Travelers will also pay the homeowner double their nightly rate each day for any stay not booked or approved by the Property Owner/Host/Co-Host using the account on file. If the traveler does not respond or leave the listing the Property Owner/Host/Co-Host has the authority to call local authorities to have the traveler removed and Health Care Travels will contact the employment agency and recruiter. We also reserve the right to ban any traveler from using our platform if they overstay their reservation. Travelers must respect check-out dates and times for cleaning measures and other upcoming travelers' bookings.
Canceling Approved bookings
Homeowners who cancel bookings after they have already accepted will be charged a penalty fee of $100 if the reason for cancellation does not fall within our Extenuating Circumstance Policy with provided proof. Homeowners must understand that canceling a traveler whom they have already approved may cause an inconvenience to the traveler to find another housing option and Health Care Travels will have to refund the traveler of their booking.

Holiday’s Impact on HCT Payments
Similar to initiating payment on a typical weekend, if you’re initiating your payment on a banking holiday processing times will be delayed until the next business day.
If a Bank Holiday Falls on a Weekday
When a payment is initiated on a bank holiday that falls on a weekday, the transfer will be delayed until the next business day. For example, if you initiate payment on Christmas Day which falls on Friday, it won’t actually initiate until Monday, the next operating business day.
If a Bank Holiday Falls on a Weekend
If a banking holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, it could also affect your payment processing date. For example, if a federal holiday falls on a Saturday, it is usually observed on the preceding Friday. Likewise, when a holiday falls on a Sunday, it is usually observed on the following Monday.
Holidays
Holidays include but not limited to New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents’ Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans’ Day, Thanksgiving Day Christmas Day
