“Only company with no hidden extras”

★★★★★

written by Riley117 on 09/01/2024

Most sites like this offer very similar rates. Our trip to vegas was within £50 of each other wherever we looked. Travel republic stood out as it was the only one to include baggage. No issues with trip or communication, a faultless experience from TR side of things

Booking holiday with travel Republic was easy and stright forward. The only thing I will say,after we print the bording pass the barcode is not scanned easly. It needs to improve for quick access at the airport.

“Travel Repulic overview is not accurrate. AIR...”

★★☆☆☆

written by JGM1954 on 16/09/2023

Travel Repulic overview is not accurrate. AIR CONDITIONING is NOT FREE (£5 per night), so I will expect a refund off my next holiday.NO GYM as stated. Definately not a 3 star venue, 2.5 is more like it.NO Sunbed Cusions. Staff are really good. I suggest that TR should reveiw their overveiw and get it accurate and alter the price accordingly.Full review all ready sent

“Good value and great way of showing flight options ”

★★★★★

written by Helenmarie383 on 12/09/2023

Seem cheaper for the same holiday elsewhere. I like the way they show the flight details and how much cheaper/dearer alternative flights would be. I did have an issue that I arrived 7am to my hotel and they said the room was not available until midday (luckily they had another room available that solved the problem). Might be worth checking this issue if you arrive after midnight but before midday

“MONEY LOST - Aug23 Holiday Cancelled (due to NATS issue)”

★☆☆☆☆

written by UlisesRollins17 on 31/08/2023

My Travel Republic 3k+ family package holiday to Cyprus was cancelled due to the August 23 Air Traffic Control meltdown. As they are now only ATOL registered and not ABTA like they used to be, I have lost a great deal of AI hotel money (2k+) and feel utterly dismayed, as they only agreed to refunding the flight and transfer. I will never risk booking through them again. They also did not contact me and I had to chase them - with difficulty. In future, I will opt only for ABTA registered travel agencies. Their agent told me prior to booking that I would be fully covered when I cautiously made enquiries. It now appears he was only referring to companies dissolving/going bust through ATOL. How naive of me. Now I know better.

“Always delivers a great holiday!”

★★★★★

written by Lujadi on 15/08/2023

We have booked several holidays through Travel Republic now and have never been disappointed. The quality of the accommodation has always been excellent and good value too. They are responsive to any queries before the holiday and allow you to space out payments rather than having to pay in one go.

“Excellent company highly recommend”

★★★★★

written by grantsmorrison on 15/08/2023

This is my first time using travel republic and I found the experience excellent and seamless. The price of my holiday changed after I booked it and they changed the booking to match the lower price no problem with no penalty. What's great about this company is I only needed to pay my full balance 4 weeks before my departure date. I highly recommend booking a holiday with travel republic.

“Problems sorted”

★★★★★

written by Mallywat on 18/06/2023

Booked at a reasonable price easily and efficiently with all the information links and documents you require emailed to you. Having booked and then struggled to check in online for our flights using my PC or a new app on my mobile I became a little worried there was a problem. Reboots made no difference Even signing in to TR or Easy Jet stopped working for a while. This sorted itself out the next day when all devices inexplicably started working correctly. I alerted TR to my problem. They emailed me further instructions and tried to phone me but by this time all was well with the world. Cheaper car parking would be a big incentive at the airports, Manchester airport, in particular, seems overly expensive at the moment.

I do not believe they have a standard form. Go to their "contact us" or FAQ section of their website. In my experience you will not get a satisfactory resolution and this service, or lack of service, should be factored into your decision making when booking with them. Unless you are prepared to use small claims or other legal process there is minimal resolution or escalation

No, my holiday was in Sicily. But beware that the ATOL cover is far more limited than you might expect. In my case, I got no support from Travel Republic over pricy, more or less compulsory, add-ons when I picked up a hire car that I paid for through Travel Republic under the impression that it was all-inclusive. It seems there's a loophole where ATOL covers aspects that Travel Republic directly provides but other aspects are not covered, where TR acts as an agent, not a provider. I've no idea how you'd know what was covered. So, beware what you buy from or through TR.

Whilst on a driving holiday in Sicily I was contacted by my daughters in the UK informing me that a hotel had apparent building issues and that we would need alternative accommodation. Having this kind of hassle whilst on holiday and expected to resolve on pay as you go phones especially when Travel Republic have an automated phone queuing system was "not fun" The lesson I learned is that they are only a booking agent, if you have a problem you have to deal directly with the hotel (this I found out afterwards, is in their terms and conditions). Booking.com are the same. My advice to avoid this is to use a larger company and use price match to get Travel Republic rates.

