How booking works
Short version: we help you plan and arrange your trip, you approve everything, and you pay the travel provider directly. RoamPlanned never handles payment for your travel.
1. Send a request
Start with the Trip Planner or one of our sample itineraries, then send a request or use Book this package on any itinerary. Tell us your dates or month, departure city, travelers and comfort level. No account and no payment are needed.
2. We confirm availability and price
We check live availability with established travel providers (airlines, hotels and resorts, cruise lines, tour operators and transfer companies) and reply by email with your options and an all-in price, including taxes and the mandatory fees we can see. Nothing is booked at this stage.
3. You book through a secure booking link
When you're happy, we send a secure booking link. You review the final details and pay through that secure checkout, not on this website and never by email. You then receive the booking confirmation from the provider.
4. Travel, with help if plans change
Your booking follows the provider's terms, including cancellations, changes and refunds. Keep your confirmation handy. If something changes before or during your trip, see cancellations and help or email us.
Pricing, deposits and cancellations
- All-in quotes. We show the total trip price, per person and for your group, with taxes and the mandatory fees we can see included, and we list anything paid separately (such as some resort fees, local tourist taxes or checked bags).
- Deposits. Many hotels, resorts, cruise lines and tour operators offer a deposit with the balance due before departure. Options vary by supplier, and we confirm them before you book.
- Cancellations and changes. Each supplier sets its own policy. You'll see the cancellation deadlines and any fees in writing before you commit.
- Holds. Prices can change until a booking is made. Some suppliers allow a short courtesy hold and many airfares can't be held, so we'll tell you what's possible.
- Traveler details. We only ask for full traveler names and passport details once you're ready to book.
Why there's no payment on our site
Payment happens only through the secure booking link for your trip, so your card details are handled by a secure checkout and never typed into this website or sent by email. We never ask for card details by email or phone message.
How we're paid
Some travel partners pay us a commission when you book through us. It doesn't add to your price. See our affiliate disclosure.
