Creating a profile and messaging TripLeaders is completely free for TripMates. As soon as you have found the right Trip, you contact the TripLeader. When they have confirmed your spot on the trip, you pay them to cover the price of the trip. The first payment is for 20% of the price and shortly before departure you pay the remaining 80%. The price includes the cost of transport and accommodation at your destination, not transportation to the starting and end points of the trip. Depending on the trip, local activities may also be included in the price. The exact costs can be listed in the description of the trip. Otherwise, just ask your TripLeader directly. They'll be happy to help!

If you can't find your dream trip, think about offering a trip as a TripLeader yourself. We are happy to support you with the planning and the organization. Simply message us on Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp or via e-mail at support@joinmytrip.com.

When you've found a trip you like, send a request to the TripLeader. You can ask questions when you ask to join the trip. The TripLeader will answer all your questions before accepting you as a TripMate.

When you have found your dream trip, simply click on the "Join Trip" button and write a short message to your TripLeader with some information about you and any questions you might have. They will ask you questions to get to know you better, answer yours or confirm you directly. Once they have confirmed your request, you pay the TripLeader 20% of the price of the trip, which reserves your place on the trip. 

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

As soon as your TripLeader has confirmed you, a request for a deposit of 20% of the price of the trip will automatically be sent to you if you have not paid already.

The price quoted by the TripLeader 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 TripLeader directly. They'll be happy to help!

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

No, JoinMyTrip doesn't arrange trips. We are a booking platform that allows everyone to offer and join group trips.

We are happy to support TripLeaders with the planning and organization of their trips but, at the end of the day, it’s the TripLeader's trip. As a TripMate, you travel with your TripLeader, not with JoinMyTrip.

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

As with any group trip, the TripLeader 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 TripLeader directly.

If a TripLeader 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 JoinMyTrip, will do everything we can to find a suitable replacement.

If our search is unsuccessful, we will see if a team member of JoinMyTrip can travel with your group as a TripLeader. After all, we love what we do -- traveling! 

If all else fails, we will take on as many TripLeader 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. 

Safety is our top priority.

Every TripLeader has to verify their phone number and identity with us by uploading an ID or passport. Plus, we screen each TripLeader (see FAQ "Who can become a TripLeader"), check each trip individually before it goes online and are in direct contact with the TripLeaders.

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.

Please write an email to support@joinmytrip.com and inform your TripLeader. Please note the Cancelation Policy.

 You may find our full Cancelation Policy here.

Quite simply, paying for the trip happens via our platform. This allows you to pay securely with credit card (Visa or MasterCard), or Giropay.

If booking more than 30 days before the trip departure you can choose to pay only 20% as a deposit. The remaining 80% is due 30 days before the departure date, but you may choose to pay sooner.