You can book one from the arrivals lounge at the airport, although we booked it online. Our flight arrived late at night and the coach took about 1.5-2 hours to get to Praya de Rocha, it goes all around the houses and as its dark there is nothing to look at. It was relatively inexpensive, but slow. The following year we hired a car. This didn't cost a great deal more, the journey was about 45 mins and we had the car for the week. (good fuel usage policy as well)

I booked my shuttle bus through Travel Republic. I have used this service twice and it is very efficient. The bus companies were called Green Bus and A2B. I believe A2B have the concession for the whole of Faro Airport. In October 2013 I travelled to Ferragudo with A2B and their office was positioned at the far end on the right as you walk into the arrivals lounge after baggage collection. We travelled to our destination in a private car with one other couple but on our return it was a 6/8 seater minibus. Our previous visit had been to Olus D'Agua near Albufeira and was by minibus in both directions. Hope this is helpful.

If you want a shuttle bus then use resort hoppa not A2B. However be prepared to wait at arrivals for up to 45 mins. It will take about 2 hours. The best option is a private transfer. A bit more expensive but does go direct. I always use private transfer after nearly missing a flight back due to having to wait at each hotel for other pick ups.

I have booked with TR a couple 2 or 3 times, the last one being a holiday to Minorca in October, we booked a week on a self catering basis and we had booked and paid. We were going for a specific reason and it was out of season over there and a couple of weeks before we went we were informed the apartment owner had decided to close early and our apartment was no longer available. T.R sorted us out a 4 * hotel on a B&B basis, they gave us a couple of options and the hotel we went for was excellent, and a lot for expensive that the s/catering money we had paid. So, in summary, the dealings I have had with T.R would encourage me to use them again, I used then initially on the recommendation of a friend and I have be delighted with their service.

There are no guarantees on the Internet, ever, and I'd always consider paying by credit card, not debit card, as that gives you a way of reclaiming lost money. But to answer your specific question, Travel Republic have been around for years; I use them several times a year and have never had a problem or felt unsafe. Many hundreds of thousands - if not millions - of people have used their service; they have trading relationships with all the major companies in the travel industry. While they may not always provide a perfect holiday, I've never heard accusations of NOT being as safe as houses. Also, if you Google "travel republic reviews" you'll see what others have said about them.

We travelled to London for a city break through Travelrepublic about 6 months ago and we could not have been happier with the service. It was a very safe and secure way to book, and they took care of every detail. I don't have experience of booking a longer holidsy through the company, but they were certainly very efficient with what they did for us. I was also able to speak to someone over the phone to go over finer details of the trip, so that was also quite reassuring, as it can sometimes feel like a leap of faith when you are just clicking buttons!

You don't. Booking with Travel Republic is a risk. My last experience was being left in a Rome hotel lobby without a reservation; a reservation I booked through travel republic. Using their helpline was no use either - they said they would sort the booking out & then went home for the weekend without sorting anything. Managed to book & pay for another room myself - lucky there was a vacancy. Took me 6 months of them claiming no responsibility to get a refund. TR are agents only & seemingly claim no responsibility for any errors or foul ups. USE THEM AT YOUR RISK.

You are ATOL protected. Everything is done via Internet and email so the prices are good. If you are comfortable using Internet and email then you will be fine. If you want to take the 'belt and braces' approach, then use your credit card to pay. You have to pay an extra 2.5% (if I remember correctly) to pay using your credit card but you'll enjoy the extra protection it affords (payment needs to be over £100.00 to get the credit card protection by the way). I was a bit wary the first time too but I would happily use them again.

I have booked with Travel republic a few times, and have never had any issues using them. All documents are emailed to you.Very professional service, and would not hesitate to use them again. I last booked with them in September 2013, and I was very happy with the service, they are also offer very competitive prices.

Travelrepublic are a well established and reputable on-line travel company.i had an issue 4 years ago when a no-frills airline called kiss flights went bust and travelrepublic sent me a text alert at work,thus enabling me to rebook flights before prices went through the roof.they were most helpful in making a claim for a refund.most companies nowadays charge a small fee,usually £5 for atol protection.they are not always the cheapest,but certainly competitive and most reliable.

great service,beats most other sites operators i have tried over the last few years.ideal if you are flexible in your dates as you can choose the best rate for flights.Download all the vouchers you need depending on whether you just book flight,hotel or the complete package including parking and transfers.will be using them again this May,have only had a small problem concerning using a debit card which for whatever reason the wemsite couldnt accept so ended up using credit card with credit charge applied.Would recommend them as i have already done with friends.

I booked 1 night at a Holiday Inn in Eastleigh last year. They were below the Holiday Inn site so when I checked with them they couldn't/wouldn't match it so I took a chance and booked with them. No problems and can recommend them

I have booked holidays through TravelRepublic a few times and have always found them to be very reliable. Your holiday is also protected as they are members of ABTA and ATOL. I have been very happy with TravelRepublic and will use them again in future.

I have used Travel Republic for many years now and they have always been most efficient and I have never had the slightest problem. I even booked an hotel in Turkey last September 2013 at a fantastically low price and it worked beautifully.

no problems at all, even when i had problems with my flight provider it was all sorted out really quickly, the vouchers were easy to understand and everything matched up at the other end, accomodation, transfers etc. They also send timely reminders for due dates to pay which is helpful and everything is booked and confirmed at more or less the same time.

