How SpareHolidays Works
For sellers
Your booking, protected end-to-end
Free to list, paid fast, and covered if a buyer tries anything funny.
Free to List
Listing is always free. We only charge the buyer — your asking price is yours to keep.
Paid in ~2 Days
Once the buyer confirms the transfer, Stripe Connect releases your payout in about 2 business days.
Dispute Protected
Evidence-backed dispute process. Covered chargebacks on delivered bookings, so you keep your payout.
Forward your booking — we build the listing for you.
Attach the original confirmation from your provider — any travel type. Our AI reads the attachment and builds your draft; you add your prices and confirm it's transferable, then approve before it goes live.
Send it from your registered email, attach your booking confirmation, and tell us your prices — we build the rest.
Only forward booking confirmations that are yours to sell.
- When you forward, our AI reads the email and attachments to build your draft listing — a person reviews it before it ever goes live.
- We keep only the booking details we need and delete the original email shortly after.
- We automatically strip out anyone else's personal information.
Frequently asked questions
What is SpareHolidays?+
SpareHolidays is a marketplace where travellers resell trips they can no longer use — flights, hotel bookings, vouchers, train and bus tickets, car rentals, cruises and full holiday packages — to other travellers at a discount. The original traveller recovers part of what they paid, and the buyer gets a cheaper trip. Think of it as a StubHub for travel.
Is it safe to buy travel from someone else on SpareHolidays?+
Yes. Your payment is held in Stripe escrow and only released to the seller after you confirm the booking was transferred into your name. Every seller is identity-verified through Stripe before they can list, every listing is checked by AI moderation, and you have a 7-day dispute window after completion. If the seller never transfers the booking, you are refunded.
How much can I save buying travel on SpareHolidays?+
Discounts vary by listing, but because sellers are recovering money on a trip they would otherwise lose entirely, prices are commonly 30–60% below the original retail price. Every fee is shown upfront on the listing card — there are no hidden charges added at checkout.
What does it cost to buy or sell?+
Listing is completely free for sellers. Buyers pay a transparent, tiered commission shown before purchase — 10% under €500, 8% up to €1,500, 6% up to €3,000, and 5% above. Sellers keep the full agreed price.
What happens after I pay — how do I get the booking?+
After you pay, your money sits safely in escrow while the seller transfers the booking to you through the airline, hotel or provider's official name-change process. Once you confirm you've received it, the payment is released to the seller. If you don't confirm within 72 hours of the travel date, it auto-releases — and if anything goes wrong, the dispute window protects you.
