FAQ
Last Updated: August 11, 2026
1. What is TripInviter?
TripInviter is a private trip organiser for road trips and group
travel. The Trip Organiser builds a day-by-day itinerary — including
accommodation, activities, gate codes, and key contacts — and shares
it with invited Guests via a unique invitation link. Everyone on the
trip sees the same information, in one place.
2. Do my Guests need to create an account?
No. Guests can view the full trip itinerary, including all days,
activities, and access codes, without creating an account. An account
is only needed if a Guest wants to RSVP or post notes on the trip.
3. Is TripInviter free to use?
Yes. Creating an account, building a trip, and inviting Guests is
completely free. Advanced features for Organisers — such as a
printable Trip Report and Safety Sheet — are planned for a future
PRO plan.
4. How do Guests receive their invitation?
The Organiser shares a unique invitation link using any messaging app
— WhatsApp, SMS, iMessage, or email. Guests tap the link to open
their personalised trip view instantly in any browser. No app
download is required.
5. Can a Guest forward the trip to someone else?
Yes. Any Guest can forward the invitation link to someone not
originally on the guest list. The Organiser stays in control — they
can see all forwarded Guests and remove anyone from the trip at
any time.
6. How do gate codes and access details work?
The Organiser enters gate codes, key safe combinations, WiFi
passwords, and booking references directly into the trip. These
are stored securely and are only visible to the Organiser and
invited Guests. On the mobile app, all codes are available offline
— no signal required.
7. Does TripInviter track my location?
No. TripInviter does not track, record, or monitor your real-time
GPS location at any time. When you tap a destination to navigate,
the app hands off a static coordinate to your preferred navigation
app — Waze, Google Maps, or Apple Maps. All active navigation
happens entirely within that third-party app.
8. What happens if I delete my account as an Organiser?
Your personal profile, name, email address, and contact details
are permanently deleted from our servers. The trip itinerary itself
remains accessible to your invited Guests so they retain their
record of past trips. Your identity is fully anonymised from all
trip data.
9. Can I reopen an archived trip?
Archived trips are read-only. To run it again, open it and choose
Save as Template — that creates an editable copy you can rebuild and
publish as a new trip, while the original stays preserved in your
Past list.
10. Is my trip information private?
Yes. TripInviter is invite-only. Trip details, itineraries, gate
codes, and guest lists are only visible to the Organiser and the
specific Guests who accepted the invitation link. We do not sell
your data or use your trip information for advertising. See our
Privacy Policy for full details.
11. Can the Organiser hide the guest list from other Guests?
Yes. The Organiser can enable "Hide guest list from guests" in Trip
Settings. When enabled, Guests cannot see who else is on the trip.
The Organiser always sees the full guest list. This is useful for
surprise trips, corporate groups, or any trip where participants
do not know each other.
12. What is a Broadcast Alert?
The Organiser can post a Broadcast Alert to all Guests at any time.
The alert appears as a prominent banner at the top of the trip for
every Guest. This is useful for time-sensitive updates such as a
change of departure time, a new meeting point, or a weather delay.
The Organiser can clear the alert at any time or set it to expire
automatically.
13. What are Trip Terms and Conditions?
An Organiser can attach a PDF named "Trip Terms and Conditions.pdf"
to any trip. When this attachment is present, the RSVP Accept button
changes to "Accept & I agree to the trip conditions". By accepting,
the Guest confirms they have read and agree to the attached document.
The acceptance is permanently recorded with a timestamp. The Terms
and Conditions document is locked once any Guest has accepted and
cannot be changed or deleted.
14. I have a question that is not answered here. How do I get help?

all enquiries within one business day.
