COVID19 Cancellation / Refund Policy:

Covid19 has created uncertainty for us all, therefore for cancellations directly related to Covid19, we have negotiated special terms which would override ‘normal cancellation’ terms as outlined above;

If the New Zealand Government imposes travel restrictions that would impact the ability to deliver the travel package prior to commencing travel, passengers will receive full credit, less any applicable cancellation fees.  If travel restrictions are imposed while on tour, we will seek credits on any unused portions of the itinerary from all suppliers.  Any applicable credits will first be applied to any additional costs that Unique Holiday Tours may have incurred on the passenger’s behalf e.g. if alternative accommodation or transportation to repatriate back to the home city or nearest airport etc is required. 

If a passenger has been tested positive for Covid19 directly prior to travel or while on holiday with Unique Holiday Tours, with supporting documentation provided  (a positive Covid19 test), Unique Holiday Tours will seek credits on any unused portions of the itinerary from all suppliers.  Any applicable credits will first be applied to any additional costs that Unique Holiday Tours may have incurred on the passenger’s behalf e.g. if alternative accommodation or transportation to repatriate the passenger to home cities or the nearest airport etc is required.  Any remaining refunds will be credited to the passenger.
