FAQ
GoGlobia Travelling Technologies Limited offers a comprehensive range of travel services through one convenient platform. From booking flights and hotels to arranging Hajj/Umrah pilgrimages, medical trips, and local tours (all enhanced by AI-powered planning), we strive to make your travel experience seamless. Below you’ll find answers to common questions about each of our services and how to use our platform.
Domestic & International Flight Ticketing
Q: How do I book a domestic or international flight through GoGlobia?
A: Booking a flight with GoGlobia is easy. Simply visit our website and select the “Flights†option. Enter your trip details (origin, destination, travel dates, number of passengers) and click search. You’ll get a list of available flights from various airlines – both domestic and international. Choose the flight that suits you best, provide the passenger details (exactly as they appear on the ID/passport), and proceed to payment. Once the booking is confirmed, we will email you an e-ticket and booking confirmation. You can then print the e-ticket or simply present the digital copy (along with your ID) at the airport check-in.
Q: Which airlines and destinations can I book through GoGlobia?
A: We partner with a wide range of airlines globally, so you can book flights to thousands of destinations worldwide as well as within your country. GoGlobia’s platform includes major international carriers, regional airlines, and local domestic airlines. This means you have access to competitive fares for flights ranging from short domestic hops to long-haul international journeys – all in one place. Whether you’re flying from Abuja to Lagos, or from Nigeria to Europe, Asia, the Americas, etc., you can find convenient options on our platform. We continuously expand our partnerships to include more routes and airlines, giving you plenty of choice for your travel plans.
Q: Do I get an e-ticket and how do I use it?
A: Yes – all flight bookings on GoGlobia are delivered as electronic tickets (e-tickets). After you complete a flight booking, a confirmation email with your e-ticket details (including an airline confirmation code or PNR) will be sent to you. You do not need a paper ticket; simply present a copy of the e-ticket (on your phone or printed) along with a valid ID/passport at the airport. The airline staff can retrieve your reservation with your name and confirmation code. Your e-ticket contains your flight itinerary and ticket number, which you can also use to manage your booking directly with the airline (for example, to select seats or add special service requests).
Q: Can I select seats or make special requests (meals, wheelchair, etc.) for my flight?
A: Absolutely. During the flight booking process on GoGlobia, you will often have the option to input special requests – such as meal preferences or wheelchair assistance – depending on the airline. Seat selection might be available for certain airlines during booking (sometimes for an extra fee), or you may be assigned a seat which you can change later. If seat selection isn’t available on our platform, you can use your airline confirmation code on the airline’s website to choose seats or make requests after booking. Our customer support can also help communicate special requests to the airline if needed. We strive to accommodate your preferences so you have a comfortable journey.
Hotel Bookings and Accommodation
Q: How do I book a hotel or other accommodation on GoGlobia?
A: To book a hotel, start by selecting the “Hotels†option on our website. Enter your destination, travel dates, and number of guests, then search. You’ll see a list of available accommodations – which you can filter by price, star rating, amenities, etc. Once you find a hotel or property you like, select your room type and review the rate (and any inclusion like breakfast or free cancellation). Then enter the guest details (name, contact info) and proceed to payment. After booking, you will receive a hotel confirmation voucher or email. This confirmation contains your reservation details which you can present at check-in (along with an ID). The process is straightforward and similar to booking a flight – and if you need any help, our support team is ready to assist.
Q: What types of accommodations can I book via GoGlobia?
A: GoGlobia offers a wide variety of accommodation options to suit different preferences and budgets. You can book hotels ranging from budget-friendly inns and 3-star hotels to luxury 5-star resorts. Additionally, our platform includes serviced apartments, vacation homes, and guesthouses, giving you the flexibility to choose the type of stay that fits your needs. Whether you need a business hotel in a city center, a family-friendly resort, or a cozy apartment for a long stay, you’ll find numerous options in destinations around the world. We continuously add lodging partners to ensure you have access to quality accommodations globally.
Q: Can I book accommodations worldwide, not just in Africa?
A: Yes, you can. While GoGlobia is based in Africa, our hotel booking services are global. We have partnerships with accommodation providers in thousands of cities worldwide. You can book a beachside hotel in Dubai, a hostel in London, a resort in Kenya, or a safari lodge in Tanzania – all through the same GoGlobia platform. Our aim is to be your one-stop travel solution, no matter where you’re headed. All properties listed will show the location, price per night, and any important details (like check-in age restrictions or extra fees) so you can book internationally with confidence.
Q: Do I need to pay for my hotel booking upfront?
A: It depends on the hotel and the rate you choose. Many hotel bookings on GoGlobia require upfront payment to secure the room (especially if you select a discounted rate). In these cases, you’ll pay online during booking and you won’t be charged anything at check-in. However, some hotels offer a “Book Now, Pay Later†option or allow payment at the property – this is usually indicated as you select the room. We clearly display the payment policy before you confirm the reservation. Regardless of the payment method, a valid credit/debit card is typically required to guarantee your booking. Rest assured, our platform uses secure payment processing for any upfront charges, and we will email you a confirmation as proof of your prepaid reservation if you pay in advance.
Hajj & Umrah Services (HajjUmrah.Africa)
Q: What services do you offer for Hajj and Umrah pilgrims?
