Cancellation Policy

The PalanQuin — Palanquin Ecotales Private LimitedLast updated: April 2026

Our Approach to Cancellations

We understand that travel plans change. Our cancellation policy is designed to be fair — protecting your ability to cancel with a reasonable notice period, while also acknowledging the costs our team and drivers incur when trips are cancelled at short notice.

If you need to cancel or modify a booking, please contact us as early as possible — the sooner you tell us, the better we can accommodate you.

To cancel or modify a booking: WhatsApp +91 600 37 47 123 or email info@thepalanquin.co.in. A real member of our team will confirm your cancellation — we do not use automated systems.

4. Monthly Retainer & Corporate ETS

Monthly retainer contracts may be cancelled with a minimum of 30 days written notice. No cancellation charge applies if notice is given within this period. Early termination within the 30-day notice period will result in a charge equivalent to one month's retainer fee.

6. Force Majeure

In the event of cancellation due to circumstances beyond either party's control — natural disasters, government orders, road closures, extreme weather events, or other force majeure events — we will work with you to reschedule or issue a credit for the amount paid. Refund decisions in force majeure situations are made on a case-by-case basis with fairness to both parties.

7. Modifications to Bookings

Modifications to confirmed bookings (change of date, vehicle, route, or time) are subject to availability and the rate applicable at the time of modification. Modifications are not treated as cancellations provided the booking remains active.

8. Refund Processing

Refunds where applicable are processed within 5 to 7 working days to the original payment method. For cash transactions, refunds are made via bank transfer or UPI to the account specified by the guest.

9. How to Cancel

To cancel a booking, please contact us in one of the following ways. A real member of our team will confirm your cancellation in writing:

Please quote your booking reference or the name and date of your booking when contacting us. Cancellations are effective from the time we confirm receipt — not from the time of your message.
