International Travel

If your travel plans involve international travel, you agree to be responsible for ensuring that you have all necessary travel documents (such as passports and visas), that you meet all foreign entry requirements, and that you have obtained any required medical guidance, medications, and required inoculations prior to travel. Fernway VR shall not be liable for any liability for travelers who are refused boarding onto an international common carrier or entry into (or transit through) a country for any reason.

Although most travel is completed without serious incident, travel to certain destinations may involve a higher level of risk than others. We strongly suggest that guests whose plans involve travel outside the United States review, prior to booking, travel warnings, advisories, restrictions, announcements, cautions, and prohibitions issued by the United States Government. International travel information is available at the United States State Department website ( www.state.gov ) and at other United States Government websites, including www.tsa.gov , www.dot.gov , www.treas.gov/ofac , www.cbp.gov , www.faa.gov , and www.cdc.gov .

Travelers who are citizens of a country other than the United States should review any travel warnings or advisories issued by their own government.

Fernway VR may, but is not obligated to, display rental and other fees for vacation rentals in the United States in foreign currencies, or display fees for vacation rentals outside the United States in United States Dollars.

Fernway VR may in the future charge a currency conversion fee. You will be notified of the currency in which you will be charged for a vacation rental, and the amount of any Fernway VR currency conversion fee.