A: Through our dedicated service HajjUmrah.Africa, GoGlobia provides comprehensive travel packages for the Islamic pilgrimages of Hajj and Umrah. We take care of all the essential arrangements so you can focus on the spiritual experience. Our services typically include assistance with obtaining the Hajj or Umrah visa, booking round-trip flights to Saudi Arabia, arranging accommodations in Makkah and Madinah (at various comfort levels, from budget hotels to premium stays close to the holy sites), and organizing ground transportation within Saudi Arabia (airport transfers, travel between cities, etc.). We also coordinate with licensed guides and local agencies to ensure that pilgrims meet all requirements set by the authorities (such as proper registration with Hajj groups). Whether you are a first-time pilgrim or traveling in a group, our Hajj & Umrah team provides guidance at each step – from preparation and required vaccinations to on-ground support during the pilgrimage.
Q: What documents are needed for Hajj or Umrah travel?
A: For Hajj or Umrah, you will need to prepare a few important documents. These include:
A valid passport (with at least six months validity beyond your travel dates).
A Hajj or Umrah visa issued by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. (Our team will guide you through the visa application; requirements often include passport-sized photos and a completed application form. For Hajj visas, you generally must travel with an authorized Hajj group – which we facilitate.)
Proof of vaccinations: Saudi Arabia requires pilgrims to have certain immunizations. The most important is the Meningococcal (ACWY) vaccination certificate. Other vaccines (like COVID-19 or Yellow Fever) may be required or recommended depending on current regulations and your country of origin.
If you are a female traveler under a certain age, additional documents (or a Mahram – a male relative escort) might be required for Hajj. We will inform you of any such requirements based on the latest rules.
GoGlobia’s HajjUmrah team will provide you with a detailed list of required documents and will assist in ensuring everything is in order. We help with the visa processing and keep you updated on any changes in regulations, so your pilgrimage travel documents are handled correctly and timely.
Q: How early should I book my Hajj or Umrah package?
A: It’s highly recommended to plan and book your Hajj or Umrah package as early as possible. Hajj in particular has limited quotas per country and tends to fill up many months in advance (sometimes a year ahead) due to high demand and regulatory limits. Early booking gives you a better chance of securing your slot and preferred accommodation. For Umrah, there is more flexibility since it can be performed year-round (outside of Hajj season), but booking a few months in advance is still advised, especially for peak times like Ramadan. Early planning also allows sufficient time to process your visa, get necessary vaccinations, and attend any orientation sessions we provide. While we do our best to accommodate last-minute requests, booking early ensures a smoother and more affordable experience for your pilgrimage.
Air Cargo & Logistics
Q: What does GoGlobia’s Air Cargo & Logistics service cover?
A: GoGlobia isn’t just about passenger travel—we also help with air cargo and logistics needs. Our Air Cargo service allows you to ship goods and packages domestically or internationally by air. Whether you have excess baggage you want to send ahead, business shipments, or personal packages, we can facilitate the process. We coordinate with reputable cargo carriers and freight services to handle transport of your items safely and efficiently. This includes door-to-door delivery in many cases or drop-off/pick-up at designated cargo centers. We can accommodate a range of shipment sizes, from small parcels to larger freight. (Please note that all shipments must comply with airline cargo regulations – we do not ship prohibited or hazardous items such as explosives, certain chemicals, etc.) Our goal is to provide a convenient logistics solution for travelers and businesses, integrated with your travel plans if needed (for example, sending luggage or goods separately while you fly).
Q: How do I book an air cargo shipment through GoGlobia?
A: To arrange an air cargo shipment, you can reach out to our logistics team through the GoGlobia platform. On our website, go to the Air Cargo & Logistics section and submit a shipment request form with details like the origin city, destination city, approximate weight/volume, and nature of the items you want to ship. If you’re not sure about the details, you can also contact our customer support line and ask for the cargo department. Once we have your information, we will provide you with a quote (pricing) and shipping options. If you decide to proceed, our team will schedule the shipment, arrange for pickup of the items (or inform you where to drop them off), and handle the necessary documentation (airway bills, customs forms if applicable). Payment for cargo services can be made securely via our platform. After that, we take care of the rest and keep you updated on your shipment’s progress.
Q: Can I track my shipment and how long will delivery take?
A: Yes, we provide tracking for all air cargo shipments. Once your package is shipped, you will receive a tracking number or link that allows you to monitor its status in real time. You’ll be able to see updates like when it departs, arrives at transit points, and when it’s out for delivery. Additionally, our logistics team keeps an eye on your shipment and can provide status updates if you prefer to contact us directly. As for delivery time, it depends on the shipping route and service you choose. Express air cargo to major international cities can arrive within a few days, whereas economy or less urgent freight might take a bit longer (a week or more, especially if customs clearance is involved). We will give you an estimated delivery timeframe when you book. Rest assured, we strive to ensure your shipment reaches its destination as quickly and safely as possible, and we’ll assist with any customs or delivery coordination needed at the destination.
Medical Tourism
Q: What is medical tourism, and how can GoGlobia assist me with it?
