Car Rental Refund Policy
At Fin Travels , we strive to provide a fair, transparent, and timely refund process for car rental reservations booked through our platform. This Refund Policy explains when refunds may be issued, which charges are non-refundable, and how refund requests are reviewed and processed. By completing a booking, you acknowledge and agree to the terms outlined below.
1. Refund Eligibility
Refunds may be approved under the following circumstances, subject to the rental supplier’s policies and the terms selected at the time of booking:
- Eligible Cancellations: Reservations canceled within the permitted cancellation window may qualify for a full or partial refund.
- Supplier-Initiated Cancellations: If a rental provider cancels a reservation due to vehicle unavailability or operational reasons, the refundable portion of the rental amount will be returned.
- Duplicate or Erroneous Charges: Verified duplicate billings or incorrect charges will be refunded promptly.

Security deposits collected by the rental supplier at vehicle pickup are separate from booking payments. These deposits are typically released after the vehicle is returned in acceptable condition, minus any applicable deductions for damage, fuel, tolls, or violations. Release timing depends on the supplier and your financial institution.
