WP Travel Engine Pro

WP Travel Engine Pro costs $499 once for 1 site. The annual plan costs $144 a year, so the lifetime license pays for itself after 42 months. Over five years you save $221 compared with renewing every year.

Yes, if you run a tour or travel business that will sell trips online for several years and you want to stop paying for your tour booking plugin every year. The lifetime plan costs $499 once for 1 site, compared with $144 a year, so it pays for itself after about 42 months. Updates: For life. Support: For life.

Check which plan you really need before you buy: 1 site for $499, 10 sites for $2,499. Fixed departure dates, upsells and new add-ons sit in the higher plans, so a tour operator with scheduled group trips may need more than the Personal plan. The money-back guarantee covers 14 days. Start with the free WP Travel Engine from wordpress.org, which has 20,000+ active installs and a rating of 4.9, build two or three real trips and upgrade once you know which add-ons your bookings need.

The free WP Travel Engine is already a complete travel booking WordPress plugin. You create unlimited tour packages with a day by day itinerary, gallery, map, trip facts, FAQs, included and excluded costs, prices for adults and children and minimum and maximum group sizes. Travellers search by destination, activity, trip type, budget or duration, book in a short checkout with a progress bar or send an inquiry, and you manage bookings, customers, coupons and booking emails in the dashboard.

WP Travel Engine Pro is the hub that unlocks the premium add-ons. The Personal plan brings an advanced itinerary builder, a booking form editor, a currency converter, a trip weather forecast, trip reviews, Zapier, webhooks and API access, all payment gateways and premium travel themes. Fixed departure dates, automated trip emails, pickup points, installment payments and upsells for extra services belong to the Growth and Travel Agency plans.

Hosted tour operator software usually charges a monthly fee or a commission on every booking. WP Travel Engine sells every plan on its own website as a yearly plan or as a lifetime plan with a one-time payment, and the booking data stays on your own WordPress site. Updates: For life. Support: For life. The tiers: 1 site for $499, 10 sites for $2,499.

If you also rent hotels, apartments or cars, compare it with Tourfic Pro, the other travel booking plugin with a lifetime plan in our catalog. WP Travel Engine focuses on tours and trip packages, which shows in its itinerary and trip search features.

After the purchase you install the free WP Travel Engine from wordpress.org, then download WP Travel Engine Pro from your WP Travel Engine account, upload it under Plugins, Add New, activate it and enter the license key to install the add-ons of your plan. Run the setup wizard for currency, payment gateway and booking emails, create your first trip with itinerary and pricing, then make a test booking with a real payment before you go live.
