APPLYING “AID” FEES/COSTS IF “AID” service is requested and it is a client(s) voluntary request or error, that requires major changes, or if it is a Suppliers or Government change/decree/mistake/error or any other unforeseen Emergency situation, Evacuation or other request, this “AID” service FEE/COST will be levied.

At all times we hold sole discretion on what does or does not require fees/costs to be paid.

  • AXIS travel advisor(s)”AID” Fee is $330 per trip/file (not PP) per hour-or any part thereof to engage our “AID” – EMERGENCY/AFTER-HOURS SERVICES
  • “AID “Fee levied by Max Najar is $550 per trip/file (not PP) P/P per hour or any part thereof to engage our “AID” -EMERGENCY/AFTER-HOURS SERVICES

PRIOR PAYMENT REQUIREMENT TO INSTIGATE OUR “AID”

Any instigation to engage our “AID” – EMERGENCY/AFTER-HOURS SERVICES asked of us via any mode of communication will require an immediate payment to our advisors of a minimum of **1 hour, plus any additional costs required by us to satisfy any Airline, Supplier or Government entity costs and fees noted on our standard Fee schedule. Since 1978 we have used this service facility for Evacuations, Medical help, Warzone escapes, Humanitarian assistance, Repatriations etc.

  • This “AID” Service may be happening “live” with dynamic ongoing requests for assistance, replies and other services unfolding over a fast paced time period hence we may require extra monies to be paid otherwise the finalization of this “AID” service and other linked entities may stop and whatever outcome was envisaged will be lost/forfeited.. We will keep all parties informed in all aspects of what is taking place but we recommend the adoption of our standard “Signature On File” (S.O.F.) facility which allows us to debit valid bonafide Credit/Charge card(s) as an  effective and efficient method of backup payments. This is especially critical if our “AID” service is enacted, whereas Bank Transfers may be slow and ineffective. There are no refunds made on any monies paid to either us or any other linked entity requiring payments, hence our “AID” service is only enacted when specifically required.
  • Unlike many other professions, who “surprise” a client with costs applicable after an event has taken place, we will provide ongoing estimation of costs as PCF and other costs are known (usually) as the “AID” service is active and live. Fees are non-refundable but may be tax deductible and in some cases Travel Insurance may cover such costs as per the Insurers PDS (Policy Disclosure Statement) states which is to be researched and noted by the affected persons.

Most quality Travel Insurers will cover costs applied, hence a quality Policy is strongly recommended

IF “AID” service is requested but we determine that our Agency or our registered travel advisors have made an error or if a problem emanates directly from AXIS we will levy zero “AID” fees . We always believe in honest and fair business ethics.
