Cancellation and Refund Policy

The amount of the Cancellation Fee is based on how far in advance from the start date of the trip you cancel your program. 

# Days Prior to Start Date	Cancellation Fee per Participant
120 days or more	No Fee, deposit converts to credit
119-90 days	25% of full program fee
89 to 45 days	50% of full program fee
Less than 45 days	100% of full program fee

 

Due to the fact The Good Life Abroad is entering into legally binding apartment leases on behalf of its clients, this schedule is not flexible. We strongly encourage all participants to purchase Trip Cancellation Insurance in case they need to cancel their trip.

Change of Program Policy

Because we are entering legally binding apartment leases on behalf of our clients, cancellation fees apply to changes to start date or destination when made less than 120 days prior to the program start date. Changes made more than 120 days prior only incur a $50 change fee per participant.

# Days Prior to Start Date	Change Fee per Participant
120 days or more	$50 per participant
119-90 days	25% of full program fee
89 to 45 days	50% of full program fee
Less than 45 days	100% of full program fee

Insurance

The Good Life Abroad provides a blanket travel medical insurance policy that covers you during your experience with us. We refer to this as the “Base Plan”, and details can be found here.

In addition to the Base Plan, for an additional price you may purchase the “Voluntary Plan”. This provides additional benefits and the option to buy Cancel For Any Reason insurance, and an option for a Pre-Existing Condition Exclusion waiver. Details and pricing can be found here.

 

We strongly recommend participants purchase Trip Cancellation Insurance to protect their investment in case they are not able to participate in the program for any reason.
