Pros and cons
Pros
- flights, rail and car rental covers flights, rail, car rental, transfers, hotels, cruise, tours, packages and lounges, a wider spread than packages, tours and cruise
- No booking fee; all-in-one price means nothing is added on top of the quoted trip, which keeps a shared group budget predictable
- email, phone and help centre gives you email, phone and a help centre, so a disruption can be sorted by phone
- 20% of booking amount up to 45 days before states the amount returned and the notice needed, so the deadline is clear before a large sum is committed
- There is a mobile app, so confirmations and bookings travel with the group instead of sitting in email threads
Cons
- 20% of booking amount up to 45 days before means a change of plan still costs a slice of the booking rather than the full amount
- email, phone and help centre has no live chat, so a quick question waits for email or the help centre instead of an instant reply
- flights, rail and car rental stops short of visa help, which packages, tours and cruise covers
Who it suits
- Families and groups building a single trip out of several legs
- Travellers who want the total trip price settled at booking
- People who would rather sort a disruption by phone than by email
Who should look elsewhere
- Travellers who need visa paperwork arranged, because Intrepid Travel lists visas in packages, tours and cruise
- Anyone anchoring a car hire and hotel booking to airline perks, since flights, hotels and tours adds parking and lounges to the core trip
Fees and cancellation
Tourlane charges No booking fee; all-in-one price, so the price quoted for a trip is the price paid, with nothing layered on at checkout. That suits a group where several people share costs and the total has to be settled at once. Changes are not cost free. 20% of booking amount up to 45 days before sets out how much of the booking comes back and how far ahead the decision has to be made, which is worth reading before committing a large sum. The same terms sit behind date changes, so a group locking in dates should check the deadline early and plan around it.
What you can book
A single account handles flights, rail and car rental. The flight, the rail leg, a car at the destination, the transfer from the airport, the hotel, a cruise, excursions and lounge access can all sit inside a single itinerary rather than being stitched together from separate bookings. For a group, that is the practical point. Everyone follows the same set of arrangements, and a change to a single leg is handled by the same team. A mobile app is available, so confirmations, times and bookings can be carried on the trip instead of living in email threads.
Who runs it
The company behind the site is Tourlane Inc., based in the United States. It has been trading since 2016, so it is an established operator rather than a recent arrival. Support runs on email, phone and help centre. A phone channel matters for travel specifically, because a missed connection or a cancelled leg does not wait for email, while a help centre handles the routine questions in the meantime. If a booking goes wrong on the ground, the counterparty is an incorporated entity in US rather than an anonymous marketplace front.

Frequently asked questions
Does Tourlane charge a booking fee on top of the trip price?+
No add-on. No booking fee; all-in-one price is the short answer: nothing is layered on at checkout, so the quoted trip total is the total. That makes it easier to split costs fairly when a group is paying from a shared pot.
What happens to my money if I need to cancel?+
20% of booking amount up to 45 days before sets out how much of the booking comes back and, crucially, how far ahead of departure the decision has to be made. Read that notice before committing a large sum, because acting later leaves less of the booking amount with you.
Can I book the whole trip in a single place?+
That is the core of the service. flights, rail and car rental covers flights, rail, car rental, transfers, hotels, cruise, tours, packages and lounges, so a group can build the full journey into a single itinerary with a single team behind it.
How do I get help if a flight or train is disrupted?+
Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so you can call as well as email. For a missed connection on the ground, the phone channel is the faster route than waiting for a written reply.
Is there an app for my itinerary and bookings?+
There is a mobile app, so confirmations, times and bookings for flights, rail and car rental can travel with the group instead of sitting in email threads. For a group leader it is a practical way to keep everyone pointed at the same plan.
Which legal entity would I be dealing with?+
The site is operated by Tourlane Inc., based in the United States. If a booking goes wrong, the counterparty is an incorporated company rather than an anonymous marketplace front, and the terms and conditions sit under the same named entity.
How long has Tourlane been trading?+
It has been trading since 2016, which makes it an established operator in family and group travel rather than a recent arrival. That matters more than usual when a single booking ties up a large sum.
