Overview

If a booking is cancelled or something goes wrong, you may be eligible for a refund. Whether and how much you get back depends on the provider’s cancellation policy and the situation. This guide explains how refunds work on HirePanther.

When you may be eligible

  • You cancel within the provider’s cancellation policy window.
  • The provider cancels or can’t deliver the service.
  • A dispute is resolved in your favour.

Late cancellations may be partly or fully non-refundable, so always check the policy before booking.

How to request a refund

  1. Open the booking from My bookings.
  2. If eligible, choose to cancel or request a refund.
  3. If the issue involves the provider, message them first — many situations are resolved directly.
  4. If you can’t agree, open a dispute or a support ticket and explain what happened.

Where your refund goes

Eligible refunds are typically returned to:

  • Your original payment method (for example, the card you paid with), or
  • Your HirePanther wallet as a balance you can reuse.

You can confirm a wallet refund in your wallet’s transaction history.

How long it takes

  • Wallet refunds usually appear quickly.
  • Card refunds can take several business days to show on your statement, depending on your bank.

Tips

  • Cancel as early as possible to maximize any refund.
  • Keep your booking reference handy when contacting support.
  • Check your wallet history and notifications to track the refund status.
  • Rescheduling or cancelling a booking
  • Your wallet: top-ups, balance & history
  • Disputes: how they’re resolved
