Not inspired at all
After finding out my hotel cost £232 using a family fund voucher yet inspire charged £379 that's £146 commission when the voucher was £450 at least turpin wore a mask shameful. Yes their customer service were good that's what they are paid to do they only booked a room at well know hotel took five minute call couldn't even book breakfast as they wanted £515 total voucher was only £450 they wanted to charge extra £50 on top of the hotels normal charge for anyone of £88 for breakfast you couldn't make it up. We did get breakfast from hotel paid £88. If you want hugely inflated prices using a charity's voucher Then choose inspire because the only one benefiting is inspire holidays.

Be aware of admin fees
Be aware, booked a weekend away in York for December but knew we wouldnt be able to go due to hubbies deteriorating health. Confirmation stated free cancellation up to 15th December but this company charge £50 per person admin fee even with 6 months notice. If we had booked with hotel direct it would have been cheaper and free cancellation - only booked via this site as had been gifted a voucher … avoid at all costs!

Thank you for your feedback Julie . We are sorry to hear about your husband's health issues and wish him all the best.
We appreciate your disappointment regarding the cancellation charges. However, we would like to clarify that our cancellation policy, including any applicable administration fees, is clearly outlined in the terms and conditions that are agreed to at the time of booking.
While your booking may have included free cancellation from the supplier up to a certain date, our administration fee applies to cancellations processed through our agency and is detailed within the booking terms accepted during the booking process.
We understand that comparing direct bookings with hotel bookings made through a travel agency can sometimes lead to differences in pricing and cancellation conditions, as different suppliers and booking channels operate under different terms.
We value your feedback and are sorry that your experience has left you feeling dissatisfied.

WOULD NOT RECOMMEND
Horrible experience, have requested a call form inspire so many times as well as calling, once someone picks the call up they hang up immediately, I get correspondence via email to apologise and letting me know someone will be in touch however nobody does, my voucher is due to expire by the end of the year and I feel I will have been scammed. Definitely would not recommend.

Dear Caitlin, Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry to hear about your experience and understand your frustration.
What you have described is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide. We apologise if you have experienced difficulties reaching our team or if expected callbacks have not taken place. We appreciate how concerning this must be, particularly with your voucher approaching its expiry date.
Please be assured that your concerns are important to us, and we would like the opportunity to investigate this matter and assist you directly. We would kindly ask that you email us at customerservice@travelbyinspire.co.uk with your voucher reference number and contact details so that a member of our team can review your case as a priority.
We take all customer feedback seriously and are committed to resolving issues wherever possible. We hope you will allow us the opportunity to address your concerns and help you make use of your voucher.

Bought £700 worth of vouchers for our son. Thought we could pay off the balance of his holiday but no! Looked at the website and found the prices were a lot higher than if we went direct on the high street. Wont waste my money next time had to give cash to my son instead and hopefully we'll find a better deal for ourselves as can't afford to lose £700..... Never again...

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear about your disappointment.
When purchasing our vouchers, the terms and conditions do advise that bookings must be made directly through us in order to redeem the voucher value. Prices can vary between suppliers and booking channels, which is why we always recommend contacting us for a personalised quote before making comparisons.
We would be happy to look into options for you and see if we can find a suitable deal. Please email us at customerservice@travelbyinspire.co.uk with details of the holiday or travel arrangements you are interested in, and our team will be happy to provide a quote.
We appreciate your comments and hope we have the opportunity to assist you in the future.

Be warned: Prices inflated by 35% above market rate
A gift voucher was purchased through Inspire Travel in good faith, expecting it to carry the same purchasing power as booking direct. When I came to use it, the same flight that was available for £118 directly through British Airways or comparison platforms including Skyscanner and Expedia, was priced at £160 on Inspire's platform. A 35.6% markup!
Inspire's own FAQ states they "work very hard to maintain price parity." In correspondence, they confirmed they cannot access direct airline pricing. These two positions are irreconcilable. I am now escalating this as despite multiple written requests for either a refund or the booking at a fair market rate, both were refused.
Essentially, a 35.6% markup renders your voucher largely useless. You will get significantly more value booking direct with the airline or through a reputable comparison platform such as Skyscanner or Expedia. Don't fall for the same trap I did, use your money elsewhere where you can get much better rates.

Hi Nicola Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the pricing available for your chosen flight.
We would like to clarify that Inspire Travel operates as a travel agent and therefore does not always have access to the same fares that may be available directly from airlines or through online comparison websites. Airline pricing is highly dynamic and can vary between booking channels, suppliers, fare classes, and availability at any given time.
While we always strive to offer competitive pricing and value for our customers, we cannot guarantee that our prices will match those offered directly by airlines or third-party comparison sites. As outlined in our FAQ, we work hard to maintain competitive pricing across our products; however, due to the nature of the travel industry and the supplier networks available to us, exact price parity is not always possible.
We appreciate that this may not have met your expectations, but the voucher remains redeemable across a wide range of travel products and suppliers available through our agency. If you would like us to explore alternative flight or holiday options, our team would be happy to assist.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.