A: Medical tourism refers to traveling to another city or country to receive medical care, often combining it with a break or recovery period in that destination. GoGlobia’s Medical Tourism service helps clients who seek medical treatment abroad by taking care of all travel-related arrangements. We work with you to understand the medical procedure or treatment you need and suggest destinations known for excellence in that field (considering factors like quality of healthcare, affordability, and accessibility). Our team can recommend accredited hospitals/clinics and experienced doctors for your needs, and coordinate scheduling your medical appointments in the destination country. In addition to that, we handle the travel logistics: booking your flights, arranging accommodations convenient to the hospital, and organizing transportation (like airport pick-up, hospital transfers). We also assist with any necessary travel documents – for example, obtaining a medical visa or providing invitation letters from the medical facility if required. Essentially, GoGlobia acts as a facilitator so you can focus on your health, while we ensure your journey for treatment is smooth and comfortable.
Q: What countries do you offer medical tourism packages for?
A: We offer medical tourism options in several countries that are renowned for their medical facilities and expertise. Popular destinations include India (widely known for advanced surgery and treatment at affordable costs), Turkey (rising in popularity for procedures like transplants and cosmetic surgery with world-class hospitals), and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) (home to high-end medical centers in cities like Dubai and Abu Dhabi). We also facilitate medical travel to South Africa and various countries in Europe (such as the UK or Germany) or North America depending on the treatment required and the client’s preferences. Our network is not limited to a few countries – we continually expand partnerships and can arrange treatment travel to other destinations as needed, provided they have accredited healthcare institutions. When you consult with our medical travel team, we’ll discuss which country and facility is the best fit for your specific medical needs and budget.
Q: Do GoGlobia’s medical tourism services include help with visas and medical appointments?
A: Yes, absolutely. We understand that planning a medical trip involves many extra steps, and we are here to assist you through all of them. Our medical tourism package includes help with the medical visa process for the destination country (some countries require a special visa for medical treatment, and we will provide guidance and any documents from the hospital needed for that). We coordinate directly with the hospital or clinic to schedule your appointments or surgery on dates that work for you. Often, we can arrange an initial consultation with the foreign doctor remotely (via phone or video) if needed, before you travel. Additionally, we make sure you have all necessary paperwork in order — this can include medical reports, referral letters, and proof of financial arrangements if the hospital requires it. During your stay, our local partners or coordinators can assist with any language translation at the hospital and ensure you get to your appointments on time (providing transportation if included in your package). In short, we not only book your travel but also act as a liaison to the medical facility, making your health-focused trip as stress-free as possible.
Educational Travel
Q: What services does GoGlobia offer under Educational Travel?
A: Our Educational Travel services are designed to support students, educators, and academic institutions in their travel needs. This can range from assisting an individual student traveling abroad for studies, to organizing group trips for school tours or academic conferences. Specifically, GoGlobia can help students who have been admitted to universities overseas by handling their flight bookings (often with student-friendly fares or extra baggage allowance where possible), arranging temporary accommodation on arrival, and advising on travel documents (like student visa requirements or health insurance for travel). We also coordinate study tours and school excursion trips – for example, if a school group wants to visit historical sites or attend a cultural exchange program in another country, we manage the travel itinerary, accommodations, local tours, and transportation for the entire group. Essentially, we act as a travel concierge for educational purposes, ensuring safe and well-planned journeys that enrich the students’ learning experiences.
Q: Can GoGlobia assist with travel for students studying abroad or on exchange programs?
A: Yes. We frequently help students who are heading out for study abroad programs or exchange semesters. We know these trips require careful planning – often students are moving overseas for an extended period, possibly for the first time. GoGlobia can arrange one-way or round-trip flights (with flexible return dates if needed, since students might not know their exact return plans), and advise on student discounts that airlines sometimes offer. We also help with extra luggage needs, since students often carry a lot of baggage when moving to campus – we can either find airlines with higher baggage limits or assist in shipping excess baggage via our logistics service. Moreover, we provide guidance on what travel documents the student should have: a valid student visa for the destination country, any enrollment confirmation letters to carry, and proof of accommodation if required by immigration. If requested, we can also arrange an airport pickup service at the destination to take the student from the airport to their campus or accommodation, ensuring a smooth arrival in a new country. Our goal is to make the transition to studying abroad as hassle-free as possible by covering all travel aspects.
Q: Do you organize group educational tours or trips?
A: Definitely. We can organize group travel for educational purposes, such as school field trips, university study tours, or academic delegations attending conferences/competitions abroad. If you have a class or a group that wants to travel, we’ll work with the group leader or institution to plan the itinerary. This includes booking group airfare (we try to get group discounts from airlines when possible), arranging accommodations suitable for groups (like dormitories, hostels or budget hotels, often with group rates), and scheduling educational activities or local tours at the destination. For example, if a class is taking a trip to a foreign country to learn about its culture or history, we can set up museum visits, cultural workshops, or meetings with local schools/universities. We also handle the on-ground transportation – like chartering a bus for the group if needed. Additionally, we’ll ensure the group has all needed documents (e.g., letters for visa applications if required, consent forms for minors, etc.). Our team can provide a chaperone or local coordinator to assist the group during the trip if the school requests it. In short, we offer end-to-end support for educational group travel, prioritizing safety, learning value, and smooth logistics.
Car Rentals & Transportation
Q: How do I book a car rental or transportation service through GoGlobia?
