 Lone Riders Run Special Payment Policy

Special Terms and Conditions The set cost of the tour is the "4 motorcycle" cost as displayed under the heading Tour Cost on the pages detailing the specific tour routes. Tour will not be run if we fail to book 4 motorcycles by the scheduled tour registration cut-off date posted under the Lone Riders Run heading on the pages detailing the specific tour routes Advance booking deposit of 25% is required to secure your spot on the tour. This deposit is non-refundable unless we fail to book 4 or more motorcycles on tour at the 3 month mark prior to the start of the tour, in which case your deposit would be fully refunded minus our wire transfer and currency exchange fees. Should we be successful in booking a minimum of 4 motorcycles at the 3 month mark, your deposit becomes non-refundable and you will be required to make an additional 25% deposit at the 2 month mark prior to the tour start date. We will continue to accept bookings for the tour until we reach 6 motorcycles at which time the tour will become closed to additional bookings. If the booking period on one of the lone riders runs is between the 3 month and 2 month marks and you happen to be lucky enough to find a spot available, you can still secure a spot on tour with a 50% booking deposit that is non-refundable. No additional bookings will be accepted at the 2 month mark prior to the tour start date. The remaining 50% balance is due at the one month mark, same as our policy with all other tours. If we are successful in booking 5 or 6 motorcycles, then we will adjust the tour cost for all bookings to the appropriate rate, based on the total number of motorcycles booked, and the final deposit amount will be adjusted to reflect the decrease in cost. All other payment policies are the same.

 Payment Policy

	All tours are priced in Philippine Pesos (PHP) and this is a fixed price. Currency exchange rates fluctuate on a minute by minute basis, 24 hours a day, same as stock prices, so the amount you pay in your currency will vary slightly but usually never more than 1-2% over a period of 30 days.
	A booking fee of 50% is due 60 days prior to the scheduled start date of your tour. The remaining balance is due 30 days prior to your scheduled start date. Booking fee is non-refundable if you decide to re-schedule or cancel your tour. We use this portion of the payment to make all resort reservations, airline reservations for your round trip flight from Manila to Butuan and sometimes ferry reservations at certain ports where the more luxurious accommodations on the ferries are known to stay booked solid as much as 1 month or more in advance. Some resorts require we make reservations as much as 45 days in advance to secure their luxury rooms. These reservation fees are non-refundable to us if your tour is rescheduled or cancelled. Please make sure you will be able to travel on the dates you plan. Never book a tour unless all tour guests have their passports in hand and round trip airplane reservations to Manila confirmed. These are the 2 primary reasons why tours need rescheduling. The second payment made to us (50% balance) is also non-refundable, once it is deposited into our bank account. Again, please be as confident as possible about your ability to travel on the dates you plan. We use the first half payment to make all reservations and we use a considerable part of the second half payment to pay the remaining balances of these reservations. Considering that we only operate one tour at a time and that we must plan ahead by as much as 45-60 days, if you cancel your tour then we have no ability to fill the slot with another tour group. Additionally, considering that over 80% of the money we receive from you is spent before you arrive, we simply cannot issue any refunds for issues beyond our control.
	All payments are made by international wire transfer into our account in the Philippines. You are responsible for paying all wire transfer fees and currency exchange fees. The amount we receive in our account must equal the fixed PHP tour cost. Please make sure to shop rates from various financial institutions prior to making your transfers. Although international wire transfer fees are generally about the same from one bank to another, currency exchange fees can range from 1% to 5%. Sometimes, a currency broker can be your best option. Make sure you are getting a good rate !!! Please make sure your financial institution understands that your wire transfer needs to equal a specific amount of foreign currency after all fees. Any discrepancy in the total amount of actual funds received into our account and the actual tour cost will be payable in cash upon arrival or refunded if over paid. We require that your wire transfers be made as single transactions for the deposit and final payment for the combined total cost of all motorcycles on tour, instead of individual transfers from each of the tour members. Not only does this make our life much simpler in tracking and registering your payments, it will also save your tour group a considerable amount of money in wire transfer fees and also give you more favorable terms if you choose to use a currency broker. Please explore these suggestions with due diligence. They are sure to save you a considerable amount of money
