Can I cancel a charter and get my money back?

The answer depends on the circumstances, booking terms and applicable consumer rights.

Before booking, ask what happens if you cancel, change dates or reduce guest numbers. Clarify notice requirements and whether an offered remedy is a refund, credit or reschedule.

Read the conditions carefully

For credits, ask about expiry, availability and transferability. For rescheduling, confirm any conditions attached to the new dates. Keep the terms and correspondence.

Booking policies cannot remove applicable consumer guarantee rights. The ACCC’s travel guidance explains the distinction between policy and consumer rights.

If you need to cancel, contact the booking business promptly. See the booking checklist and weather cancellation question.