A: Booking a car or transfer with GoGlobia is as straightforward as booking a flight or hotel. On our platform, you can choose the “Car Rentals & Transportation†option (or find it as an add-on after booking a flight/hotel). Enter the location where you need a vehicle – for example, the city or airport – along with the dates and times for pick-up and drop-off. Our system will show you available vehicles from our rental partners in that area, including details like car type, passenger capacity, and price. Select the vehicle that suits your needs (e.g., an economy car for city travel or an SUV for a family trip) and provide the required information such as the driver’s name and contact. If you need a one-way transfer or chauffeur service (like an airport pick-up or drop-off), you can specify that as well – we also offer point-to-point transportation where a professional driver will meet you. After confirming the details, proceed to payment. You’ll receive a booking confirmation/voucher with all the details. For self-drive rentals, bring this confirmation plus your driver’s license when picking up the car. For transfers with a driver, the voucher will usually include meeting instructions (e.g., a driver will meet you at arrivals with your name sign). It’s a seamless process that allows you to secure your ground transportation in advance.
Q: What types of vehicles and transportation options are available?
A: We offer a wide range of vehicle options to match different needs and preferences. For car rentals, you can choose from compact cars (great for budget travelers or couples), sedans, SUVs, vans (suitable for larger groups or families), and even luxury cars in some locations. All rentals come from reputable rental companies that we partner with, and basic insurance is typically included (you will see the details of insurance coverage and have options to add more coverage if needed). Besides traditional self-drive rentals, GoGlobia also provides transportation services with drivers: for example, you can book an airport transfer (a driver will pick you up at the airport and take you to your hotel), or hire a car with a chauffeur for a number of hours or a day if you prefer not to drive yourself. In many tourist destinations, we can also arrange local transport like minibuses or shuttles for sightseeing tours. Essentially, whether you need a simple car rental or a full transportation solution with a driver and larger vehicle, you’ll find multiple options on our platform. Each option will clearly list what’s included, any mileage limits, and other terms so you can make the best choice for your trip.
Q: What are the requirements to rent a car via GoGlobia?
A: The requirements for renting a car through our platform are generally the same as any standard car rental. The primary driver will need to present a valid driver’s license at the time of vehicle pick-up. If you are renting in a country where your license might not be recognized, you may also need an International Driving Permit (IDP) – we recommend obtaining one if you’re renting a car abroad and your license is not in the local language. Most rental companies have a minimum age requirement, usually between 21 and 25 years old depending on the country and car category (drivers under a certain age might incur a young driver surcharge). You will also need a credit card in the driver’s name for the security deposit when picking up the car (the rental company temporarily holds a deposit to cover any incidentals). Before completing the booking on GoGlobia, we’ll inform you of any specific requirements or documents needed for that rental. Also, remember that when you pick up the car, you’ll sign the rental agreement with the local provider – be sure to review their terms regarding fuel, mileage, and insurance. Our customer support can help clarify any requirements if you’re unsure about what you need to rent a vehicle in your chosen destination.
Local Tours, Cultural Packages, and Experiences
Q: What kinds of local tours and cultural experiences can I book through GoGlobia?
A: We offer a rich array of local tours, cultural packages, and experiences to enhance your trips. Through GoGlobia, you can book everything from city sightseeing tours and historical site visits, to cultural workshops and adventure activities. For example, if you’re visiting a new city, you might find guided city tours, museum passes, food tours, or nightlife experiences. In more adventurous destinations, we list activities such as safari tours, hiking excursions, water sports, or wildlife viewing trips. Cultural experiences are also available – these could include things like attending a local festival, participating in a cooking class to learn regional cuisine, or visiting indigenous communities with a knowledgeable guide. We partner with trusted local tour operators and experience providers in various destinations so that you have access to authentic activities. Each experience on our platform comes with a description, duration, inclusions (e.g., if meals or entrance fees are covered), and availability dates. By offering these local experiences, we aim to make your journey more than just transit and accommodation – we help you connect with the destination on a deeper level.
Q: How can I find and book local tours or activities on GoGlobia?
A: You can easily discover local experiences on our platform by browsing the “Tours & Activities†section (or by looking at recommended experiences on a destination’s page if you’ve been searching for flights/hotels to that place). To book an activity, select the tour or experience you’re interested in, and you’ll see available dates and prices. Choose the date (and time slot if applicable), and indicate the number of participants. The page will show any important details or requirements (for instance, age limits for certain activities or whether transportation is included). Add the tour to your cart and proceed to the booking checkout, similar to how you’d book a flight or hotel. You may need to provide participant names for certain bookings, especially if tickets or permits are involved. Once you complete the payment, you’ll get a confirmation voucher with all the details of the tour (including meeting point, contact info of the operator, and what to bring). Make sure to have that confirmation (printed or on your phone) when you arrive for the tour. If you’re already on a trip and decide you want to add an activity last-minute, you can use our mobile-friendly website (or app, if available) to make quick bookings on the go. We strive to make booking experiences as seamless as the rest of your travel plans.
Q: Can I customize a tour or create a special itinerary?
