JoinYourTrip does not charge TripMates (travelers) for using the platform to discover and join trips. However, TripMates are required to pay for their trip expenses, including accommodation, transportation, activities, and any other costs associated with the trip. The price of each trip varies depending on factors such as destination, duration, activities included, and accommodation options. TripMates can view trip details and pricing information on the JoinYourTrip platform before booking a trip.

Can I ask questions before booking a trip?

On JoinYourTrip, TripMates have the option to seek clarifications and information about trips before booking. They can access the platform's FAQ section, which offers answers to commonly asked questions regarding trip details, booking procedures, payment methods, and cancellation policies. If their query is not addressed in the FAQ section, TripMates can reach out to the JoinYourTrip support team for further assistance. Through email or a contact form provided on the platform, TripMates can communicate their inquiries directly to the support team, who will promptly respond with relevant information. This system allows TripMates to gather all necessary details and make informed decisions about joining a trip, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable travel experience.

Does the TripCaptain travel with us?

Yes, your TripCaptain will, of course, come along on the trip! After all, they are responsible for the organization and planning of the trip

Is the full amount required to be paid at once for booking a trip?

Yes, currently, you are required to pay the full amount upfront for your trip reservation.

What exactly is included in the cost per TripMate?

The price quoted by the TripCaptain includes local transportation and accommodation cost, not transportation to the starting and end points of the trip. Depending on the trip, local activities may also be included in the price. Just ask your TripCaptain directly. They'll be happy to help!

Is the flight included in the price?

No, the flight is not included. To find affordable flights, we recommend using MakeMyTrip, Skyscanner and Momondo. By checking all three of these services, you should be able to find 99% of all available flights.

Is JoinYourTrip a tour operator?

No, JoinYourTrip doesn't arrange trips. We are a booking platform that allows everyone to offer and join group trips. We are happy to support TripCaptains with the planning and organization of their trips but, at the end of the day, it’s the TripCaptain's trip. As a TripMate, you travel with your TripCaptain, not with JoinYourTrip.

Can I only book a part of a trip?

That depends on your TripCaptain. Simply send them a message and ask directly. For some trips, this is easier than for others.

Are the trips guaranteed to take place?

As with any group trip, the TripCaptain may not find enough TripMates. However, a lot of times trips take place with fewer people than originally planned. For more details, you can ask your TripCaptain directly.

What happens if the TripCaptain gets sick?

If a TripCaptain gets sick or is otherwise prevented from going on the trip, this is first and foremost not at all nice for them. We are sure that they would like to start the trip as much as you do; if not more. We, at JoinYourTrip, will do everything we can to find a suitable replacement. If our search is unsuccessful, we will see if a team member of JoinYourTrip can travel with your group as a TripCaptain. After all, we love what we do -- traveling! If all else fails, we will take on as many TripCaptain duties as we can -- organize accommodation, find directions, make suggestions for activities, etc. We’ll even pay for a local SIM card for you, so that you can always reach us. Of course, the trip can be canceled. Please see the section "Cancelation Policy". We will support you as best as we can and make the process as easy as possible.

How safe is it to travel with JoinYourTrip?

Safety is our top priority. Every TripCaptain has to verify their phone number and identity with us by uploading an ID or passport. Plus, we screen each TripCaptain (see FAQ "Who can become a TripCaptain"), check each trip individually before it goes online and are in direct contact with the TripCaptains. Most importantly, our community protects you. We screen all the TripMates in your group. If there is a problem, we will definitely intervene remotely. If you still have any doubts, please contact us.
