Frequently asked questions
Everything you might want to know about how Find Travel Partner works — from getting started and staying safe to pricing and payments.
How do I find a travel partner?
Tell us your destination, dates, budget, interests and travel style — we match you with compatible, verified travelers heading the same way and notify you both. You can also ask Tripa, our AI assistant, to suggest partners for you instantly.
How does matching work?
We match on shared interests, destination, travel dates and cost preferences — in both directions. When you and another traveler are a good fit, you're both notified so either of you can start the conversation.
Can the AI assistant help plan my trip?
Yes! Tripa, our built-in AI travel assistant, recommends partners, builds itineraries, explains visas, suggests budgets, hotels and safety tips — and replies in your own language, 24/7. Just tap 'Chat with our assistant'.
What languages can I use?
Any major language — English, Bangla, Hindi, Arabic, Urdu, French, Spanish and many more. The AI assistant automatically detects your language and replies in the same one.
How does ID verification work?
Upload a passport, national ID or driving licence via our secure partner Didit. It's reviewed fast, and verified travelers get the blue badge — they rank higher and receive noticeably more matches. Your documents are never stored on our servers.
How do I split trip costs?
When you create a trip you pick a cost mode: split equally, or cover your partner's expenses as a treat. Both travelers agree before the trip is confirmed, so there are no surprises.
What can free vs Premium members do?
Free members can create a verified profile, browse travelers and trips, get matched, send partner requests, reply to messages and use 2 free AI trip plans. Premium unlocks messaging any traveler first, unlimited AI Trip Planner, posting to the community feed, advanced filters, priority in recommendations and seeing who's interested in you.
Is it safe to travel with someone I met here?
Every account verifies email and phone, and we encourage ID verification. You can report any message or profile and block anyone instantly — and your email and phone always stay private.
Is it free to start?
Yes — browsing, matching and creating your profile are free, and so is your first month of Premium. After that it's our discounted launch price. No commitment to begin.
Can I book hotels and flights here?
Yes - you can search and book hotels, flights, trains, car rentals, tours and travel eSIMs right from Find Travel Partner. Booking is completed securely on our trusted booking partner's site, and you keep all the usual confirmations and protections.
Do I pay extra by booking through your links?
No - you pay exactly the same price as booking directly. We may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you, which helps keep Find Travel Partner free to use.
Can I get an eSIM or travel data?
Yes - you can grab a travel eSIM from our booking page and get online the moment you land, in 150+ destinations, without swapping out your physical SIM.
What if I need to cancel a trip or booking?
Trips you create here can be edited or cancelled anytime from your profile. Hotel, flight and other bookings follow our booking partner's cancellation policy for the rate you chose - always check the conditions shown before you confirm.
