How much does it cost?
Nothing. VacayMatch is free, with no sign-up and no credit card. You pay only for the vacation itself, on the airline's, hotel's or booking site's own page, at the price it shows. The booking site pays us a referral fee when you book through a link we sent; your price is the same either way.
Why not just search Google Flights or Expedia myself?
You can, and many people do, with fourteen tabs open at 10 PM. VacayMatch checks all of them for you, plus the airlines and hotels themselves and which country the room is cheapest to book from, and shows the option that fits you at the lowest all-in price it found. Stop getting nickel-and-dimed.
Is it a real person?
No. VacayMatch is an AI assistant and says so in its first message. It is good at searching, comparing and remembering what you told it, and it will tell you when it is not sure. A person reads every suggestion and complaint; write HUMAN in the chat or email hello@matchofesh.com.
Do prices include taxes and fees?
Always. Every price VacayMatch shows is the all-in amount as quoted by the booking site when it checked: taxes and every mandatory fee, resort and destination fees included. If a site shows a partial price and adds fees only at checkout, VacayMatch works out the full amount before showing it. Prices change, so the binding price is the one on the booking site when you book.
Rental cars, cruises, Disney?
Rental cars yes: say you need one and VacayMatch compares them and adds the car to the options at an all-in price. Cruises and theme-park tickets it can plan around and point you to, but it does not price cabins or park tickets itself; it tells you that and where to book.
Are you a travel agency?
No. VacayMatch compares, recommends and refers. Booking, payment, tickets, changes and service are handled by the airline, hotel or booking site under its terms. Details in the terms of service.
What happens to my data?
Only what is needed to help is kept: your phone number, the messages and the trip details you shared. You can ask to see or delete everything at any time, on WhatsApp or by email. VacayMatch never sells your data. See the privacy policy.
How does booking "from another country" work?
You book on the same site with the same account; only your browsing goes through a server in the cheaper country, using a VPN service. VacayMatch explains the steps when it matters, says up front how much it saves, and tells you the catches (currency, card fees, support language, resident-only rates to skip). If the US is already cheapest, there is nothing to do, and that is what you will hear.
When does VacayMatch message me on its own?
Only after you say yes, and only about your own trip: a price alert you asked for, a reminder before you fly, a check on whether you booked, tips before and after landing. Messages go out between 9 AM and 8 PM your time. Reply STOP and they end.
