We are working on accepting online payments with the following cards: Visa, Visa Electron, MasterCard, Maestro, JCB, Discover, UnionPay, Diners, and American Express cards. Please note that there is a 3% processing fee for payments made with Diners, Discover and American Express as these providers charge high fees.

Please note that bank transfers are not possible for bookings made less than 15 days before the travel date.
Payment at the time of booking:  Alpha Travel & Marketing SEE requires a deposit or the total amount at the time of booking, depending on when the booking is made and what type of travel package is booked:

Packages booked more than 30 days prior to arrival: Alpha Travel & Marketing SEE requires a non-refundable deposit of 20% of the total amount at the time of booking. Note: For packages that include a cruise, train, flight, or accommodation in ice/snow/igloo hotels, Alpha Travel & Marketing SEE charges a non-refundable deposit of 50% of the total price at the time of booking. For guided small group tours in Iceland, Alpha Travel & Marketing SEE requires a 30% deposit.

Packages booked 30 days or less prior to arrival: Alpha Travel & Marketing SEE requires full payment at the time of booking for purchases made within 30 days of travel. Please note that for bookings made less than 30 days prior to travel, the availability of all services must be confirmed by Alpha Travel & Marketing SEE and the suppliers before the entire package can be confirmed. In the rare event that a particular excursion or service is not available, you will be offered an alternative or a full refund. You will be notified of any necessary changes to the itinerary before a confirmation invoice is issued.

Special Offer Packages: For certain special offers, such as an "Early Bird" discount, you may be required to pay the full amount at the time of booking to qualify for the discount (terms vary by offer). Unless otherwise stated, normal payment terms apply to all special offers.

Individual Bookings: For packages customized by a travel consultant, you may choose to pay a deposit (20%, 30%, or 50% of the total price, depending on the services included) or full payment (100%) at the time of booking. However, if the individual booking is made less than 30 days before your arrival, full payment is the only option.

Remaining payments after deposit: Full payment (less deposit) for packages - both group and individual - is due no later than 4 weeks prior to your arrival, or upon confirmation of the booking if the original booking was made within 4 weeks of departure. Some packages require full payment at an earlier date, but in these cases, the information will be provided online in the package details.
Note: Strict payment terms apply to some of our holiday packages. In these cases, the relevant information can be found online in the package details.

Payment Processing: Once we receive a payment, we will email you an invoice for the amount paid. All other payments are processed through a secure login page on our website. If this applies to your booking, you will receive an activation email with login details. Please note that on the secure payment login page, you have the option to split the payment between multiple credit cards.

Late payments: Alpha Travel & Marketing SEE reserves the right to treat cases of late payment as a cancellation of the booking and the company may withdraw its confirmation of the services. Please note that this only applies if payment has not been made at least 2 weeks prior to your arrival and no arrangement has been made for payment of the balance.

​

​

VALIDITY OF PRICES
All prices quoted or shown in our rates are based on current prices and are subject to change without notice on our website.

In the rare event that published prices need to be increased for the reasons stated above, Alpha Travel & Marketing SEE will give you at least eight weeks' notice if your booking price is affected. In this event, Alpha Travel SEE will pay an amount equal to 5% of the remaining package price, less any deposit paid. Amounts in excess of 5% will be charged but if the surcharge exceeds 10% you have the right to cancel your booking with a full refund.
Please also note that we reserve the right to cancel, amend or restrict any order placed at the incorrect price if an incorrect price has been inadvertently quoted on our website.

CHANGES TO BOOKINGS
All booking change requests must be made by email by the person who submitted the original booking request.
Depending on how far in advance a travel package was booked and when a booking change is requested, an administration fee of 20 euros for each day/night of the changed itinerary may be charged to the credit card used for the original payment.
The administration fee may be waived if the changes are requested within 30 days of the booking date. However, depending on the changes requested, additional costs may be incurred by the supplier.
For bookings made within 60 days of arrival, changes may be made without incurring the administration fee until services have been confirmed and travel documents issued. However, bookings made 30 days or less prior to arrival may be subject to the administration fee and any applicable supplier fees due to the short processing time.

Transfers: A booking may be transferred from one party to another provided the new party complies with the terms of the booking. An administration fee of €20 will be charged for the transfer. Both parties are jointly liable for this fee and any other costs that may arise from changes to the booking.

All travel documents are sent to customers electronically as PDF documents attached to an email. When you arrive in Serbia or Hungary, you can also pick up the travel documents in paper form upon arrival, either from the airport transfer driver or at the hotel, upon request.

You can also have the documents sent to you by post. There is a small additional charge for this service. According to postal regulations, documents must be sent to the credit card holder's billing address and not to the address(es) of the passenger(s), unless they are one and the same person. Please note that Alpha Travel & Marketing SEE cannot accept responsibility for documents that are misplaced or lost in the mail. We, therefore, recommend that you send all documents by Registered Post or Courier Service to your home address, even if this involves additional costs.

LIABILITY
Alpha Travel & Marketing SEE assumes no responsibility for any loss, damage, accident, injury, illness, or change in schedule due to weather, strikes, natural disasters, or any other cause beyond the control of Alpha Travel & Marketing SEE.  Alpha Travel & Marketing SEE acts in good faith and cannot be held responsible for any acts, omissions, or delays of agents, hotels, bus companies, airlines, tour guides, restaurants, or any other person or entity.

Alpha Travel & Marketing SEE reserves the right to change routes, itineraries, or departure times without prior notice should the need arise.

If for any reason you are dissatisfied with your travel package, we want to know immediately. We encourage you to call our office as soon as an incident occurs during your holiday. (You will also have access to an emergency hotline while you are on your Alpha Travel & Marketing SEE tour). If you are unable to do so, you must notify Alpha Travel & Marketing SEE in writing (info@alphatravelsee.com) within 30 days of your return, or you may jeopardize your right to compensation.
