Introduction

This Refund Policy outlines the terms and conditions for cancellations, refunds, and modifications of bookings made through the Travada platform. By using our Services to make a booking, you agree to the terms of this Refund Policy.

We understand that plans can change, and we strive to provide a fair and transparent refund process. However, please note that as an intermediary between passengers and Bus Operators, our refund policies are often subject to the policies of the individual Bus Operators.

This Refund Policy should be read in conjunction with our Terms of Service.

02

How to Cancel a Booking

To cancel a booking, you can:

  1. Log in to your Travada account and navigate to "My Trips"
  2. Select the booking you wish to cancel
  3. Click on the "Cancel Booking" button
  4. Follow the prompts to complete the cancellation process

Alternatively, you can contact our customer support team for assistance with cancellations.

03

Refund Eligibility

Refunds are generally available for cancellations made within the timeframes specified above. However, certain bookings may be non-refundable, including:

  • Special promotional fares marked as "Non-refundable"
  • Bookings made with reward points or promotional vouchers
  • No-shows (failure to board the bus without prior cancellation)

Partial Journey Completion

If you have completed part of your journey, you will not be eligible for a refund for the unused portion of your ticket unless the Bus Operator's policy specifically allows for it.

Force Majeure

In cases of force majeure (such as natural disasters, civil unrest, or government actions), refund eligibility will be determined on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the specific circumstances and the Bus Operator's policies.

04

Refund Process

Once a cancellation is approved, the refund process will be initiated as follows:

  1. You will receive a confirmation email acknowledging your cancellation request
  2. Our team will process the refund according to the applicable refund percentage
  3. The refund will be issued to the original payment method used for the booking
  4. You will receive a confirmation email once the refund has been processed

Refund Timeline

Refunds are typically processed within 3-5 business days from the date of cancellation approval. However, the actual time it takes for the refund to appear in your account depends on your payment provider and may take up to 14 business days.

05

Service Fees

Travada charges a service fee for each booking made through our platform. This service fee covers the cost of providing our booking platform, customer support, and related services.

As indicated in the cancellation timeframes table, service fees are generally non-refundable, regardless of when you cancel your booking.

In exceptional circumstances, such as service disruptions caused by Travada, we may refund the service fee at our discretion.

06

Refunds by Payment Method

Refunds will be processed to the original payment method used for the booking. The specific refund process varies by payment method:

MTN Mobile Money

Refunds to MTN Mobile Money accounts are typically processed within 3-5 business days. The refund will be sent to the same mobile number used for the original payment.

Orange Money

Refunds to Orange Money accounts are typically processed within 3-5 business days. The refund will be sent to the same mobile number used for the original payment.

Other Payment Methods

For other payment methods, refunds will follow the standard processing times and procedures of the respective payment provider.

07

Bus Operator Policies

Each Bus Operator on the Travada platform may have their own specific refund and cancellation policies. These policies will be displayed at the time of booking and will take precedence over Travada's general refund policy.

Bus Operator policies may differ in terms of:

  • Cancellation timeframes
  • Refund percentages
  • Eligibility for partial refunds
  • Special conditions for certain routes or services

We recommend reviewing the specific Bus Operator's policy before making a booking.

08

Special Circumstances

Service Disruptions

In case of service disruptions caused by the Bus Operator (such as cancellations, significant delays, or route changes), you may be entitled to a full refund, regardless of the standard cancellation policy. Such cases will be handled according to the Bus Operator's policy for service disruptions.

Technical Issues

If you experience technical issues with the Travada platform that prevent you from using your booking as intended, please contact our customer support team immediately. We will work to resolve the issue and, if necessary, process a refund as appropriate.

Duplicate Bookings

If you accidentally make a duplicate booking for the same journey, please contact our customer support team as soon as possible. We will assist you in canceling the duplicate booking and processing a refund according to our standard cancellation policy.

09

Booking Modifications

Instead of canceling a booking, you may have the option to modify certain aspects of your booking, such as:

  • Changing the travel date
  • Changing the travel time
  • Changing the passenger name

Modification options and fees vary by Bus Operator and will be displayed when you attempt to modify your booking. To modify a booking:

  1. Log in to your Travada account and navigate to "My Trips"
  2. Select the booking you wish to modify
  3. Click on the "Modify Booking" button
  4. Follow the prompts to make the desired changes

Please note that modifications are subject to availability and may incur additional fees or fare differences.
