreign exchange rates may change in the time between your booking and the dates of your stay.
