What is a TravelCard?
A TravelCard is a voucher code which you can use to purchase travel on our live booking sites or via our reservations team. The TravelCard corresponds to a cash value, which the recipient can use to book their choice of flights, hotels, car hire, packages, cruises, and much, much more.
Will my TravelCard expire?
TravelCards are valid for 18 months from date of issue to ensure you have plenty of time to use your card. You can simply check your balance and expiry date here: https://www.travelbyinspire.co.uk/check-balance/. Travel dates may be later than the TravelCard's expiry date.
Can I use more than one TravelCard on a single booking?
Yes, to make it more flexible for you, you can use an unlimited number of cards per booking.
Can TravelCards be used more than once?
Yes, they can. You can use your card as many times as you like - until your balance reaches zero or the card expires.
If there are not enough funds on my TravelCard can I pay the balance another way?
Yes, we accept all major debit and credit cards.
Are my funds protected?
Yes, all funds on your TravelCard are fully 100% financially protected until you use your card to make a booking, to give you complete peace of mind. Once a booking is made, your travel is protected by our licences and bonds.
Are there any restrictions with the TravelCard?
No, there are no caveats, blackout dates, minimum or maximum spend. The TravelCard is very flexible to make it really easy for you to use.
