SpareFare is now SpareHolidays
SpareFare was the platform's previous name. The marketplace has rebranded to SpareHolidays so the name reflects the full range of eligible resale bookings travellers can buy and sell, from flights and hotels to vouchers, car rentals, trains, buses, cruises, and vacation packages.
About SpareHolidays
The trusted marketplace for unused travel bookings
Our Mission
Every year, billions of dollars in travel bookings go to waste — non-refundable hotels, expiring vouchers, unused car rentals. SpareHolidays gives these bookings a second life. Sellers recover value from trips they can't take. Buyers save up to 60% on verified travel deals. Every transaction is protected by escrow, and every seller is ID-verified.
What We Stand For
Trust & Transparency
Fees are shown upfront on every listing — never hidden at checkout. Seller trust scores are visible, combining ID verification, transaction history, and response time.
Escrow Protection
Buyer payments are held in escrow until they confirm receipt of the booking transfer. If something goes wrong, you're covered.
Community First
We built SpareHolidays for travelers, not middlemen. Sellers list for free. Buyers pay a transparent tiered fee starting at 5%. No hidden markups, no bait-and-switch.
Why SpareHolidays?
Previous travel resale platforms failed because they lacked trust infrastructure. No escrow, no ID verification, no fraud detection. SpareHolidays was built from the ground up with safety first — AI-powered moderation, Stripe-backed escrow, composite trust scores, and real-time negotiation.
