There are numerous travel companies and travel agents that you can contact to request travel packages.
TripRupee charges a small fee to compare trip quotes and see if they can help you save money. This fee depends on how much the whole package costs, but it is not much. If you are among the first 5,000 customers, the fee to compare trip quotes will be free.
A high-level number is the overall price summary which shows how much money clients saved and other crucial detail. For example, suppose a client named Mr. Jack receives a trip quote from a travel company called XYZ Holidays for INR 80,000. A high-level summary after comparing trip quotes would include the following details:
- Quote Value from XYZ Holidays: INR 80,000
- Price after Quote Comparison of XYZ Holidays: INR 60,000
- Calculation Logic: INR 80,000 - INR 60,000 = INR 20,000
- Money Saved: INR 20,000"
If clients provide all the information we need at the beginning, we will give them high level numbers within 4-24 business hours.
You pay TripRupee for the first payment, which includes their quote comparison and trusted partner fees. Then, you pay the remaining balance to the trusted partners directly.
It depends on how early you book and how our partners handle payments.
- If you book more than 45 days in advance, most partners take 25% for the package and 100% for flights.
- For bookings made 29-44 days before, it's usually 50% for the package and 100% for flights.
- For bookings made one to 29 days before, it's 100% for both the package and flights.
No, both the amount gets forfeited if you decide not to book with trusted partner because of any reasons.
Excellent question, TripRupee never overcommits to consumers. The travel industry has a volatile nature. For example, flight fares are dynamic and increase or decrease over time. Hotel room inventory gets sold out quickly during peak seasons and visa appointment slots may be subject to delays, among other factors. We request that clients make quick payments to trusted partners to avoid discomfort. The sooner payments are made, the better the possibilities we have of cutting these risks. TripRupee conducts strict sanity checks before payments are made and takes the following steps:
- Rechecks flight fares and airline availability
- Rechecks hotel availability
- Rechecks visa appointments
- Gives early warning regarding possible airfare hikes for bookings that include flights, using our own GDS to forecast airline prices
- Our partners are given the option to hold airline PNR, prices, and seats, with most airlines allowing this facility in their GDS.
- If seats can be held, TripRupee’s partners can hold flights with a price lock assurance.
- If booking well in advance, TripRupee’s partners have agreed to book hotels if there are price and room availability lock options available, cutting the possibility of hotels getting sold out
- In the event of flight fares abruptly skyrocketing and consumers not having the budget for it, TripRupee will refund quote comparison fees and travel partner fees.
- These situations are handled on a case-by-case basis as TripRupee evaluates the genuineness of the cases and supports clients with refunds
- It is an exception to our non-refundable payment policies, and consumers should not intentionally misuse this flexibility
