Cancellations & Refunds

Understanding your options after booking
04

Cancellation and refund rights are determined primarily by the fare rules of the airline you have booked with. Seruka's own modification window is as follows:

  • Within 5 hours of booking: Changes or cancellations may be requested by contacting our support team. Seruka's service fee is non-refundable.
  • After 5 hours: Requests are subject entirely to the airline's fare rules and cancellation policy.
  • Non-refundable fares: Many promotional or economy fares are non-refundable. This is displayed clearly before payment.
  • Refund processing: Approved refunds are returned to the original payment method within 7 – 14 business days.
  • No-show policy: Failure to board without prior cancellation forfeits the ticket value entirely.
📬 To initiate a change or cancellation, contact us at support@seruka.rw or call +250 780 761 102 within the permitted window.
