Booking Terms

Payment & Cancellation Policy

Last Updated: 07/07/2026

At Happy Morocco Travel, we want every traveler to feel confident from the first message to the last sunset over the Sahara. This page explains how payments work, what happens if plans change, and how refunds are handled. By booking a tour with us, you agree to the terms below.

1. Payment Terms

Deposit

A deposit is required to confirm any tour, transfer, or travel service. The exact amount depends on tour length, season, and the suppliers involved (hotels, desert camps, riads, drivers, guides). Your booking is only confirmed once we receive the deposit and send you a written confirmation.

Balance Payment

The remaining balance must be settled before arrival or, at the latest, on the first day of your tour. If the balance is not paid by then, we reserve the right to cancel the booking automatically and the deposit will not be refunded.

Accepted Payment Methods

  • Bank transfer (SWIFT/IBAN)
  • PayPal
  • Remitly (preferred)
  • Cash on arrival in EUR, USD, GBP or MAD (balance only)

All bank charges, transfer fees, and currency-conversion costs are the responsibility of the client.

2. Pricing & Currency

All prices are quoted in EUR (€) unless otherwise specified. Quotes reflect availability and supplier rates at the time of inquiry and may change until the booking is confirmed in writing. Once confirmed, the agreed price is locked in — no surprise increases.

3. Cancellation by the Client

Plans change. If you need to cancel, the following schedule applies based on how far in advance we receive your written cancellation:

  • More than 30 days before tour start: partial refund of the deposit, minus any non-recoverable supplier payments already made on your behalf.
  • 15 – 30 days before tour start: deposit is forfeited. Any payments beyond the deposit are refunded, minus non-recoverable supplier costs.
  • Less than 15 days before tour start: full tour cost is charged. No refund.
  • No-show: no refund.

Pre-paid accommodations, desert camps, domestic flights, train tickets, private transport, and booked activities are deducted from any refund, as these are paid to third-party suppliers and are usually non-recoverable.

4. Refund Processing

Approved refunds are processed using the original payment method whenever possible. Processing time is approximately 14 business days from the date of approval. Bank, PayPal, or platform fees from the original payment are not reimbursed.

5. Changes & Modifications

After confirmation, you may request changes to dates, group size, hotels, or activities. We will do our best to accommodate them, subject to supplier availability.

  • Low and mid season: changes are usually easy and free or low cost.
  • High season (Easter, July–August, Christmas, New Year): changes are often restricted by hotel and camp policies and cannot be guaranteed. Additional fees may apply.

6. Cancellation by Happy Morocco Travel

In rare cases — force majeure, road closures, political unrest, severe weather, health emergencies, or operational issues beyond our control — we may need to cancel or modify a tour. When this happens we will:

  • Offer the closest possible alternative (rerouting, new dates, equivalent services), or
  • Refund the value of any services not delivered.

Happy Morocco Travel is not liable for additional expenses such as international flights, visas, or lost earnings caused by such events.

7. Travel Insurance

Travel insurance is not included in our tour prices. We strongly recommend that every traveler purchase comprehensive coverage that includes trip cancellation, medical emergencies, evacuation, and loss of personal belongings before departing for Morocco.

8. No-Show Policy

If a client fails to appear at the agreed pickup point on the tour start day without prior notice, the booking is treated as a no-show and no refund will be issued.

9. Complaints

If something goes wrong during your tour, please tell your guide, driver, or our office immediately so we can fix it on the spot. Complaints submitted after the tour ends should be sent in writing within 14 days of your return so we can investigate properly.
