Niet altijd. We moeten eerst de beschikbaarheid bij de leverancier bevestigen. Zodra dat geregeld is, ontvang je een boekingsbevestiging van KILROY.
De meeste boekingen worden binnen enkele werkdagen bevestigd. Sommige activiteiten kunnen langer duren, afhankelijk van de leverancier en vertrekdatum.
Als de gevraagde vertrekdatum niet beschikbaar is, helpen we je met het vinden van een alternatieve datum, een vergelijkbare ervaring of we zorgen voor een terugbetaling.
Een reisspecialist van je lokale KILROY-kantoor is jouw contactpersoon en helpt je met de boeking indien nodig.

Voor elke boeking betaal je € 2 bijdrage aan het Calamiteitenfonds en € 5 aan het RGF (Reisgarantiefonds).
