Money Pot - What is it?

Everything you need to know about the Money Pot

So, what is the Money Pot?

The money pot is a shared fund in the local currency managed and collected by your Travel Coordinator.

How does the Money Pot work?


The Money Pot is a shared fund specifically for all the extra activities that everyone in the group agrees to do, which are not included in the tour package. It also covers the coordinator's fee for these activities. The amount in the Money Pot can vary from trip to trip, depending on the number of activities and extras the group decides to enjoy. Any leftover money will be returned to participants at the end of the trip. Don't worry, our Travel Coordinators always try their best to get a good deal and make the most of the Money Pot!

Frequently Asked Questions

Money Pot

The Money Pot is a common fund collected in local currency from all tour participants and managed by your Travel Coordinator.

The Money Pot is only used for all the extra activities (not included in the tour package) that ALL members of the group agree to do. Rather than collecting money each time a group payment is required, having a common fund to pull from speeds things up!

Your Travel Coordinator will clearly communicate and track all group payments so you are fully aware of where your money is going. 

Any leftover money will be returned at the end of the trip to participants and don't worry, our Travel Coordinators always try and haggle a deal!

 

Accommodation

Accommodation on our tours is in shared bedrooms with your fellow travellers. You will share the room with people of the same gender and there may be situations where you have to share a double bed depending on the destination!

We prefer to offer typical accommodation to stay true to the local culture, avoiding international hotels. Think guest houses, Colombian ecolodges, typical casas in Cuba, ryokan in Japan, tents in the middle of the Moroccan desert, and lodges in Tanzania.

In some destinations our trips will have nights in camping grounds, tents or traditional accommodations. These may have rooms with  more than four people. We believe that in these scenarios, living like a local for a night will make the experience even more unique and unforgettable!

If you would like to have your own private room, most of our trips offer a 'non sharing room' at an extra cost. You will be able to select this option during check out when you book your spot for the trip of of your choice!

Flight

Flights to and from your start and end destination are not included in the cost of a WeRoad tour.

In this way, you can choose your favourite airline, departure airport, and arrival time.

A lot of travellers prefer to arrive a few days before the tour start date, or leave a couple of days after the end of the tour. This gives you total control and flexibility! 😉
