FAQ

WHY DO WE NEED A TRAVEL AGENT?
Under EU regulation and Irish law: all money taken for travel  must be protected by a bond for 4%-100% of expected turnover every year. Those organizing trips abroad must carry a travel agent licence issued yearly by the Commission for Aviation Regulation in Ireland.
 
HOW IS TRAVEL MONEY PROTECTED?
Capture Travel is a bonded travel agent, meaning that we take full responsibility for  all services (airlines, accommodation, transfers, activities). If a supplier was to fail on a group trip, we will have it sorted immediately with alternative arrangements at no extra charge. If there is a natural disaster or catastrophe abroad, your students are covered and it's up to us to get them home. With our payment systems, students pay Capture Travel directly online or in person. That means group leaders do not have to collect or carry large sums of cash collected from their peers.  In this way, we secure all travel money that we receive and there's no chance of theft or an individual running off with thousands of euro.


WHY ARE YOU OFFERING THIS SERVICE?
Capture Travel is dedicated to the student experience in Ireland. 
When we were in college, we didn't even know of the laws surrounding group travel. Now that we do, we realize how close we came to prosecution when we organized our university club and society group trips abroad without a travel agent licence! Unlike our competitors, Capture Travel is dedicated to student experiences and hassle-free organization, we have 24/7 support lines and work closely with students to design their perfect trips abroad.

 

WHO IS ON THE TEAM?

Students will be trained in all things travel by Capture Travel representatives who have experience in acting as guides for group trips abroad. They will oftentimes also be the people dealing with their trip and organizing their full itinerary. A great consequence of group training is that students feel more relaxed with our reps, and so are more likely to feel easier about asking questions and getting advise before their trip or during it.
 

CAN STUDENTS AVAIL OF THE PROGRAM TWICE?
If a student leader would like to take part in another trip covered by Capture Travel, they can still avail of all the supports provided in the student program including a higher percentage of 25% off their ticket price. For every other trip organized by a student who has already completed group training, they will receive 5% more off each trip.  All students who travel with Capture Travel are covered under our liability insurance. Travel insurance is not included in our standard packages but can be added on up to the day of
travel.

 

HOW MANY STUDENTS CAN TAKE PART?
In the Capture Travel Student Leadership Program, we give one student allocation for every 15 students travelling. If there are 18 students going on a trip, one space is offered. If there are
30 students going abroad, 2 spaces are offered. Depending on the student groups and their leaders, we may offer more allocations. 

 

HOW MUCH IS A TRIP PER PERSON? 
Capture Travel offers the most affordable packages and rates to student groups. No other travel agency in Ireland is as dedicated to providing students the best in trips in and outside of Ireland. Because of discounts given to us from our industry partners, we can usually match the price of students doing it by themselves.
