TravelUp Reviews Summary

The company demonstrates a mixed reputation, with notable strengths in the ease of the booking process and competitive pricing, which many customers found straightforward and efficient. However, significant concerns arise around customer service, particularly regarding unresponsive support, issues with reservation confirmations, and difficulties in modifying bookings. Instances of billing discrepancies and perceived bait-and-switch tactics have contributed to a growing sentiment of frustration among users. While some customers report positive interactions with staff, the overall trend indicates a need for improved communication and reliability to enhance customer trust and satisfaction.

Absolutely terrible
October 27, 2022

Absolutely terrible. I was trying to book a room in Las Vegas with the wheelchair accessibility. I booked it checking all the boxes and leaving comments with my requirements for wheelchair accessible room. I followed all of the prompts to make sure that my booking was wheelchair accessible only to find out that after my booking that my request for a wheelchair accessible room was only a request and not a guarantee. As a consumer I am then at the mercy of your company and the hotel to hopefully have A wheelchair room ready for me when I arrive at my hotel? How is that possibly even an option for myself the consumer to feel any confidence in hoping that when I show up my friend in a wheelchair has a room that he can get his wheelchair in? This booking system is absolutely terrible for handicapped people to book. I am very unhappy.

Lowest of the Low - terrible company - AVOID!
October 24, 2022

Don't trust the positive reviews you read about TravelUp, they are the absolute worst travel agency I have ever experienced. Read the small print VERY carefully as they will include clauses in the booking agreement to make YOU liable to pay a significant administration fee for situations where the flight or holiday is cancelled by the provider (i. E. not from anything you did) by holding cash back from the 100% refund you are due and entitled to, even though it was them who failed to deliver the contract. In no other commercial transaction would this be acceptable and it's not enforceable, but they will try it and hope you don't challenge them. They tried to charge me £50 administration fee for a cancelled flight and I had to take action to recover the money. They have been taken to court by many travellers who have suffered this experience. Do not accept this behaviour, the easiest way is to avoid them at all costs and put them and their vile practices out of business.

Good afternoon,

We are very sorry to hear this.

As per our terms and conditions, which you have agreed to at the time of booking, we do charge an administration fee and any booking fees are also non-refundable. Unfortunately, we are unable to waive any of our administration fees.

We apologise for any inconvenience that may have been caused at this time.

Kind Regards