Bought £100 vouchers as a gift and have been looking at the holidays on this site! Firstly the website itself is awful! Secondly the holidays are so much expensive than any of the bigger travel agents, the hotels all look old and dated not sure whether your photographer isn’t up to scratch but I haven’t seen a single holiday that looks appealing! Probably won’t be using the voucher which is a massive waste of money! Shocked there are so many positive reviews to be honest!!

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience has left you feeling disappointed.
We appreciate your comments regarding both the website and the holiday options you viewed. While our website showcases a selection of available holidays, it does not display all of the suppliers and packages we have access to through our trade booking systems. As a result, many holiday options are available through our team but may not appear on the website.
For this reason, we always encourage customers to contact us directly for a personalised quotation. We can often provide a much wider range of hotels, destinations, and holiday packages tailored to individual requirements and budgets.
We are sorry that you currently feel your voucher may go unused, and we would welcome the opportunity to help you find a holiday that offers better value and a wider choice. Please email us at customerservice@travelbyinspire.co.uk with your preferred destination, dates, and departure airport, and our team will be happy to provide a tailored quote.
We value all feedback and continuously work to improve both our website and customer experience.

My Daughter asked me what I would like…
*WARNING DO NOT BUY A INSPIRE VOUCHER* My Daughter asked me what I would like for my birthday, Could not think of anything, then I said....Oh, a voucher would be nice for Jet2! So, Bless her she got me one.
Gave it me, did not realise it had to be booked through Inspire! ( Our faults for thinking it could be done on the Jet2 app) Lesson learnt!
Look on Inspire, Load of Rubbish, Hardly any hotels in the destination I was looking for ( about 5, which not one of them would I stay in, then the price was hundreds of pounds more, adding the transfer and baggage on too! Honestly, SHOCKING PRICES! Like a previous person commented " Rip off" comes to mind. Sadly, what a WASTE OF A VOUCHER! IT WILL NOT BE USED! Much cheaper, much more selection on the Jet2 App. I can't believe anyone uses USELESS INSPIRE! When you can get a better deal direct with Jet2, Tui etc. It needs HIGHLIGHTING IN BIG BOLD LETTERS THAT THEY HAVE TO BE USED THROUGH INSPIRE! I WOULD GIVE ZERO STARS IF I COULD!
*Seeing ALL These NEGATIVE reviews about people and their vouchers going to waste, is SHOCKING! IF ONLY WE HAD READ THEM BEFORE, 100% WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT ONE. DEFINITELY RAKING THE MONEY IN OFF THESE POOR PEOPLE WHO BUY THEM FOR GIFTS!* And FINALLY, LIKE ANOTHER PERSON SAID....DON'T BOTHER REPLYING, IT'S THE SAME BORING REPLY EVERYONE GETS!

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience has not met your expectations.
We understand your frustration and appreciate your comments regarding the voucher redemption process. Our vouchers are intended to be redeemed through Inspire, and this information is provided within the voucher terms and conditions at the time of purchase. As we work with a wide range of travel suppliers and package options, availability and pricing can differ from those offered directly by individual operators.
We would also like to clarify that Jet2 Holidays packages are not displayed on our website. However, we can book Jet2 Holidays through our trade booking portal, which is why we encourage customers to contact us directly for a personalised quotation rather than relying solely on the online search results.
We are disappointed to hear that you were unable to find a suitable holiday option online. If you would like to give us the opportunity to assist, please contact us at customerservice@travelbyinspire.co.uk with your preferred destination, dates, departure airport, and any hotel preferences. Our team will be happy to check our trade systems, including Jet2 Holidays, and provide a tailored quote.
We value all customer feedback and continuously review our products and services to improve the customer experience. We hope we have the opportunity to demonstrate the full range of options available to our customers.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear you were disappointed with the pricing you found.
As a travel agent, we do not book directly with airlines, hotels, or operators. All bookings are made through our approved travel suppliers and tour partners, which means pricing can differ from booking direct or through comparison websites.
One of the benefits of booking through us is the additional support and protection provided both before and after travel. This includes assistance with amendments, schedule changes, supplier issues, and support while you are away, which is not always available when booking individual elements separately.
We do appreciate your comments and understand that pricing is an important factor when choosing how to book your travel arrangements. Kindest Wishes Lindsay

Last minute flight re-arrangement
I found out 3 week's prior to our departure date that our son had been nominated for an award at his college and should attend. The only problem was it was the day after we were supposed to depart. Haylee was very knowledgeable about how airlines operate and made re-arranging our flights seamless so we can attend the awards ceremony. Thank you Haylee!
