Common questions
How does this work?
You start the trip and pick a date. Share the private trip link with friends and they commit by saving a card on file. No one is charged anything today. Once at least 8 friends commit and TrovaTrip confirms the booking, the trip locks in and everyone's card is charged a 25% deposit. If at least 8 people don't commit before the window closes, all holds are released and no one is charged.
When am I actually charged?
Only if the trip confirms, meaning at least 8 people commit and TrovaTrip approves the booking. Until then, your card is saved but nothing is charged. Once the trip confirms, we capture a 25% deposit. The remaining balance is due 90 days before your departure date.
What if we don't get enough friends to commit?
If at least 8 people don't commit before the window closes, all card holds are released automatically. Nothing is charged and the trip simply does not happen.
Can I cancel after I commit?
Yes, anytime before the trip is confirmed you can cancel and your card hold is released immediately, no questions asked. After the trip is confirmed and your 25% deposit has been captured, our standard cancellation and refund policy applies based on how far out your departure is. See our refund policy for details.
Does the price change as more friends join?
No. The per-traveler price is set when the trip is created and stays the same for everyone. More friends joining doesn't lower (or raise) what anyone pays.
What if I want different dates than the group?
When you commit you pick which of the proposed dates work for you. If the group lands on a date you can't do, your hold is released and you're under no obligation.
Who's actually running the trip?
TrovaTrip handles the on-the-ground logistics — hotels, ground transport, guides, activities, and the vetted local operator (Green World Adventures for this one). Travelers book their own flights. We've run thousands of group trips across 80+ countries. Once your group locks in, we take over and you get a real human point of contact.
Can I customize the trip?
Custom trips are available for groups of 15 or more. Because customization involves coordinating with local operators, hotels, and guides, it requires close collaboration with our team. If your group is 15+, and a dedicated account manager will work with you on the details.
