Frequently Asked Questions

Top Customer Care Questions

1.      What should I do if I didn't receive a confirmation email for my reservation?

After completing your booking you should receive a confirmation page with your Trip ID # followed by a confirmation email. If you did not receive your confirmation email, we recommend that you check the Spam folder in your email to ensure that your confirmation email was not auto-filtered to that folder. Additionally, you may want to add RIM to your “allowed” senders list so that we can send you confirmation emails and information regarding your future departures. If you don't receive your confirmation email, you can always verify your reservations.

2.      What fee is charged for changing my airline ticket?

Cancel Your Ticket: You can cancel your airline reservation; however, your ticket may have no value or be subject to penalties for any changes to your itinerary. All airline tickets are subject to the rules and restrictions you agreed to at the time of purchase. Many tickets are non-refundable and some have no value for future purchase.

Change Your Ticket:
Most tickets carry penalties for changes. If you change your itinerary, a new ticket must be issued. Airlines charge a fee to exchange your original ticket for credit. The average reissue fee for a non-refundable or restricted domestic ticket is $100. If the new airfare is greater than the original airfare, you must pay the fare difference in addition to the reissue fee. RIM and other travel agencies do not control the fees set by the airline and have no authority to waive them.

Some tickets do not allow any changes, even with a fee. Some types of changes are not allowed, even if the ticket allows changes. Here are some general restrictions:

•         You cannot change the name on an airline ticket or give the ticket to someone else to use.

•         You cannot exchange a ticket from one airline to another.

•         Some airlines will not allow the ticket to be reused if the original reservation was not cancelled within their designated timeframe

 

3.      How do I change or cancel my hotel reservation?

Any changes may be subject to a cancellation fee plus any applicable penalties if your cancellation or change request is made after the cutoff date.

Changes or cancellations made AFTER the check-in date are subject to 100% penalty. Once you have checked into a hotel you cannot cancel or receive credit for unused nights if you check out early. If your hotel was prepaid, any change or cancellation may results in fees from $25.00 up to the full cost of your stay. Any applicable fees will be displayed during the cancellation process. If your hotel was not prepaid and your cancellation is processed before the hotel charges a cancellation penalty, you will not be charged. The hotel cancellation policy is listed in the trip details page.
