What about insurance?

It’s always a good idea to talk to your insurer before your trip to make sure you are covered while you swap and to give yourself a chance to take out any extra coverage should you need it.

Who is liable for accidents that occur on a trip?

Trips4Trade is in no way liable for accidents or injury that occur on a trip. By using Trips4Trade, you are accepting liability for unintentional accidents or injuries that may occur on a trip.

What if I don’t want people knowing the specifics of what I have to offer?

Users can only see the info that you want them to. For example, you do not have to list the specific city you are hunting near, how much property you have, the names of your property, your full name, and so on. Although specifics may increase your chances for interest, your listing can simply state, […]

How do I make sure the trade is of equal value?

There is no determinable factor to ensure a trade is of equal value. Value is subjective to each person’s experiences. Most people place value on a trip that they do not have access to. Thus, rarity usually equals value on this platform. While one trip may not be rare for some, it will be unique […]

Jul 12
What if I don’t provide accommodations or lodging?

Accommodations and lodging are not required on a trip. However, adding this increases the value of your trip offering. Some users provide accommodations and lodging, and some users only provide the trip experience. We recommend that you either invite them to stay with you or suggest a local hotel for your Trade Partner to stay […]

Jul 12
What if I only have a small piece of property to offer?

You must be very transparent about what you have to offer. Make sure to put the size of the property in your listing. However, even if your property is small, it will be valuable to someone that is less fortunate.  Rest assured that if you enjoy it, someone else will too.

Jul 12
Are there any hidden costs?

No. Aside from an annual membership fee and a deposit holding fee (should you select it), there are no other costs to Trips4Trade. However, costs for travel, transport, accommodation, food, and hunting documents typically occur to complete a Trade. These costs are paid by you unless otherwise agreed with the Trade Partner.

Jul 12
Can I transfer a trip?

Transferring a trip must be clarified with the Trade Partner. Of course, you are able to mutually agree on the details of your hunt with your Trade Partner.

Jul 12
Can Trade transactions be cancelled or postponed?

As long as the Trade has not been completed, it can be canceled or postponed under mutual agreement. However, as soon as one party has completed his side of the Trade, a cancellation is no longer possible; although a postponement may be an option.

How does a Trade work?

Once you have listed a Trade offer online, you will receive offers from other users or you can make a Trade request yourself. As soon as you and the other user have agreed, nothing stands between you and the Trade.

What happens if my Trade Partner damages my property while on my trip?

We recommend having this scenario agreed on in writing before the trip takes place. Our suggestion is for each user to pay for any damages they cause on a trip. We provide a “Trade Contract” in our resource tab to help make this legally binding.

I feel threatened or unsafe during my trip. What do I do?