If anything goes wrong with your booking Travel Republic will not help you, they refuse to take any responsibility. I had this experience with them last year. If you have a problem with any part of the booking they will tell you to sort it yourself as they only act as agents

It was a safe as houses for us, online it said our documents would be emailed within a week or so, but in fact they arrived within seconds, it was that fast - from the moment I pressed "pay" to having all my travel documents was 5 minutes (that's the time it took for me to print them!). Bite the bullet - go with it - they are safe and do know what they are doing.

I have used travel republic 4 times never had a problem and now I wouldn't think of using another company, everything went as planned Docs emailed on time. only advice I can give is to chose your hotel and if booking a flight make sure you have read and double checked your details but I have never had a problem

Do NOT touch this Company with you hard earned money. There is a litany of complaints against Travel Republic, on various travel forums on the internet, look these up for yourself, I wish I had. They phoned me and left an answerphone message at 5.20PM the night before we were due to fly. When I received the message their office was closed and their website "down". They had changed our chosen accomodation to an alternative that had been described as a "Glorified Hostel" in travel reviews. We lost £800 in flight and other expenses and they virtually laughed at us when we asked for some refund. To my horror, I then read reviews that made the same complaint about them over and over, too many to be a coincidence. They were dismissive and rude on the telephone and their final words were, "Read the small print and go ahead and sue". I have made many reviews of holidays on various sites and I always try to be measured and look at both sides of the argument, however my honest advice to you and any others is DON'T TOUCH TRAVEL REPUBLIC..! You can research them yourself on the internet if you don't want to take my advice.

I use travel republic for accommodation at least twice each year and have always found them very reliable . the booking process is simple and when I once made an error with an online booking the problem was quickly sorted out by a very helpful lady over the phone . I would never hesitate to use them

Booking flights and insurance are OK and comparatively good prices, e.g. our Ryanair flights were the same price had we bought them directly with Ryanair. Travel Republic let us down badly on car hire - they grossly misrepresented what was included by lying about inclusive car excess insurance and describing fuel charges for a full tank of fuel as being slightly higher than at the pump, when in fact it was charged as more than double per litre than at a filling station. Book flights with Travel Republic BUT DO NOT FALL FOR THEIR CAR HIRE SCHEME.

Like others I have used Travel republic many times now, both for UK hotels and holidays abroad. They always seem very competitive and often in UK hotels have breakfast included and still cheaper than other companies with no breakfast option. When traveling abroad the paper work they send is very clear and I have had no problems. One observation you might want to note is that when abroad there is no holiday rep that you can go to should you have a problem and for some people that may be important. Holidays are ABTA protected

I have booked 5 holidays with Travel Republic over the last 3 years and I have always had excellent service, last time I used travel Republic was just for airport transfers when myself and 3 friends went to Nice, transfer arrangements worked like clockwork. I have no hesitation in recommending Travel Republic for your holiday arrangements.

Our holiday to Algarve last September was first time we used Travel Republic. Flights were with Ryanair, car hire with local hire firm, hotel through Travel Republic. All communications were excellent. Travel Republic are members of ABTA and ATA and are ATOL protected..for extra protection we used credit crad payment. Of course you are not booking a tradional package holiday as each booking...flight, car if you wish or tansfers and hotel are separate bookings...and there is no local rep. If you prefer tradional package holiday with support and assistance of a holiday rep and all local transport sorted as part of the package then I would recommend high street travel agents....but if you are travel savy and want to make good saving and have more choice and like to look after yourself then give them a go.

Don't worry! I have been booking with them for the last 10 years and we have stayed in about 30 or more different hotels in the UK, Spain, France, Portugal. Only once, on a French/Spanish driving tour from the UK did we arrive at a hotel and we didn't get what we had booked. That problem turned out that the restaurant was closed, it was the end of the season and we couldn't get dinner in the evening! In the end the owner of the hotel managed to offer us something, even though it came out of the micro-wave oven!!! I have no hesitation in recommending Travel Republic to anyone, in fact, I have just this week finished booking hotels in Spain for a 35 night driving tour in September! So don't worry, go for it. Hope this helps?

I have used Travel Republic many times over the last 8 years, and I have never experienced any problems. You do have to make your own arrangements for transfers to and from your resort, as they don't offer this service. But safe?.....yes I'd say so.

I have used them a few times and they have always been good. But as with all travel agents make sure they are members of ABTA and have an AYOL number. This will ensure that if things go wrong you are protected.

I used them twice last year and have no regrets about this whatsoever. At first I was like you: a little hesitant about using an unknown brand. The deal that they got for us on a short stay in Valencia was so good that I kept thinking that there had to be a catch, but the hotel delivered everything we hoped for at a fantastic price. It was the same again when we took another trip a couple of months later. Based on my experience I'd say go for it!

Beware: many parts of their holiday elements are NOT protected by ATOL or ABTA (it's in the small print) and I was ripped off over car hire in Siciliy. Travel Republic gave no support beyond forwarding my complaint to the car hire agents ( another go-between) and after 28 days and an appeal they firmly told me the case was closed. They were completely unsupportive. The flight and hotel were fine. So, as long as it goes smoothly, OK. But don't expect support from them or ABTA if things go wrong.
