Excellent service when neededing to cancel. 100% refund and great customer service

I had a trip to Cancun booked for the end of August. Unfortunitely with all thats going on with Covid19 I had to cancel. After hearing horror stories from other travel agents I was worried about the cancelation process. I had no need to be. I dealt with Elaine during my correspodence who was very helpful and within 3 weeks of cancelling I had recieved a 100% refund back into my bank account. While I could not travel with Budget Travel this year, this experience has made sure I will return to them when I go to book a holiday in the future.

No refund yet for Easter holiday

No refund yet for Easter holiday. I have not had any contact about my refund since the holiday was originally cancelled months ago. I spoke to a lovely girl at the time who advised they would be in touch, but no contact since. Could I have an update on my refund please? Thanks in advance.

Fantastic staff

I have never used budget travel before but absolutely will in the future. Danielle was exceptionally patient with me as I've had 2 holidays previously cancelled and she was expert at advising places to go to. Fingers crossed I get away in 2 weeks' time but if I don't I will definitely be booking again with budget travel.

These are exceptional times we are going through and the travel industry are having to change things on an hourly basis. They are to be commended for their professionalism and communication. Well done

My inquiry was dealt with efficiently and with great courtesy by Aoife Dunphy.
I was delighted that she was still employed by Budget Travel as I last dealt with her in January when I was in NYC and confirming flights booked four months previously. Aoife has always been pleasant and helpful and a friendly voice when assisting with even the most complex travel arrangements.

Withholding my refund

So stressful. Budget travel have refused to refund me even though I have sent them several emails with supporting government documents and information given to me by CCPC stating that I am entitled to a refund from budget travel. Wilfully deceptive in their dealings with me and display utter contempt for customer service.

I have been trying to contact them for over two weeks left voicemails sent emails no reply left a review on their website no reply balance of our holiday is due soon invoice says balance is due 10 weeks before departure when you try to pay for the balance it gives a different date not sure if the flights are operating not sure If our accommodation is open can't get any answers I understand that everyone is under extreme pressure and probably working with a skeleton staff but I feel I should have got something back from them at this stage

Covid 19 refund processing

I was due to travel the 13th of April and was called in March because of the covid-19,restrictions to be told I'd get a refund, that they were just waiting on money back from Ryanair. I received a further call saying they were getting the money back from Ryanair. Its been a month and a half and I've still not received my refund. I've tried calling and no answer, I emailed and no answer, I understand they're under pressure but I had hoped I'd have my refund by now. I was hoping to rebook it for next year with budget travel as not all of this is their fault. I'm just hoping to hear back soon

Dishonest response

I posted a review recently and received a dishonest response.
In short, only After I had paid for the package was I told that building works would be carried out at the hotel.
Budget also quoted the wrong sales person involved, so they did not even check the complaint.