A: Yes, we understand that sometimes you might want a personalized experience. If you don’t find an exact tour that fits your interest or schedule, GoGlobia can help customize a tour for you. We have a network of local guides and tour operators who can tailor activities to your preferences – whether it’s a private city tour just for your group, a specific attraction you want to focus on, or a unique request like a heritage trip to a particular village. To arrange a custom tour, you can contact our customer support or the local tours department with your requirements (such as the destination, what you’d like to see or do, number of people, and dates). We will then coordinate with our partners to design an itinerary just for you and provide you with a quote. Custom tours can range from slight modifications of existing ones (for example, adding an extra stop or extending the duration) to entirely bespoke travel experiences created from scratch. Keep in mind that customized experiences might require a bit more lead time to organize, so try to reach out to us in advance. Our goal is to help you experience the local culture and attractions exactly the way you want, with the convenience and safety of a guided service.
Corporate and Business Travel Services
Q: What services does GoGlobia provide for corporate or business travel?
A: GoGlobia offers a suite of services tailored for corporate and business travel needs. We understand companies require efficient and cost-effective travel management, so our platform and team cater to that in several ways. First, we provide a centralized booking system where your company’s travel coordinator (or individual employees with permissions) can book flights, hotels, and other services under a corporate profile. We can set up corporate rates or discounts with airlines and hotels for frequent travel, helping to reduce costs. We also offer support for implementing your company’s travel policy – for instance, the platform can be configured to show preferred airlines or hotels and ensure bookings stay within allowed budgets. Additionally, our corporate clients get access to a dedicated account manager from GoGlobia’s team who understands your business’s travel patterns and can assist with any special requests or issues. We can consolidate billing and provide monthly or quarterly travel reports to make expense tracking easier for your finance department. For business trips that involve multiple employees (e.g., attending a conference or a team offsite), we help coordinate group travel and ensure everyone’s itineraries are aligned. In summary, our business travel services are about convenience, savings, and personalized support – taking the hassle out of corporate travel management.
Q: Can my company set up a corporate account or credit facility with GoGlobia?
A: Yes, we welcome corporate partnerships. Your company can set up a corporate account with GoGlobia to streamline all your business travel bookings. To do this, you can reach out to our Corporate Sales team (via our website’s corporate inquiry form or by contacting customer support and asking for corporate services). We will discuss your company’s travel volume and requirements, and then create an account that might include special login access for your travel managers or employees. With a corporate account, you may also be eligible for a credit facility or invoicing arrangement – instead of paying individually for each booking by card, we could arrange monthly invoicing or a deposit system where you settle payments on a scheduled basis. This helps with cash flow management and reduces the need for employees to use personal cards for work travel. We’ll also set up your company profile with traveler details (if you have frequent travelers, their preferences can be saved) and any negotiated discounts. Once the corporate account is active, your team can book travel through our platform or via a dedicated corporate concierge line, and all bookings will be tied to your company account for easy tracking. Our aim is to build a long-term relationship with your business and handle your travel needs reliably.
Q: Do you handle business events or group travel for corporate clients?
A: Absolutely. Aside from individual business trips, we assist with planning and managing group travel for corporate events such as conferences, training sessions, company retreats, or client meetings in other locations. We can manage the travel logistics for groups of any size – booking blocks of airline seats, securing group rates at hotels or conference venues, and arranging transportation on-site (like shuttles for event attendees). If your company is hosting an event or participating in an exhibition abroad, we can coordinate travel for all your delegates. We also take care of any special requirements like arranging meeting rooms, audio-visual equipment for presentations, or even team-building activities as part of a retreat package. For international events, we’ll ensure every traveler has the necessary documents (visas, if required) and share a detailed itinerary. Our team has experience in synchronizing travel plans so that groups arrive and depart smoothly and stay organized. By entrusting us with the travel portion of your corporate events, you can focus on the event content and business objectives while we handle the complex logistics.
AI-Powered Personalized Trip Planning
Q: How does GoGlobia’s AI-powered travel planner work?
A: GoGlobia’s AI travel planner is like having a smart virtual travel assistant by your side. It uses advanced algorithms (and artificial intelligence) to help you plan your trip in a personalized way. Here’s how it generally works: when you use our AI planner, you input your travel preferences or goals – for example, you might say “I want to plan a 5-day trip to Kenya for wildlife and beach relaxation†or select criteria like budget, interests (culture, adventure, relaxation), preferred pace, etc. The AI then quickly analyzes countless options (flights, hotels, tour packages, activities) from our database to put together suggestions tailored to you. It can suggest an itinerary – for instance, recommending which city to fly into, which hotels or areas to stay, and what experiences to include each day. It takes into account practical details like travel times and optimizes the schedule so you make the most of your trip. The planner might also offer multiple versions (e.g., a luxury option vs. a budget-friendly plan) for you to consider. You can interact with the planner by tweaking inputs – for example, if you tell it you’d rather add an extra day for shopping, or you prefer a specific airline, it will adjust the plan. The more you use it, the more it learns your preferences over time. Once you’re happy with the suggested plan, you can book the recommended flights, hotels, and activities directly through the links the AI provides. It essentially streamlines the research process and gives you a curated travel plan in minutes, which would normally take hours of browsing to compile. Best of all, it’s integrated into our platform for free – there’s no extra charge to use the AI planner, and it’s there to help anyone from novice travelers to busy professionals plan trips more efficiently and enjoyably.
Q: Do I have to follow the AI trip plan exactly, or can I make changes?
