YOUR WORKING HOLIDAY PAYMENTS

​

All payments must be made in Sterling. Once you have made your initial booking / deposit payment your working holiday is booked. You will receive a confirmation email reconfirming the booking usually within 48 hours. If you have selected to pay £1 deposit please be aware a further £49 is due to be paid 7 days later. Rep Route will attempt to process this payment 3 times. Should the payment fail to be provided the booking may be cancelled at the discretion of Rep Route. A reinstatement fee of £39 shall be applied in order to reactivate the booking. In this scenario a cancellation fee of £39 shall need to be paid by the customer. The remaining balance (accommodation fee) must be paid at least 2 months before travelling, unless your booking is made within 2 months of your planned departure date. If this is the case, Rep Route will arrange the dates of payment to suit the client and Rep Route. We are happy to accept late bookings where possible and available. All payments are processed automatically through Stripe subscription. By placing your first payment and confirming your booking you consent to payments being processed in this method by Rep Route. 

​

The accommodation fee is to be paid in instalments. Once your booking is confirmed with Rep Route instalment payments will begin to be taken the following month. These payments will be made on the 1st of every month (unless alternative methods or month dates are requested). Alternatively the full accommodation fee needs to be paid at least 2 months before your booked arrival date. If however your leaving within 2 months of your chosen departure date the fee will need to be paid in full, unless otherwise arranged with our rep team. If you have any queries please don’t hesitate to contact us. If your accommodation fee is not received by the agreed date, Rep Route has the right to cancel your space and the contract without notice to yourself and without any refund. However we do allow late payments as long as arrangements have been made with the working abroad rep team.

​

Instalment payments must be made within 3 days of the agreed upon date (usually the 1st of each month). Failure to do so or to inform Rep Route of delays may result in the application of a £39 Late Payment Charge or your reservation being cancelled without notice nor refund.
