Terms and Conditions

Founders' Tour: Germany's Best Porsche Roads, September 5–12, 2026

Section 1

Deposit and Payment

A non-refundable deposit of $1,000 per person is required to secure your reservation. Upon receipt, deposit funds are applied toward non-recoverable trip costs, including hotel reservations, activity bookings, restaurant commitments, and other advance supplier payments made on the participant’s behalf. Because these costs are committed in advance and are largely non-refundable to Koch Delta LLC, deposits cannot be returned.

The remaining balance of $3,000 per person is due no later than 120 days before the departure date (May 8, 2026).

Payment may be made by check payable to Koch Delta LLC. Secure online payments via Stripe are also accepted.

Failure to submit full payment by the due date may result in forfeiture of your reservation and deposit.

By submitting payment (whether by check or via Stripe), the participant acknowledges that they have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions, the Participant Agreement and Waiver of Liability, and the Disclosure Statement.

Tour prices are based on costs and exchange rates at the time of publication. Koch Delta LLC reserves the right to adjust the tour price in the event of significant currency fluctuation or supplier cost increases, provided the participant has not yet submitted final payment.

Section 2

Cancellation by Participant

All cancellations must be submitted in writing to dorian@autobahngrandtouring.com.

Deposits are non-refundable. If the balance has already been paid, amounts beyond the deposit are refundable only if Koch Delta LLC is able to fill the participant’s spot.

If Koch Delta LLC cancels the tour, all payments including deposits will be refunded in full.

Koch Delta LLC strongly recommends the purchase of comprehensive travel insurance with trip cancellation coverage to protect your payments.

If this booking was solicited at an event, club gathering, or away from the organizer's place of business, the participant may cancel within three business days of signing for a full refund of all amounts paid. See the Notice of Cancellation form provided with the booking agreement.

Section 3

Replacement Participant

A participant who cannot attend may transfer their reservation to a replacement participant, subject to written approval by Koch Delta LLC and the replacement meeting all participation requirements. The original participant remains responsible for all fees until the transfer is complete.

Section 4

Cancellation by Organizer

Koch Delta LLC reserves the right to cancel the tour if fewer than 4 couples are confirmed.

In the event of cancellation by the organizer, a full refund of all payments, including deposits, will be issued. Koch Delta LLC is not responsible for non-refundable expenses incurred by participants, including but not limited to airfare, travel insurance, and car rental deposits.

In the event of force majeure (natural disaster, pandemic, government restrictions, or other circumstances beyond reasonable control), Koch Delta LLC will make reasonable efforts to provide a refund, less any non-recoverable costs already incurred.

Section 5

Changes to Itinerary

Hotels, routes, and activities described in tour materials are subject to change. In the event of any changes, equivalent alternatives will be provided.

Koch Delta LLC strives to confirm final hotel properties at least 90 days before the departure date. All properties will be boutique, local, unique, or castle hotels consistent with the character of the tour.

Changes to the itinerary do not constitute grounds for a refund.

If a participant misses a scheduled departure, activity, or portion of the Tour for any reason, no refund will be issued for the missed portion.

Section 6

Rental Vehicle

The rental vehicle contract is directly between the participant and CarVia (carvia.de). Koch Delta LLC is not a party to the rental agreement.

Koch Delta LLC is not responsible for vehicle condition, availability, insurance coverage, damage, mechanical breakdowns, or any disputes arising from the rental contract.

Rental prices quoted in tour materials include VAT, comprehensive insurance, and hotel delivery.

Lead cars will set the pace and route on driving days. Following the lead cars is entirely voluntary. No participant is required or expected to drive at any particular speed or in any particular manner.