A: The AI trip planner is a tool to assist you – you remain in full control of your travel plans. Think of its suggestions as a helpful starting point. You are free to mix and match parts of the AI-generated itinerary. For instance, if the AI recommends a particular hotel but you have another in mind, you can certainly book your preferred choice instead. The system will typically allow you to customize the plan: you might add an extra activity, remove something you’re not interested in, or shift things around. Our platform’s interface lets you adjust the itinerary and the AI will re-optimize if needed (for example, if you change the hotel location, it might update the travel times for your tours accordingly). There’s no obligation to book everything the AI suggests. Even if you only use the planner to get ideas and then decide to search manually, that’s completely okay. We designed the AI to enhance your planning process by offering suggestions and saving time, but ultimately you can personalize the trip as much or as little as you want. And if you prefer a human touch at any point, our travel experts are always available to review your plan or make additional recommendations.
Q: Is the AI travel planner suitable for complex itineraries, like multi-country trips?
A: Yes, our AI planner is quite robust and can handle complex itineraries, including multi-destination trips. If you’re planning to visit multiple cities or even multiple countries in one trip, you can indicate that in your inputs (for example, “two weeks in Europe visiting Paris, Rome, and Barcelonaâ€). The AI will consider the best routes (it might suggest the optimal order of cities to minimize travel time) and transportation between those places (flights, trains, etc.), as well as recommend things to do in each location. It’s adept at juggling various components – however, very complex or highly customized trips might require some fine-tuning. For extensive itineraries, some travelers use the AI’s plan as a base and then work with our human consultants to refine it. But generally, the AI is designed to scale from simple weekend getaways to longer, multi-stop journeys. Just keep in mind that the more specific and detailed your criteria (dates, exact destinations, special requirements), the better the planner can tailor the result. And as always, you can adjust the suggestions. We are continuously improving the AI with more data and user feedback, so its capability for handling complex trips gets better over time.
Booking Process
Q: How do I book a flight or hotel on GoGlobia?
A: Booking travel on GoGlobia is straightforward. Just follow these general steps:
Search – Start on our homepage (or app) and select what you want to book (Flight, Hotel, etc.). Enter your details: for flights, your origin, destination, dates, and number of passengers; for hotels, your destination, check-in/out dates, and number of guests. Then click the search button.
Choose an Option – Browse through the list of results. You can use filters or sort the results by price, rating, schedule, etc. Once you find a flight or hotel that fits your needs, click on it to see the details (flight times, layovers, hotel room amenities, cancellation policy, and so on).
Enter Traveler Details – Click “Book†or “Continue†for your chosen option. You’ll be prompted to fill in the required information. For flights, this means passenger names (as on ID/passport), dates of birth, and contact details. For hotels, you’ll provide the guest name (the person who will check in) and contact info. If you have a GoGlobia account and are logged in, some of this info might pre-fill for your convenience.
Payment – Next, you’ll go to the payment page. Select your preferred payment method (credit/debit card or other available options) and enter the payment details. All transactions are done over a secure connection to protect your data. Before confirming payment, you’ll see a summary of the booking and the total price, so you can verify everything.
Confirmation – After payment is successfully processed, you’ll receive a confirmation page and reference number on screen. We will also send a confirmation email to the address you provided (or your account email). For flights, this email will contain your e-ticket and booking code; for hotels, it will have a hotel booking confirmation/voucher. Make sure to keep these emails (or print them) as they are your proof of booking. If you have a GoGlobia account, you can also log in and view your upcoming trips or download your tickets/vouchers anytime.
That’s it! The whole process can take just a few minutes. If at any point you encounter an issue or are unsure how to proceed, you can contact our support for immediate assistance, and they will help you complete the booking.
Q: Do I need a GoGlobia account to make a booking?
A: You can make bookings on GoGlobia as a guest, but having an account is recommended for the best experience. Without an account, you can still search and book by just providing an email for confirmation. However, with a free GoGlobia account, you unlock additional conveniences: all your bookings are stored in one place where you can easily view or manage them, you won’t need to re-enter your personal details each time, and you might receive exclusive member offers or loyalty rewards (if applicable). An account also allows you to use our AI travel planner to its fullest, since it can learn from your past trips (with your permission) to give better recommendations. Creating an account is simple – you just need to sign up with an email address or phone number and a password. Rest assured, whether you book as a guest or with an account, your booking will be valid. But an account makes it easier to modify bookings, request support, or see your travel history. We value your privacy and security, so your account data is protected (see our data protection details below). In short, you don’t have to have an account to book, but we highly encourage it for the added benefits and streamlined service.
Q: Can I book multiple services together (for example, flight, hotel, and car rental in one go)?
A: Yes, one of GoGlobia’s strengths is that it’s an integrated platform. You can plan and book various parts of your trip in one place. While each service (flight, hotel, car, etc.) is booked individually, our website is designed to make it easy to add one after the other. For instance, after you book a flight, you’ll often see prompts or recommendations to “Add a Hotel†or “Book a Car Rental†for your destination and dates – you can click those and proceed to book without starting from scratch. Similarly, you can start by booking a hotel and then add a flight or tour. All the bookings will show up in your itinerary or confirmation page. We’re working towards a more unified checkout for combined trip packages, but currently you’ll complete the booking for one service at a time. Even so, it’s very convenient since you don’t need to visit multiple websites; you can arrange your entire trip step by step on GoGlobia. And if you prefer assistance, our support team can also help bundle services for you – just let them know what you need (e.g., “I want to book a flight to Dubai, a hotel in Dubai, and a desert safari tourâ€) and they can guide you through it or handle it for you. In all cases, you’ll get separate confirmations for each service, but you can view them collectively in your account under your trip itinerary.
