General Regulations
The following general regulations apply to all refund and exchange requests:
- Weather cancellations: When the operator cancels a sailing for weather or safety reasons, passengers on fast ferries receive a 100 percent refund or a free transfer to the nearest sailing. Thanh Thoi and Binh An car ferries do not refund tickets and instead move passengers to a suitable departure.
- Fare differences: If a ticket is exchanged for a higher priced sailing, the passenger pays the difference. If exchanged for a lower priced ticket, the fare difference is not refunded.
- Payment method: All refunds are credited back to the original card or account used during checkout. Cash refunds at port counters are not available for online e-tickets.
