One4All - all for one!
I had three One4All gift cards and it was very complicated paying for the trip, but Paul was incredibly patient and helpful. Very impressed by the service. Looking forward to my trip, which is also a great deal!

Be aware that this Travel Agency that specialises in providing holiday for children with disabilities sells you extremely overpriced holidays! Triple or even more the price of you book directly. This people take advantage of
People with disabilities with the excuse that they have administration fees. Disgraceful and complete lack of empathy and humanity.

Hi Teodora,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you were unhappy with the cost of your holiday and appreciate that you may have felt frustrated by the overall price.
We would, however, like to address your comments This is certainly not our intention or the way we operate. We take supporting families and individuals with additional needs very seriously and aim to provide a helpful and supportive service throughout the booking process.
Our administration fee is clearly outlined in our terms and conditions and is charged for the administration, booking and support services we provide. These terms are available for customers to review before proceeding with their booking.
As a travel agent, we also do not necessarily receive or have access to the same prices offered when booking directly with suppliers, so our prices can differ from those available online.
We’re sorry that your experience has left you feeling this way, but we hope this clarifies that our fees and pricing are not intended to take advantage of our customers, and that the administration fee is clearly communicated as part of our terms and conditions.
Kindest wishes

Awful booking experience and Inspire…
Awful booking experience and Inspire take around 20% commissions fees from any vouchers you have. Don't touch them. If your employers offers you vouchers benefits, go somewhere else! If you want to book a flight or hotels...Go direct. Avoid this company or you'll be out of pocket.

We’re sorry to hear that your booking experience left you feeling this way. We’d like to reassure you that we are a genuine travel agent, and the suggestion that we simply “take” 20% of your vouchers isn’t an accurate reflection of how our voucher and booking process works.
As a travel agent, our prices can sometimes differ from those available when booking directly with airlines, hotels or other suppliers, as we don’t always have access to the same direct promotions or rates. This can also work both ways, with our rates sometimes being more competitive than booking direct.
Our vouchers can be redeemed against eligible bookings with us, with the added benefit of our support before, during and after your travel.
We’d really appreciate the opportunity to look into your specific booking and explain the costs involved. Please contact us at fulfilment@travelbyinspire.co.uk with your booking details and we’ll be happy to review this personally and do our very best to assist.
⚠️ AVOID INSPIRE
⚠️ AVOID INSPIRE – MY EXPERIENCE
I would strongly advise people, especially vulnerable and disabled customers, to think very carefully before using Inspire.
A family member gave me a £400 voucher, and I booked a holiday through Inspire. The holiday was booked as a package through Jet2. The Jet2 holiday price was £2,300, yet Inspire charged me £2,779 — a difference of £479. I believe customers should be given a clear and transparent explanation for such a large difference.
What makes this even more upsetting is that Inspire is supposed to support vulnerable people. In my experience, I did not feel supported or treated with the care and respect I would have expected.
I also experienced rude and intimidating behaviour over the phone. I felt pressured, rushed and bullied into making payment, rather than being given proper time to understand what I was agreeing to. No customer, particularly someone who may be vulnerable, should feel pressured into handing over money.
My dealings with Paul who was making up prices as you go and Keith inflating prices the next day have also left me extremely unhappy. Based on my personal experience, I would not recommend dealing with either of them.
I feel extremely let down by the whole experience. I believe people should check the price directly with Jet2, ask for a complete written breakdown of every charge, and take their time before making any payment.
For me, this experience has completely destroyed my confidence in Inspire. I would not use them again, and I would strongly urge others to do their research before booking through them.
This is my honest account of my personal experience and how I was treated.

Good morning,
Thank you for taking the time to provide such detailed feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience has left you feeling so disappointed and that you did not feel supported during the booking process.
We would like to clarify that, as a travel agent, we do not necessarily receive or have access to the same prices offered directly by suppliers such as Jet2. The price available to us can therefore differ from the direct price, and package holiday pricing can vary depending on availability, the package selected, inclusions and booking terms. Our prices are not simply made up, and we aim to provide the total cost before a customer proceeds with a booking.
Our administration and booking fees are also clearly outlined in our terms and conditions. These fees cover the work involved in arranging and administering the booking, as well as the support provided by our team.
We take your comments regarding feeling pressured or intimidated during your telephone conversations very seriously. This is not the level of service we expect our customers to receive, and your concerns regarding your interactions with Paul and Keith will be shared with the relevant management team for review.
We are particularly sorry to hear that you did not feel the care and respect you expected from us. We understand that customers may have additional needs and we strive to provide a supportive and respectful service to everyone.
We appreciate that you have shared your personal experience and are sorry that we have not met your expectations on this occasion.
Kindest wishes

I would strongly advise people to be very careful when considering booking through Inspire.
A family member gave me a £400 voucher, and I booked a holiday through Inspire. The holiday was booked as a package via Jet2. The Jet2 holiday price was £2,200, but Inspire charged me £2,779, which is a significant difference.
What concerns me most is that Inspire is supposed to support vulnerable people. In my experience, I feel I was treated unfairly and that the pricing and service were not transparent.
I am extremely disappointed with how this situation has been handled. I would personally avoid using Inspire in the future and would encourage others to carefully check prices and compare them directly with Jet2 before booking.
I also have concerns about my dealings with Paul and Keith and would not personally recommend dealing with them based on my experience.
They seem to make up prices as they go.
Please make sure you get a full price breakdown in writing and check the direct Jet2 price before committing to a booking.

Unfair Gift Voucher Value Reduction
No problem with the staff in this company , but people need to be aware that you will pay MORE for your holiday using them . We were bought a £100 voucher which we wanted to use to take our Grandson on holiday . Hoseasons direct booking was £275 but Inspire charged us £295. So £20 increase! On my Hoseason account is a receipt for £275 and showing a reduction in cost for Inspire of £34.38 (Agent commission),it appears Inspire got my holiday for £240.62 ( Screenshot of invoice available). So with the £20 extra for the holiday, they appear to have "earnt" £54.38, while I lost £20 of my voucher value. I would never want another voucher from Inspire , I now see there are lots of people with the same situation on these reviews.
I have queried this situation with Hoseasons and Inspire, and basically met a dead end with them blaming each other. I am shocked with the response from Hoseasons (separate review) after booking holidays with them for 40 years !

We’re sorry to hear that you feel disappointed with the pricing of your booking, although we’re pleased to hear that you had no issues with our staff.
We’d like to clarify that we are a genuine travel agent, and our pricing can sometimes differ from the rates available when booking directly with a supplier. Suppliers may offer different rates, commissions or promotions to travel agents, and this can work both ways — there are also occasions where booking through us can be more competitive than booking direct.
We appreciate that seeing a difference in price can be frustrating, however our vouchers also provide the benefit of being able to use them towards eligible holidays, along with the support of our team before, during and after your travel.

Booking prices
As all other comments read, staff were very nice to deal with but there is a massive BUT for me,
We Had a voucher bought as a gift, (£150 value) the price they wanted to arrange booking on a £117 room worked out at £220. Mr turpin springs to mind.
Advised daughter to never buy us another!

Hi Ian,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re pleased to hear that you found our staff very nice to deal with, although we’re sorry you were disappointed with the price of your booking.
As a travel agent, we’re unfortunately unable to guarantee or always match the direct prices offered by hotels or other suppliers. There are also a number of factors that can affect the final price, including the room type selected, availability, and the specific terms and conditions attached to the booking.
When booking through us, customers also benefit from the support and peace of mind of having our team assist with the booking and be on hand should they need any help.
We appreciate your feedback and are sorry that on this occasion the value did not meet your expectations.