Q: Where can I find my booking confirmations and travel documents?
A: All your booking confirmations and travel documents are sent to the email address you provided during booking. So the first place to check is your email inbox (and spam folder, just in case) for messages from GoGlobia. The email will contain details of your reservation and any attached documents – for flights, this is usually an e-ticket PDF or code; for hotels, a booking confirmation or voucher; for tours or other services, a ticket or confirmation details. If you have a GoGlobia account, you can also log in and go to the “My Trips†or “Bookings†section. There you’ll see a list of all your current and past bookings. By clicking on a specific trip, you can view the details, download tickets/vouchers, or resend confirmation emails. Additionally, if your booking includes documents like visa invitation letters or insurance (in cases like Hajj packages or medical tourism), those will either be emailed to you or made available in your account for download. If you ever can’t find your confirmation or accidentally deleted the email, don’t worry – just contact our customer support, and we can resend the confirmation and any necessary documents to you. We want to make sure you always have easy access to your travel info.
Payments, Refunds, and Cancellations
Q: What payment methods does GoGlobia accept?
A: We support a variety of payment methods to make it convenient for our customers around the world. The most common way to pay is by credit or debit card (we accept Visa, MasterCard, and American Express, and in many cases Verve or other local cards). Our payment gateway is secure and encrypted for your protection. If you’re in Nigeria or certain other countries, we may also offer local payment options – such as bank transfers, USSD, or mobile money (e.g., MPesa) – during the checkout process. Additionally, we support international payment platforms like PayPal for some transactions. You’ll see all available payment options for your location when you’re on the payment page. All payments are processed in the currency indicated at booking (for example, Nigerian Naira for local bookings or US Dollars for certain international bookings), and you’ll receive an e-receipt by email once the payment goes through. We are continuously working to add more payment methods to accommodate our users, so you can expect a smooth and secure payment experience on GoGlobia.
Q: Can I reschedule or cancel my booking?
A: Yes, we understand that plans can change, and GoGlobia allows rescheduling or cancellation of bookings in many cases – subject to the policy of the service provider (airline, hotel, etc.). Here’s what you need to know:
Flight Bookings: Whether you can change the date or cancel a flight ticket depends on the fare rules of the airline ticket you purchased. Some tickets (usually flexible or higher-tier fares) allow changes or cancellations, often with a fee and any difference in fare. Other tickets, such as many promotional or economy fares, might be non-refundable or have heavy penalties. When booking on GoGlobia, we display the fare rules (like “Refundable†or “Changeable with feeâ€) for your chosen flight. If you need to reschedule, you can go to your booking in our platform and request a change or contact our support team – we will then assist you with the airline’s process and inform you of any applicable charges. For cancellations, if the ticket is refundable, we can process the cancellation and the airline will issue a refund (minus any fees) to your original payment method. If the ticket is non-refundable, we might still help you cancel to get airport taxes refunded if possible (since sometimes the base fare is lost but taxes can be returned).
Hotel Bookings: Hotels also have their own cancellation policies. Some rates are “Free Cancellation†up to a certain date (for example, you can cancel up to 48 hours before check-in without charge), while others are non-refundable from the moment of booking. You can see the cancellation policy when selecting your room on GoGlobia. To cancel or change your hotel booking, you can use the manage booking function or contact us. If you cancel within the allowed period, you’ll receive a refund as per the policy. If you’re past the free cancellation deadline or the booking was non-refundable, the hotel may charge a fee or full price as a penalty. We’ll communicate with the hotel on your behalf to minimize fees where possible.
Tours, Packages, and Other Services: Similar principles apply. Each service has its own change/cancellation rules (for example, a tour might allow date changes up to 24 hours before, or a car rental might be cancelable with no fee if done a day in advance). We always advise checking the specific terms provided at booking.
In all cases, our customer support team is here to help you navigate the rescheduling or cancellation process. Just reach out to us with your booking reference and what changes you need. We’ll clarify any fees or restrictions and do our best to accommodate your request. If a refund is due, we will process it promptly and you’ll receive the amount back to the card or account you originally paid with (refund processing times can vary depending on the payment method, usually a few business days for cards).
Q: How long do refunds take if I cancel a booking?
A: If you cancel a booking and are eligible for a refund, GoGlobia will initiate that refund as soon as the cancellation is confirmed with the service provider. The time it takes for the refunded amount to reflect in your account depends largely on your payment method and financial institution. In general, for credit or debit card payments, refunds typically take about 5 to 10 business days to appear on your card statement. Some banks process faster, and some might take the full two weeks – unfortunately, that part is a bit out of our hands once we’ve issued the refund on our end. For alternative payment methods (like bank transfer or mobile money), the timeline can vary, but it’s often within 3-7 business days. We will send you a notification email when we process the refund, and that email can sometimes be used to follow up with your bank if there’s a delay. If you paid in cash (for instance, if we allowed a cash payment or bank deposit locally), we would coordinate directly with you to return the funds (often via bank deposit). Rest assured, we monitor all refund cases, and if you ever feel a refund is taking too long, you can contact our support and we will help liaise with the payment processor or provider to resolve it.
