  • Is my payment safe?

    CVV

    At Omio, we strive for maximum security when handling payments. For this reason, customers paying with credit cards should enter their credit card verification (CVV) number during the booking process. The credit card verification number is a three- or four-digit sequence of numbers printed on the front or back of your card.

    • VISA, MasterCard, Maestro, Discover, UnionPay, Diners Club: The three-digit number is located in the signature area on the back of the card.

    • American Express: The four-digit number is located above the stamp on the front of the card.

    3D Secure

    3D Secure (3DS) is an additional layer of security that allows cardholders to authenticate their identity with the issuer of their credit card at the time of payment. This requires cardholders to enter an additional password using their particular credit card’s authentication service:

    • “MasterCard Identity Check” at Mastercard,
    • “Visa Secure” at Visa,
    • “Safekey” at American Express,
    • “J/Secure” at JCB,
    • “ProtectBuy” at Diners and Discover.


    To make online payment transactions safer, the transaction needs to be confirmed by at least two of the following three elements:

  • Why haven't I received my refund?

    Refund processing times vary depending on how you paid for your booking:

    • Credit or debit card: Refunds usually appear in your bank account within 3–5 days, plus any additional processing time required by your bank.
    • PayPal: Refunds usually appear in your PayPal account within 1–2 business days, plus any additional processing time required by your bank.
    • Direct bank transfer (iDEAL or Sofort): Refunds can take up to 15 days to appear in your bank account.

    Please note that additional processing times may apply depending on your bank or payment provider. For cancelled bookings, we can only issue your refund after we have been reimbursed by the travel company.

    If you are waiting for a refund, please avoid opening a dispute with your bank or payment provider. Once a dispute is filed, we are not able to process your refund until it clears, which can take additional time for processing.

    If your refund has not arrived after the expected timeframe, contact our Customer Service team.

  • Why was my payment rejected?

    Don’t worry if your payment is initially declined:

    • You may have entered incorrect payment details. Double-check your card details and billing address and try again.

    • Your card issuer may have not authorized your transaction due to a technical error or blocked it due to unusual activity. Please contact your card issuer or try another card or payment method.

    • You may have exceeded your card limit. Try again using another card or payment method.

    If your problem persists, it could be that your card issuer is preventing international payments for security reasons. Please inform your bank of your intention to make a purchase with us and try to book again.

    We are here to help! Please contact us below if you continue to experience any issues.

  • What is the service fee? What is the booking rate? Can I be charged with both?

    Omio may charge a service fee for the intermediation service we provide and for running the platform (e.g. website available in multiple language options, different payment options, customer support in several languages, etc.). These fees help us improve our website to ensure the best quality experience for our customers.

    In addition, Omio may charge a booking rate for the search, comparison, combination and booking service we offer via the platform. The booking rate relates to Omio’s costs to maintain and develop all the various travel services we offer (various travel modes, countries, travel operators, etc.) and to process the bookings with our travel partners.

    When booking a trip on Omio, you may be charged both. Omio will inform you before purchase which service fees and/or booking rates apply so you can accept them before paying.

  • Are service fees refundable?

    No, Omio service fees are non-refundable. These fees are charged for the services Omio provides when processing and confirming your booking, regardless of whether your ticket is later cancelled or refunded.

  • Is the booking rate refundable?

    Yes, if you booked a refundable fare, the booking rate will be refunded.

  • Do I always have to pay a service fee?

    The service fee will be charged depending on the trip booked, the platform used (e.g. desktop or App), dates of booking and travelling, among other criteria. In multiple scenarios, no service fee will be charged.

    The booking rate will be charged depending on the trip booked, the platform used (e.g. desktop or App), dates of booking and travelling, among other criteria. In multiple scenarios, no booking rate will be charged.

  • Why is there a service fee?

    An Omio service fee may apply to certain bookings. This fee helps support the services available through the Omio platform, including booking management, customer support, multiple payment methods, and assistance with ticket changes, cancellations, and refunds where permitted by the travel company.

    Any applicable service fee will be clearly shown before you complete your booking.

  • What fees are included in my booking?

    Any applicable fees will be clearly displayed during the booking process. This includes the ticket price, service fees, the booking rate, and any charges applied by the travel company.

    Before payment is processed, you will be able to review the complete booking total and all included fees.

  • What are card processing fees?

    We may charge additional fees for using certain payment methods as stated by the applicable laws, i.e. if you use a corporate card or a tripartite system (American Express or Diners). These fees are non-refundable. Please note that our systems automatically detect the payment method you actually use, and the corresponding additional fees are charged, if any.

  • I am expecting a refund, but my credit card is no longer valid. Can the refund be issued to a different credit card?

    We can only issue refunds to the original credit card or payment method and currency used at the time of booking.

    In case of an expired credit card or closed account, we kindly ask you to contact our Customer Service team, who can provide the Acquirer Reference Number (ARN) with which your bank can locate the refund.

    Please contact us using the options below.

  • Will my Omio voucher be refunded if I cancel my booking?

    If you used an Omio voucher when making your booking, the voucher value will not be refunded if you cancel your trip or request a refund. Please note that Omio vouchers and service fees are non-refundable, in accordance with the Terms & Conditions of Use for Omio Vouchers.

  • I was charged but haven't received my tickets - what should I do?

    If you were charged but did not receive your booking confirmation email or tickets, first check that the payment was successfully processed.

    If the payment was successful, please check your inbox and spam folder for the confirmation email, and make sure the email address entered during booking is correct. In many cases, missing tickets are caused by a typo or an incorrect email address.

    Customers with an Omio account can resend their confirmation email from the "Your Bookings" page.

    If you still cannot locate your booking, contact our Customer Service team with proof of payment. We can then help find your reservation and resend your tickets.

    Please note that bookings completed directly on a travel company’s website must be managed with that provider, as Omio cannot access those reservation details.

  • The price of my ticket changed before I finished booking

    Ticket prices and availability are updated in real time by the travel companies. As a result, the price shown when you start your booking may change before you complete your purchase.

    If the price changes, you will be notified before your booking is confirmed and before any payment is taken. Please note that ticket prices are set by the travel companies, so Omio cannot change or override the prices displayed.

  • Do you provide an invoice?

    Yes, you will receive an invoice for your booking in your confirmation email. Before completing your booking, you can add your billing details, including a VAT number, on the final payment page.

    Please make sure your billing information is correct before confirming your purchase, as it cannot be changed after booking. If your booking includes an Omio service fee, it will be included on the same invoice.

  • Paying with iDEAL

    What is iDEAL?

    With iDEAL you can make online payments reliably, securely and easily through a direct online transfer. Payments are done using your bank’s mobile banking app or online banking environment.

    Is iDEAL safe?

    iDeal is a secure payment method since the payment is done within your bank’s app or environment, using strong security techniques and standards.

    How to use iDEAL on Omio.com?

    When finalizing your booking, you can choose the payment option “iDEAL – Direct Bank Payment”.

    image5.png

    Why can’t I use iDEAL?

    This may be due to the following reasons:

    • The currency you selected not being supported by iDEAL. Only EUR payments are accepted.
    • You are not a resident of the Netherlands.
    • Your bank does not have a license for processing iDEAL payments. If your bank name does not appear in the drop-down menu, your bank is probably not supported by iDEAL.
