Our Pricing Policy
What’s Included in Your Trinakria Tours ExperienceAt Trinakria Tours, we believe that transparency is essential to creating a truly exceptional travel experience. When you book with us, you always know exactly what you are paying for — with no hidden fees and no unexpected surprises.
Our travel packages are designed to provide a seamless and personalized journey through Sicily and the others Mediterranean destinations, combining carefully selected accommodations, reliable services, and authentic experiences.
In addition, a percentage of every trip supports regenerative tourism initiatives (discover how we reinvest locally), helping fund real projects on the ground in the destinations we work in.
The total package price is fixed and composed of several clearly defined elements, which we detail below.
Breakdown of the Total Package Price
1. Hotel Accommodation (Public Rates)
This component covers the cost of accommodation in the selected hotels, calculated according to each establishment’s public rates.
Breakfast is included in the hotel price we offer, except in a small number of selected properties where it is not available. In those cases, this is always clearly specified in the travel proposal.
We carefully select boutique hotels and charming accommodations that reflect the authentic character of the Mediterranean.
2. Rental Car with Full Coverage Insurance
Your rental car includes:
-
Comprehensive insurance coverage
-
A second driver at no additional cost
The exact insurance coverage may vary depending on the provider: some contracts include elements such as windows, tyres or the underside of the vehicle, while others may not. In all cases, the specific conditions are always clearly detailed in each travel proposal.
This allows you to explore the Mediterranean comfortably and independently throughout your journey.
3. Optional Excursions, Tastings, and Experiences
Depending on your itinerary and preferences, your trip may include selected experiences such as:
-
Guided excursions
-
Wine tastings and gastronomic experiences
-
Cultural or nature activities
These experiences are included only if requested and confirmed as part of your personalized itinerary.
Note:
The combined cost of hotels, car rental with full insurance, and excursions/activities represents approximately 85% of the total package price.
4. Package Planning & Management
A fee of €50 per person (already included in the total price) covers the professional planning and coordination of your trip.
This includes itinerary design, supplier coordination, and ongoing assistance to ensure your journey runs smoothly from start to finish.
5. Trinakria Flexible Fee
A €38 per person fee provides additional flexibility to modify reservation conditions if necessary.
This allows us to offer adaptable booking conditions and peace of mind when planning your trip.
You can learn more about the Trinakria Flexible Fee here.
6. VAT and Taxes
The total package price includes all applicable taxes (including VAT).
There are no hidden additional costs.
Services Not Included
To ensure full transparency, the following services are not included in the package price unless specifically requested.
Flights
Flights are not included in our packages.
However, we are happy to recommend the best flight options based on your departure location.
We typically do not book flights directly because many airlines operating to the Mediterranean are low-cost carriers that do not work with travel agencies, allowing travelers to book directly and avoid additional agency fees.
If you prefer us to include flights in your package, we can certainly arrange this upon request.
Half-Board in Hotels
Half-board (dinner included) is not included by default but can be added upon request during the booking process.
Additional Car Rental Insurance Options
Optional services offered by the car rental company may include:
-
Prepaid fuel service
-
Extended roadside assistance (for non-mechanical incidents)
These services can be purchased directly at the rental counter if desired.
Child Seats
Child seats are not included by default but can be added directly at the car rental desk when collecting the vehicle.
Personal Expenses During the Trip
Any personal expenses incurred during the trip are not included.
Meals, Drinks, or Services Not Specified in the Itinerary
Meals, drinks, or services not explicitly listed in your itinerary are not included in the package price.
One-Way Car Rental Fee
If you choose to return the car at a different location from the pickup point, an additional fee applies.
This fee typically ranges between €80 and €120, depending on the distance between rental offices.
This option is ideal for travelers who wish to explore multiple regions of the Mediterranean without returning to the starting point.
Trip Cancellation & Assistance Insurance (Optional)
Travel cancellation and assistance insurance is optional.
If requested, it will be added to the final package price.
Travelers can choose whether to include or remove this coverage before confirming the booking.
Our Commitment
Our goal is to offer a personalized, stress-free travel experience, combining transparency, flexibility, and authentic local knowledge.
By traveling with Trinakria Tours, you are not only discovering the Mediterranean — you are also supporting a more responsible and regenerative model of tourism that benefits the island’s landscapes, culture, and communities.