Q: Are there any fees for cancellations or changes?
A: The fees for cancellations or changes depend on the specific terms of the booking you made. GoGlobia itself does not charge an extra service fee for processing a standard cancellation or change – we facilitate it for you – but the airline, hotel, or provider might impose fees according to their policy. For example, an airline might charge a $50 change fee plus any difference in fare for altering a flight date, or a hotel might keep one night’s charge if you cancel after a deadline. When you book, those terms are usually stated (like “Cancellation Fee: 1 night charge if canceled after X date†or “Change Fee: $50â€). We adhere to those rules when processing your request. In some cases, if you bought additional services like travel insurance or special products, there might be separate conditions for those. We always aim to be transparent about any fees. If you ask to change or cancel a booking, we will inform you clearly of any penalties before finalizing the action. If you proceed, the fee will either be deducted from your refund or charged separately if it’s a change. There are rare scenarios where we might charge a minimal admin fee for very complex itinerary changes that require a lot of manual work, but this is uncommon and would be communicated upfront. Generally, what you need to know is that any fees are dictated by the ticket or reservation rules, and our role is to help minimize them where possible and make sure you’re aware of them.
Customer Support and Assistance
Q: How do I contact GoGlobia customer support if I need help?
A: We’re here to help you 24/7. You can reach GoGlobia’s customer support through several channels:
Phone: Call our support hotline for immediate assistance. (The phone number is listed on our website’s “Contact Us†page and on your booking confirmation emails. We provide local numbers for some regions and an international line.) Phone support is available round the clock, so there will always be someone to answer, whether you’re calling from home or abroad during your trip.
Email: You can send us an email at our support address (for example: support@goglobia.com). This is useful for less urgent inquiries or if you need to send documents regarding an issue. We strive to respond to emails within a few hours at most.
Live Chat: On our website (and mobile app if you’re using it), we have a live chat feature. Just click the chat icon and you can text with a customer service representative in real time. This is great for quick questions while you’re browsing or if you can’t make a call.
Messaging Apps: In some locations, we also offer support via popular messaging apps (such as WhatsApp or Telegram). Check our Contact page for any such options – this allows you to chat with us using an app you already use daily.
No matter which method you choose, our support agents will be able to access your booking details and assist you. Whether you have a question before booking, need to make a change, or require help during your trip, don’t hesitate to reach out. We pride ourselves on friendly and professional support, to give you peace of mind all the way.
Q: What kind of assistance can I expect from GoGlobia during my trip?
A: GoGlobia offers continuous support not just before you travel, but also during your journey. This means if you encounter any issues on the road, you can count on us to help resolve them. For example, if your flight gets delayed or canceled, you can contact us and we’ll assist in finding alternatives or liaising with the airline. If you arrive at your hotel and there’s an unexpected problem (like a reservation issue), our team can speak with the hotel to sort it out swiftly or find you an alternative stay if needed. For travelers using our local tours or transfers, if you can’t find your driver or guide, we’re just a call or message away to connect you. In essence, we act as your advocate in dealing with any travel providers – leveraging our relationships with airlines, hotels, and partners to fix problems so you don’t have to handle it alone. We can also answer general queries while you’re traveling, such as confirming your return flight timing, helping you add a service last-minute (maybe you want to book a return airport transfer the day before your flight home), or providing information like visa rules if your plans change and you want to hop to a new country. Our 24/7 availability is especially handy for travelers in different time zones; even if it’s midnight in a faraway country, if you call us you’ll reach a representative. Think of GoGlobia support as your safety net throughout the trip – we’re monitoring things in the background (sometimes we’ll proactively alert you of a change, like an airline schedule adjustment) and we’re always ready to jump in and assist so you can travel with confidence.
Q: How is my personal data protected on GoGlobia’s platform?
A: We take your data privacy and security very seriously. GoGlobia has implemented robust measures to protect any personal information you share with us. Our website and app use SSL encryption on all pages where you enter personal or payment details – this means your data is scrambled during transmission and cannot be intercepted by unauthorized parties. We do not store sensitive payment information like full credit card numbers on our systems; those are processed through accredited, secure payment gateways that are PCI-DSS compliant (the international security standard for handling card data). For the personal data we do store (such as your name, contact info, passport details if you provide them for visa processing, etc.), we maintain strict access controls – only authorized personnel with a legitimate need can access that information, and they are bound by confidentiality. We also comply with relevant data protection laws (for example, if you’re from the EU or UK, we adhere to GDPR guidelines on data handling). We will never sell or share your personal information with third-party marketers. We only share data with partners as required to complete your bookings (for instance, providing your name to an airline to issue a ticket, or your passport details to a hotel if required by law for check-in, or to a government if needed for visa processing – always on a need basis). Additionally, we give you control over your data: you can ask us to delete your stored personal data or close your account if you wish, in line with legal requirements. Lastly, our platform is regularly tested for vulnerabilities, and we update our security protocols frequently to defend against any cyber threats. In summary, your data’s safety is our priority, and we invest in the latest technologies and practices to ensure your information remains confidential and secure.
