Payment and refunds
Version dated 13.10.2026. Part of the AzerGid Public Offer. How payment works on the Site, how to cancel a booking and how money is refunded in each section.
1. General provisions
1.1. Each booking is governed by the rule of the section it belongs to. Times are given in Baku time (Asia/Baku). The free cancellation deadline for a specific booking is shown before payment, on the booking page and in the confirmation e-mail.
1.2. How you pay. Payment takes place on the payment provider’s secure page. There are two methods:
- immediate charge — the amount is charged to the card immediately;
- hold (blocking of the amount) — the amount is blocked on the card and charged later, within the period stated in the section. While the amount is blocked, it has not been charged.
The Site shows which method applies before payment. The method depends on the section and on how much time remains before the start of the service.
1.3. What happens to the money on cancellation:
| Payment status | What happens |
|---|---|
| Amount blocked (hold) | The hold is released. The money was not charged, there is nothing to refund. |
| Amount charged | Refund to the same card. The refund amount and the retained amount are stated on the booking page and in the e-mail. |
| Payment still being processed by the bank | Cancellation is not possible until the bank confirms the payment. Try again later or write to the operator. |
| No payment was made | The order is cancelled, nothing is charged. |
1.4. Refund period. AzerGid initiates the refund within 5 business days after the cancellation or the dispute decision; crediting to the card depends on your bank and usually takes up to 10 business days. The total period is up to 15 business days.
1.5. Cancellation due to the Partner’s fault or force majeure (the Partner or guide cancelled, the group was not filled, you were not checked in, the service is impossible due to a natural disaster or acts of public authorities) — the full amount is refunded to you without deductions or the hold is released.
1.6. Right to withdraw from the service. Under the Law “On Protection of Consumer Rights” you have the right to withdraw from the service at any time before it starts. If the withdrawal occurs after the free cancellation deadline, the amount stated in the section is retained — it covers the actual expenses of the Partner and the platform related to holding the dates, preparation and the lost opportunity to sell the service to another customer.
1.7. How to cancel. The “Cancel” button is on the booking page (link in the confirmation e-mail). It is available before the start of the service, while the self-service cancellation period is running. In other cases — through the operator (the “Call an operator” button in the chat or the support e-mail).
1.8. No-show. If you did not come, did not arrive or did not accept the service at the appointed time without cancelling, the service is deemed provided and the payment is not refunded.
1.9. Retained amounts on late cancellation or no-show remain with AzerGid as a late cancellation fee; no payout to the Partner is made for a cancelled booking. Exception — accommodation (section 3): the retained cost of the first night is paid to the Partner less the standard AzerGid commission, as for a paid booking.
2. Car rental
2.1. What is paid online. A prepayment of 15% of the rental cost is paid online — AzerGid’s fee for the booking. The remainder of the rental cost and the refundable deposit are paid by you to the Partner on receipt of the car on the terms stated in the car listing.
2.2. Payment window — 60 minutes after the order is placed. If payment is not made in time, the order is cancelled and the dates are released.
2.3. Free cancellation by the customer — up to 48 hours before the start of the rental: the prepayment is refunded in full.
2.4. Late cancellation (less than 48 hours in advance) and no-show — the prepayment is not refunded. The remainder of the rental and the deposit are not paid, since the car was not received.
2.5. Cancellation by the Partner — possible before the rental start date, with a mandatory reason. The customer receives an e-mail, the prepayment is refunded in full.
2.6. Deposit. The terms of the deposit, its return and deductions (damage, fuel, mileage, fines) are the Partner’s terms; they are shown in the car listing before payment and recorded in the handover report on receipt and return of the car. Basic driver requirements: age 21 or older, driving experience of 2 years or more, valid passport and driver’s license; the Partner may set stricter requirements and state them in the listing.
3. Accommodation
3.1. Payment — 100% of the cost online, nothing is paid additionally on site. The dates are held for you for 30 minutes before payment.
