*No verbal statements take precedence over the established rules and regulations.

Reservations

• Reservations are non-refundable – Once a passenger submits a reservation request, GMG reserves the right to process the transaction. If a passenger who purchased a Flexible Reservation intends to cancel a reservation and the reservation is eligible for a cancellation, GMG will provide the passenger with a Travel Credit to be used on a future reservation.

• Reservations are not transferable – Once a reservation request is submitted, the name of the reservation may not be altered. Reservations may not be transferred from one passenger to another.

• Web-generated reservations only – All reservation requests must be initiated through GMG’s website. Reservation requests are processed according to the information that was provided by the passenger; therefore, GMG is not responsible for any errors made by the passenger when submitting the reservation.

• Route-specific reservation – Passengers are expected to honor the date, time, departure/arrival locations indicated on the Booking Confirmation. Failure to honor any part of the reservation is sufficient to cause for GMG to deny any compensation related to the specific reservation in the event of a missed trip.

• Reservations are not eligible for upgrade – One-way reservations may not be upgraded to round trip reservations. Another one-way reservation for the return may be submitted or, if eligible, the one-way trip may be canceled and a round trip reservation may be submitted thereafter.

 

Booking Confirmation

• Booking Confirmation delivery – Booking Confirmations are emailed automatically from the email address gmg@gmgtrans.com.

• Failed delivery or lost Booking Confirmation – If after submitting the reservation request the passenger did not receive or been able to locate the Booking Confirmation, it is the passenger’s responsibility to contact GMG.

Please be sure to include all the following information in all email requests for Booking Confirmations to support@gmgtrans.com:

1. Subject of the email: Booking Confirmation not Received

2. Full name of the passengers

3. Travel date, time, and departure

• Passengers that do not travel due to missing Booking Confirmation – Compensation will not be provided to passengers who claim that they did not travel as a result of not receiving the Booking Confirmation. Failure to locate the Booking Confirmation is often the result of spam mail settings, an incorrect email address, or mistaken deletion of the email.

• Duplicate Reservations – If duplicate reservations are submitted, GMG will gladly compensate each duplicate reservation with a travel credit; however, refunds will not be issued. For this reason, it is advisable that passengers confirm the status of the first reservation request prior to submitting another reservation request.

 

Cancellations and Changes to Reservations

 

• Eligible Change and/or Cancellation – All changes and cancellations must be completed via the passenger's GMG online account. All passengers who send email requests for changes or cancellation will be instructed to submit the request via the website.

 

Travel Credits

Flexible Reservations Only*

• Travel credits will be issued as a form of compensation for eligible cancellations approved by GMG Transport.

• When an eligible reservation is downgraded from a round trip to a one way, the passenger will be issued a Travel Credit for the price difference from a round trip to a one way.

Conditions

• Travel credits will be valid for 90 consecutive days from the issuance date. It is the passenger's responsibility to redeem the travel credit prior to its expiration. GMG Transport is not responsible for any travel credits that expire without redemption.

Redemption

• Travel Credits may be redeemed during the checkout process.

 

Delays / Canceled Trips

• At GMG, timeliness and organization are a priority. Although it is our goal to mitigate unforeseen circumstances to the best of our abilities, it is not always possible to avoid all delays. Some of the more common unavoidable delays may be the result of weather or traffic. In any unforeseen circumstance, our staff will be highly appreciative of the patience and cooperation of passengers. No compensation will be provided for delayed departures or arrivals.

• If GMG is unable to complete a trip as scheduled, a travel credit will be issued for the unused portion of the trip.

 

Departures and Arrivals

• “No Shows” are not eligible for compensation – A “no-show” is a passenger not present to board the bus at the time scheduled to depart according to their reservation. A passenger that arrives late may be considered a “no-show”.

• All passengers are expected to honor the departure and arrival locations indicated on their Booking Confirmations. Failure to do so may result in the passenger being denied boarding.

• Changes to departure and/or arrival location will be accepted if eligible according to our rules regarding changes.
