Cancellation Policy

Flexible policies designed with your peace of mind

At BetterChinaTrip, we understand that travel plans can change. Our cancellation policy is designed to be fair and transparent, while also reflecting the commitments we make on your behalf to hotels, guides, and service providers.

Cancellation Timeline

30+ Days Before Departure

Full refund minus any non-refundable deposits (e.g., special event tickets, peak-season hotel deposits). Administrative fee of $50 USD may apply.

15–29 Days Before Departure

70% refund of the total tour cost. Non-refundable items (flights, special bookings) will be deducted.

7–14 Days Before Departure

50% refund of the total tour cost. By this time, many arrangements have been confirmed and deposits paid.

Less Than 7 Days Before Departure

No refund available. However, we may be able to reschedule your trip (subject to availability and any price differences).

Special Circumstances

Force Majeure Events

In cases of force majeure (natural disasters, pandemics, government travel restrictions, etc.), we will work with you to:

  • Reschedule your trip to a future date at no additional planning fee
  • Provide a travel credit valid for 24 months
  • Refund any recoverable costs from our suppliers

Modifications to Your Booking

Date Changes: If you need to change your travel dates, we'll do our best to accommodate your request. Changes made more than 30 days before departure are usually free of charge (subject to availability). Changes within 30 days may incur fees based on supplier policies.

Itinerary Adjustments: Minor itinerary adjustments can often be made during your trip at no extra cost. Significant changes may require rebooking and could affect pricing.

Traveler Substitution: If a traveler in your group needs to be replaced, we can usually transfer the booking to another person for a small administrative fee, provided the change is made at least 14 days before departure.

Travel Insurance Recommendation

We strongly recommend purchasing comprehensive travel insurance that includes trip cancellation/interruption coverage, medical coverage, and emergency evacuation. This protects your investment and provides peace of mind.

Travel insurance should be purchased at the time of booking to ensure coverage for pre-existing conditions and early cancellation scenarios. We can recommend reputable travel insurance providers upon request.
