Frequently Asked Questions

Is this free?

Yes. Creating an account, tracking holidays, and inviting travellers is free.

Does Holiday Tracker actually handle my money?

No. It's a bookkeeping tool — it tracks who owes what and who's recorded as having paid. Real payments still happen however your group already does it (bank transfer, cash, another app). Holiday Tracker never sees your card or bank details because it never touches them.

How does splitting costs work?

Set a total cost and the number of travellers, and it works out an even share automatically — you can then adjust individual amounts (say, a discount for a child, or a couple sharing a room). Each payment milestone (deposit, instalments, final balance) shows every traveller's share of that specific payment too.

What happens if someone drops out?

Removing a traveller redistributes what they owed evenly across whoever's left, so the group still covers the full cost instead of being left short.

Can I use a currency other than GBP?

Yes — GBP, USD, EUR, AUD, and CAD are supported per holiday.

Do the people I invite need to already have an account?

No. Invite by email or shareable link — they can create an account (or sign in if they already have one) as part of accepting the invite.

Can I delete my account?

Yes, from My Account. If you own a holiday that other travellers are also on, that needs to be reassigned or deleted first so their shared trip data isn't lost.

Who can see my holidays?

Only you and whoever you've explicitly invited to a specific holiday. There's no directory of other users, and holiday owners can't browse or see anyone outside the people on their own holiday.
