Frequently Asked Questions

General
  • Why should I share my trip?
    First of all... To share your precious memories with friends or people looking for inspiring trips. But besides that, it is incredibly easy to make money by sharing your trips. When someone books your trip and we can verify that, you will be payed $5 straight into your account. Easy as that.
  • Why book a trip?
    Planning your own trip sounds pretty romantic. But be honest... Do you really enjoy crawling the internet, looking for the best places and spots to go to? Why not borrow these routes and plans from someone who has been there and who can tell you the exact do's and dont's? Exactly. That's why you should use Trollie. And to help the publisher make money, of course!
  • How are estimated prices calculated?
    To give an indication of the costs of a trip, an estimated price is shown for each trip. These estimates include a 3 stars stay (or higher) for each night during the trip. It also includes all flights during the trip, except for the flights from and back to home. For each day a car is needed, an average car rental price is added. All other transfers are not taken into account when calculating the minimum price of a trip.
Bookings
  • How do I book a trip?
    When you find that one trip you've been looking for, open the trip-page. Click the 'Add to my bookings' button, to add the trip to My bookings. You will be guided through the whole booking process, giving you the complete freedom to choose the departure date, airplane carriers and stays during your trip.

  • How is my trip ranked in search results?
    When searching for trips, the search results are ranked by a special ranking algorithm. The higher your trips rank, the higher the chance to score a booking. Of course, we're not going to tell you all of our secrets. When composing your trip, try to fill it for 100%. Of course, ratings for your trips will play an important role, too. It's quality that matters.

    For each booked trip, you receive a $5 fee. Clear as that.
