Deposit: To reserve a place on one of our multi day tours we require a $200 deposit per person which you can submit securely through our website, or call our office. Upon submitting your reservation, you will receive a confirmation of your paid deposit, a trip itinerary, a packing list, travel tips, a trip Assumption of Risk Form/Waiver, a Participation Contract** and other useful information to help you prepare for your tour. 

Full payment for your tour is due 30 days in advance of your tour, and we will use the same card on file unless advised otherwise. For Private multi-day tours we will charge the same card on file at 45 days prior to departure.

** In this new era of travel after the onset of Covid-19 we now have a Participation Contract we will need you to review and complete.  This is to ensure we are all on the same page as far as expectations regarding health concerns.

Disclaimer

Rim Tours may cancel or reroute any tour in part or in whole due to acts of nature, trail conditions, insufficient number of participants, a force majeure that prohibits travel to or from a specific area, or other unforeseen circumstances that would hinder our ability to run a trip. Rim Tours will work with you to provide you with an alternate trip, though none of the reasons above except for insufficient number of participants would constitute a reason for any refund of monies paid. Rim Tours is not responsible for any additional expenses that may be incurred by a guest in relation to a cancelled or rerouted tour including costs incurred due to travel delays, flight cancellations, sickness and non-refundable air tickets and/or any penalties associated with such tickets.

Travel Insurance

Please consider purchasing Travel Insurance for emergency medical and evacuation coverage and for protection against trip cancellation.

Medical Coverage

We recognize that not everyone has medical insurance. Choosing to take a mountain biking vacation involves some amount of risk. Everyone who takes up the sport of mountain biking will fall at some point. You never know when a simple fall may result in a broken bone or a bad case of road rash.  Injuries may prevent you from continuing your trip and necessitate a visit to the emergency room.  This can get expensive, especially if you are injured in the back country where evacuation costs can escalate quickly!  We recommend purchasing Travel Insurance even if you already have medical insurance since some expenses may not be included or are not fully covered by your policy.

Trip Cancellation

Rim Tours has a cancellation policy that we must abide by to protect our ability to continue offering trips, and to protect your tour in case others cancel.  Unfortunately cancellations do happen, sometimes within the period of time where we can’t offer a refund.  In many of these instances, Trip Cancellation Insurance covers forfeited, non-refundable deposits or payments up to the limits purchased.  Please consider protecting your investment!  We often see last minute cancellations due to illness or injury of the participant or a family member and all of this would be covered by trip insurance.

Upon booking a tour we will send information about purchasing travel insurance but ask us for more details or for a more detailed description of coverage or information on more extensive plans or coverage, please call Travel Guard at 800-826-1300 or visit their website at www.travelguard.com.
