No. We offer a three-day courtesy hold for all eligible trips, during which time your price is locked in and your spot is not available to anyone else. For this reason, we cannot hold any reservation indefinitely because it could potentially result in others missing out on a spot that is not eventually booked. If you need more time to confirm your reservation, please let your Trip Consultant know. You can also log in to your Backroads Account to confirm any open holds or to cancel a hold or request.
