Refund & Cancellation Policy

Effective date: 1st August 2025

1. Scope

This Refund & Cancellation Policy applies to reservations made through OTG Reservation for:

  • Car rentals (short-term vehicle hire)
  • Hotel room reservations

This policy explains cancellation windows, refund eligibility, processing times, and special conditions.

2. Definitions

  • Booking: A confirmed reservation for a car or hotel created through our website or app.
  • Cancellation: A user-initiated termination of a booking before the service start time (pickup time / hotel check-in time).
  • No-show: Failure to collect the rental vehicle or check in to the reserved hotel without prior cancellation.
  • Processing time: Time taken to return funds to the original payment method after a refund is approved.

3. General Principles

  • Refunds are made to the original payment method unless otherwise agreed in writing.
  • Refunds exclude any non-refundable fees explicitly stated at booking (e.g., third-party supplier non-refundable deposit, certain promotional fares).
  • All times and deadlines use the local time zone of the pickup location or hotel property unless otherwise stated.

4. Car Rental — Cancellation & Refund Rules

Standard policy (customize these windows to match your business rules):

When you cancel Refund

Between 48 and 24 hours before pickup 50% refund of rental charges

Prepaid deposits: If a deposit was collected and the booking is cancelled in an eligible time window, the deposit will be returned according to the refund timings.

Modifications: Date/time modifications are allowed subject to availability. Changing a booking that results in a shorter rental period may incur re-calculation of refund/charges.
