Pricing transparency

Travel planning fee examples

If Trip Faro handles your trip planning directly, we charge a 20% planning fee. Supplier commissions or discounts can reduce that fee. If another specialist is a better fit, we may refer you and explain their pricing model separately.

Why this stays traveler-first

1. Fit comes first

Recommendations are based on your goals, not just payout size.

2. Fee math is clear

If supplier value applies, we use it to offset your planning fee.

3. You keep control

You see the options and decide what fits your trip best.
