How It Works

The Booking Process

Choose a Trip or Request Your Own

Browse current TRV group experiences, or submit a travel request when you need a custom trip, flight, hotel, car, cruise, activity, or group plan built for you.

Use Your TRV Account

Create or sign in to your TRV account so your request, traveler details, quotes, approvals, payments, and trip status stay together in one secure place.

Review Your Proposal

When your quote is ready, TRV sends it to you for review. Open the full proposal, compare the available options and details, and submit your choice or approval from your account.

Approve & Pay Securely

After approval, your booking and amount due appear in your TRV account. Depending on the trip or quote, you can pay in full or use the deposit and payment options shown at checkout.

TRV Handles the Details

We coordinate the confirmed travel components, supplier details, payment status, and trip information tied to your booking. Your account remains your home base for updates.

Travel & Enjoy

Keep your trip details and payment status in your TRV account, watch for your confirmations and updates, and focus on enjoying the experience.

Flexible Payment Options

When a trip or quote offers a deposit option, the required amount is shown before you complete checkout.

Prefer to handle everything at once? Pay in full at booking and you're all set. No more payments to worry about—just pack and go.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in the trip price?+

Inclusions vary by trip and by quote. The trip page or proposal shows the specific accommodations, transportation, tickets, activities, meals, or other services included in the option you are reviewing.

Do I need to book flights?+

Check the specific trip or proposal. Flights may be included, offered separately, or added to a custom request depending on the experience you are booking.

What's your cancellation policy?+

Full refund if you cancel within 24 hours of booking. After 24 hours, deposits are non-refundable but can be transferred to another traveler for a $50 fee. We strongly recommend travel insurance for peace of mind.

Can I transfer my spot to someone else?+

Yes! If you can't make the trip, you can transfer your reservation to another person for a $50 administrative fee. Just contact us at least 14 days before departure to process the transfer.

Do you offer travel insurance?+

We partner with travel insurance providers and highly recommend purchasing coverage. Insurance protects you against unexpected cancellations, medical emergencies, and travel disruptions. We'll provide options at booking.

What if I'm traveling solo?+

Solo travelers are welcome! Our prices are based on double occupancy, but we can arrange single room options (subject to availability and additional cost). Many solo travelers join our groups and make lifelong friends.

Can TRV plan travel for my group?+

Yes. Use Request Travel for a custom group trip and tell us what your group needs. TRV can build the proposal around the travelers, dates, services, and experience you request.

When is final payment due?+

The automatic monthly schedule shown before checkout pays your remaining balance down to $0 no later than 60 days before the trip departure date.
