How can I pay for my tour in installments?

Paying for your tour by installments can make managing your travel budget more manageable.

TourRadar offers the option to pay in installments if your tour is booked far enough in advance. This allows you to split your balance into smaller payments leading up to your final due date.

Choosing installment payments during booking

If your departure date is far enough in the future, you'll see the Pay by Installments option during checkout.

  • Available when booking more than 90 days before departure (this may vary depending on the operator and travel style)

  • If eligible, you'll see the option on the payment page before completing your booking

How automated installments work

  • Payments are automatically deducted every two weeks

  • The exact dates and amounts are shown during booking and also listed in the 'Payment' section on your booking page.

If you didn’t choose installments at checkout

You can still manage your payments manually:

  • Go to your Booking Conversation Page

  • Make a manual payment toward your balance at any time, up until the final payment due date

  • You can also request payments from travel companions to split the cost

Want to switch to installments after booking?

If you initially paid with a single payment or manual plan, you may still be able to switch to automated installments — but only if your booking meets these criteria:

  • Your final payment is not due for at least 28 days (to allow for two biweekly installments)

  • Your outstanding balance is at least 200 in USD, CAD, AUD, NZD, EUR, or GBP

To request a switch:

  1. Go to your Booking Conversation Page

  2. Send a message asking to enable installment payments

We'll review your booking and let you know if the change is possible.
