This Cancellation Policy explains how cancellations work for bookings made through Fareoworld. It applies to all travel services available on the platform, including flights, hotels, car rentals, cruises, and any related travel products.
Fareoworld operates as an independent travel booking platform that connects users with third-party service providers. Cancellation eligibility, charges, and refunds are determined based on the terms set by those providers at the time of booking.
By making a booking on Fareoworld, you agree to the terms outlined in this Cancellation Policy.
1. Understanding How Cancellations Work
When you book a service through Fareoworld, your reservation is fulfilled by a third-party provider, such as an airline, hotel, or rental agency. Each provider has its own cancellation rules.
Fareoworld:
- Facilitates cancellation requests.
- Communicates supplier policies clearly.
- Processes requests based on the booking terms.
However, Fareoworld does not control final decisions related to cancellation approvals or refund amounts.
2. Scope of This Policy
This policy applies to cancellations for:
- Flight tickets (domestic and international).
- Hotel reservations and accommodations.
- Car rental bookings.
- Cruise reservations.
- Vacation packages or bundled bookings.
The same general principles apply across all services, though specific rules may vary depending on the provider.
3. Cancellation Eligibility
Cancellation eligibility depends on the type of booking selected at the time of purchase.
Non-Refundable Bookings
- These bookings cannot be cancelled for a refund.
- The full amount may be charged upon cancellation.
- In some cases, only certain taxes may be refundable.
Partially Refundable Bookings
- Cancellation charges apply.
- A portion of the booking amount may be refunded.
- The refund amount depends on supplier policies.
Flexible or Refundable Bookings
- Cancellation is allowed within a defined timeframe.
- Refunds are processed after deducting applicable charges.
Promotional or Discounted Fares
- These bookings may have stricter cancellation rules.
- Lower prices may come with limited flexibility.
All cancellation conditions are displayed before you complete your booking.
4. Cancellation Timeframes
The timing of your cancellation request affects the charges applied.
General Guidelines:
- Advance cancellations: Lower cancellation fees may apply.
- Closer to service date: Higher penalties may apply.
- Last-minute cancellations: Limited or no refund.
- After start time or no-show: No refund.

5. No-Show Policy
A no-show occurs when a customer does not use the booked service and does not cancel in advance.
Examples include:
- Not checking in for a flight.
- Not arriving at a hotel.
- Not picking up a rental vehicle.
In such cases:
- The booking may be cancelled automatically.
- The full amount may be charged.
- Refunds are generally not provided.
6. Multi-Service and Package Bookings
If your booking includes multiple services, for example, flight + hotel or hotel + car rental:
- Each service is subject to its own cancellation rules.
- Cancelling one part may affect the remaining booking.
- Refunds are calculated separately for each component.
In some cases, bundled discounts may no longer apply after partial cancellation.
7. Partial Cancellations
Partial cancellations (such as removing one traveler or one service component) may be allowed depending on the booking.
Important points:
- Not all bookings support partial cancellation.
- Remaining services may be repriced.
