FAQs
JoinMyTrip offers a platform on which everyone can offer, discover or participate in individual trips with other travellers. In other words: We connect travelers and enable them to discover the world in an authentic way.
Traveling in a group has so much to offer: from new friendships and lots of fun, to simply having someone to rely on. Not convinced? Then you should continue reading...
1. Together you experience more and can share your experiences
In a group, you simply experience and laugh more. But the best part is being able to remember and relive the best moments together with your fellow travelers - this way the trip stays in your memory even longer. Usually you start your journey with a group of strangers and return with friends.
2. You see the bigger picture
Where else can you meet such open-minded people with completely different backgrounds and experiences? The more diverse your TripMates are, the more interesting your trip is going to be. Everyone has something to contribute to an exciting story. In most groups there will be solo travelers, couples and friends who all team up so you always feel comfortable no matter what.
3. Share costs and save
You can share a room with a TripMate, you can rent a car or even hire a private tour guide - no matter what you do, the costs will be lower when they can be shared.
4. Sit back and relax or earn money with your trip
Why would everyone have to take care of transport, accommodation, sightseeing and so on independently? It's much easier when only one person undertakes these tasks - that's what TripLeaders are for. As a TripMate you don't have to worry about transport and accommodation. If the TripLeader also offers a sightseeing program, you pay a little more, but have absolutely nothing to worry about for your trip.
5. Finally - an individual trip that can be experienced in a group
Unlike with normal group tours, JoinMyTrip gives you the freedom and space you need! No annoying tour guide that drags you from one shop to the next or has a strict 24 hour program for the day. With JoinMyTrip, everyone has the desired freedom but also the advantages of travelling in a group!
6. You are not alone
Walking alone through a foreign city at night? Not always a good idea. It's a much better feeling walking around with a group of friends and arriving at the hostel together.
If these 6 points haven't convinced you yet - all we can say is: give it a try!

When you have found your dream trip, you can simply click on the "Request Now" button and write a short message to your TripLeader with some information about you and any questions you might have. He can then either ask you questions to get to know you better or confirm you directly. Once he has confirmed your request, you pay the TripLeader 20% of the trip price to reserve your place on the trip.
If a TripLeader gets sick or is otherwise prevented from coming, this is first and foremost not at all nice for him. We are sure that he would like to start the trip as much as you do - if not even more. We, at JoinMyTrip, will do everything we can to find a suitable replacement.
If our search is unsuccessful, we will check if a team member of JoinMyTrip travels with your group as a TripLeader. After all, we love what we do - travelling!
If all else fails, we will support you as a group in such a way that you can travel without a TripLeader. We will organize accommodation, directions, suggestions for activities etc. This includes that we pay you the local SIM card so that you can always reach us.
Of course there is also the possibility to cancel the trip. Please see section "Cancellation Policy". Of course we will support you as best as we can and make the process as easy as possible.
