F.A.Q.

What is an ELECTRONIC TRAVEL AUTHORIZATION (ETA)?

An Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) is NOT a Visa.
Electronic Travel Authorizations (ETAs) are an entry requirement for foreign nationals who are exempt from a visa but are traveling to or transiting through a country. ETAs allow the destination country to screen travelers before they arrive.

Click here for more information: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/apply-for-an-electronic-travel-authorisation-eta

Do I need an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) for this trip?

Yes!
It costs £10 to apply. Everyone travelling needs to get an ETA, including babies and children. You can apply for other people.
You cannot get a refund after you apply.

Here is the link to apply:

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/apply-for-an-electronic-travel-authorisation-eta

Can I pay by Zelle?

Yes!

We started taking Zelle payments last month and we found this to be a fast and FREE way to pay!
For those who don’t know what Zelle is… it is very much like a wire transfer (but it is not a wire transfer).

Everyone’s bank is different, though, so you may want to call/go in to your local bank and ask to have the maximum amount available to transfer every day.

Example: Some banks only allow $500/day transfer. Other banks will allow $1200/day.

Always be careful when making payments through Zelle to people that you do not know. There is no protection guarantee provided and you cannot reverse the fee.

The Pros for using Zelle:

It is FREE (no processing fees)!
It is instantaneous (funds will go directly to Zone Travel- so this is the absolute fastest way to make a payment)

The Cons for using Zelle:

Every bank is different when it comes to maximum amount available to be transferred every day. So, this may mean that you need to make multiple payments to Zone Travel, multiple days in a row.
It does require an app download onto your phone, and you need to set up your account with your bank information.

Can I pay by check?

Yes!

If you would like to avoid the 4%processing fees, you may pay by check.
It is very important that you pay in advance of the deadlines and allow ample time for delivery.

Payments received after the deadline could result in cancelation of your reservation or increased fees.

There are two ways to pay by check:

Mail the check
Deposit directly at a local branch
