CETA Tours Tour Payment Information

Our payments are spread out so that travelers have time to earn the money to pay for their tour. 

Payment Policies 

  • Deposit is due with completed tour application (collected by teachers).
  • All payments after the initial deposit should be made/mailed directly to CETA Tours. Allow at least 5 business days for payments sent via USPS. 
  • Additional payments are scheduled based on the application deadline and tour departure date.
  • Final payment is due approximately three months prior to departure.
  • Payments made prior to scheduled deadlines are accepted.
  • Personal checks, cashier’s checks, and money orders made payable to CETA Tours are accepted for payment.
  • Credit cards and ACH payments are accepted via our online portal for all payments after the initial deposit. 
  • Due to compliance rules, we are unable to accept payments over the phone. 
  • Invoices are e-mailed directly to adult travelers or, for students, the parents/guardian emails listed on the application. Check spam and/or promotions folder for these emails. 
  • Fundraising checks are accepted. Contact CETA Tours for more information and deadlines.
  • Price adjustments related to final tour participant numbers are made 2-3 weeks prior to the final payment deadline.

Troubleshooting Online Payments

  • Make sure the address entered matches the billing address for your credit card exactly.
  • Debit card users often have a daily spending limit lower than credit cards - call your bank for more information or to request a temporary increase so that you can make a payment.
  • Double-check that your credit card doesn't have a daily spending limit.
  • Paying for multiple travelers? Some credit cards may not allow you to make two identical, high-value charges on the same day. Space out your payments by 24-36 hours if necessary.
