01 / How payment works

Secure online payment confirms every booking.

A short overview of how payment, confirmation, and this cancellation policy work together.

Every booking on Desert Buggy Rental Dubai is confirmed with secure online advance payment through our booking platform. Major debit and credit cards are accepted in UAE dirhams (AED), with no extra card-processing fee added at checkout.

Once payment goes through, a confirmation follows by email and WhatsApp, usually within a few hours and always inside 48 hours. That confirmation is your booking reference — keep it handy if you need to reschedule or cancel.

This page covers what happens if plans change: how much notice gets a full refund, what a late cancellation costs, and what happens when Desert Buggy Rental Dubai has to cancel a tour instead. For direct help, message +971 52 440 9525.

02 / Refund tiers

How much notice you give decides the refund.

These timings apply to individual and small-group bookings (up to 3 guests).

96+ hours

Full refund

Cancel 96 hours or more before your scheduled tour time and receive a 100% refund — no cancellation fee.

24-96 hours

Partial refund

Cancel between 24 and 96 hours before your tour and a 50% cancellation fee applies; the remaining 50% is refunded.

Under 24 hours

No refund

Cancelling less than 24 hours before your tour, or not showing up, is treated as a completed booking — no refund is issued.

03 / Group bookings & special cases

Group size and weather change the rules slightly.

Larger bookings and operator-side cancellations follow their own timing.

Groups 4 or more guests

7 or more days before the tour: 50% cancellation fee. 5 days or less: 100% fee, no refund.

Weather Tour cancelled by us

If we cancel for weather or safety reasons, you get a full refund or a free reschedule — your choice, subject to availability.

Reschedule Free date changes

Moving your tour to a new date costs nothing, as long as the new slot is available. Ask early for the widest choice.

Timing Refunds take up to 30 days

Approved refunds return to the original payment method within 30 days of approval.
