Terms and Conditions
® Welcome to Hanoi Premium Travel - Trustworthy DMC & Best Tour Operator in Vietnam
It is important that you read and understand the following booking conditions before you engage Hanoi Premium Travel Company.
Hanoi Premium Travel accepts bookings subject to the following conditions;
1. Making a Booking
A booking is accepted on the date Hanoi Premium Travel has confirmed acceptance in writing and issued an invoice. It is at this point that a contract between Hanoi Premium Travel and the Client comes into existence. Before your booking is confirmed and a contract comes into force, Hanoi Premium Travel reserves the right to decline any booking at their discretion.
1.1: Minimum Deposit
You are required to pay a minimum deposit of 30% to 50 % of your tour cost. Deposits are payable per person at the time of booking. However, for larger groups, the deposit will be of a higher amount based on suppliers fees, such as hotels, airlines etc. After receiving your payment, we will issue you the hotel voucher and/or final confirmation itinerary, which can be sent to you by fax or e-mail.
* Please notes:
Full payment is required for all flights, train tickets, visa approval letters, airport fast track service and hotel reservations in order to issue pre-paid vouchers for your services.
We reserve the right to increase the 20% to 50% minimum deposit case by case and increase as needed, especially bookings of luxury cruises and hotels...
Does Vietnam have taxes?
The answer is yes. When you make a payment through the company's bank account, an additional 10% VAT will be charged. Please reach out to Hanoi Premium Travel for more detailed information
Bank Surcharge: A processing charge of 3 to 4% will be added to the total amount due when using a Credit Card. Any charges levied by the sending institution related to other methods of payments must be paid by the Client/ Agent and may include the correspondent bank's fees as well.
Based on the timing of each transaction, we will offer available payment options for transactions. We will inform you of the fee details before requesting payment. To stay updated on the latest products and payment policies. Please reach out to Hanoi Premium Travel for more detailed information.
Currency: We accept US dollar as quoted for the tour.
1.2: Final Payment
Final payment of the balance is due 30 days before the departure date of your journey with us. If final payments are not received on time, Hanoi Premium Travel reserves the right to cancel the reservation (no refund will be made) and invoke the cancellation fee. Hanoi Premium Travel will not be responsible for lost reservations. If we receive your booking less than 30 days prior to the tour departure date, it must be paid in full at time of booking. It is your responsibility to ensure that all payment deadlines are met.
Hanoi Premium Travel might not send out any reminders. Full payment deadlines are set to protect your booking as airlines and cruise operators are within their rights to raise prices and in some instances cancel bookings. You will be responsible for and accept all risks of late payment, bank confusion, credit / debit card details or insufficient account balance and you will not be entitled to receive any refund of part of prepayment (non-refundable) due to late payment or bank confusion.
1.3: Refund
No refund will be made for unused travel services or any portion thereof, nor is the price or value of unused travel services exchangeable for alternative arrangements. All air tickets are non-refundable, valid only for the flight and/or dates purchased and cannot be exchanged or transferred.
1.4: Cancellation
Once your booking has been confirmed, Hanoi Premium Travel will only accept cancellations in writing. In the event of cancellation, the following charges will apply:
- Cancellations received between 60 days - 30 days prior to departure – Loss of deposit
- Cancellations received between 29 days - 15 days prior to departure – 50% of the tour price.
- Cancellations received less than 14 days prior to departure – 100% of total tour price
- No show/no written notice 100% of full fare
Note: These cancellation fees apply to tour services only. Different cancellation charges will apply to airline tickets, train tickets, visa approval letters, airport-fast track services and hotel reservations... Depending on the reason for your cancellation, some of these cancellation charges may be recoverable under your travel insurance policy. No refunds will be made should you choose to leave your tour early or choose not to utilize any of the included services.
*** Nonrefundable deposit and banking service fee will be forfeited in all cancellation cases.
Cancellation fees and charges will include any amounts that we have paid or have contractually committed to pay to third parties to deliver your travel arrangements which we cannot reasonably recover (for example payments made or due to airlines and hotels). Any payments we have made to third parties will only be refunded to you once we have deducted the above cancellation fees and charges and once we have actually recovered the amounts from the third parties.
Hanoi Premium Travel assumes no responsibility for costs or fees you incur for independent arrangements not booked through Hanoi Premium Travel, inclusive of, but not limited to, airline, hotel and touring charges.
1.5: Flight Changes, Rescheduled Flight, Early Return, Illness or Absence, No-show

You are responsible for and must pay for all costs and expenses incurred by you as a result of any change made by you to your itinerary after your tour departure date. This includes changes due to illness or other personal reasons
Hanoi Premium Travel is not responsible for any costs of any other travel arrangements affected by the cancellation or about the flight postponements and flight time changes or the rescheduling of its tour departures and arrivals.
Early return expenses are the client’s responsibility. There is no refund for absence or early departure from a trip, including but not limited to missed hotels, transfers, meals or tours, sightseeing and cruises or optional extensions. Hanoi Premium Travel urges you to purchase travel insurance which covers such circumstances. Hanoi Premium Travel makes no representation or guarantees concerning reimbursement, scope of coverage, or other aspects of any travel insurance policy or claim
If the reason for your cancellation is covered under your insurance, you may be able to reclaim these charges from your insurer. You are responsible to make the claim to your insurer.
2. Itineraries
Your tour itinerary will be followed as closely as possible but in some cases may be affected by adverse weather or road conditions; in such cases alternative destinations and activities of a similar nature will be offered. Changes made by operators of attractions and activities we visit are outside of our control but we will endeavor to minimize such occurrences by close liaison with the operators.
If we make an insignificant change to your Package Holiday, we will make reasonable efforts to inform you or your travel agent as soon as reasonably possible if there is time before your departure, but we will have no liability to you. Examples of insignificant changes include alteration of your outward/return flights by less than 12 hours, changes to aircraft type, change of accommodation to another of the same or higher standard, changes of carriers. Please note that carriers such as airlines may be subject to change.
Occasionally we may have to make a significant change to your confirmed arrangements. Examples of “significant changes” include the following, when made before departure:
- A change of accommodation area for the whole or a significant part of your time away.
- A change of accommodation to that of a lower standard or classification for the whole or a significant part of your time away.
- A change of outward departure time or overall length of your arrangements by more than 12 hours.
- A significant change to your tour itinerary, missing out one or more destination entirely.
If we have to make a significant change, we will tell you as soon as possible and if there is time to do so before departure, we will offer you the choice of:
- accepting an offer of alternative travel arrangements of a comparable or higher standard from us, if available (at no extra cost); or
- if available, accepting an offer of alternative arrangements of a lower standard, with a refund of the price difference between the original arrangements and the alternative arrangements.
You must notify us of your choice within 2 days of our offer. If we do not hear from you within 2 days, we will contact you again to request notification of your choice. If you fail to respond again, we will assume that you have chosen to accept the change or alternative booking arrangements

This is necessary to assure the health and safety of all group members and in particular those with whom you may be sharing a room.
