Launched in November 2007, Charity Travel is a different kind of travel website.

We're passionate about travel and donating money to good causes and we are unique in the online travel world.

Our difference is that 50% of the money Charity Travel earns is donated to worthy causes, that's 50p for every £1 we receive. The other 50% is reinvested in the site for marketing and expenses. And, in time, our goal is for 85% of the money we earn to be given away.

You make a difference just by using Charity Travel and it's absolutely free and independent, so you're certain to get the best possible price compared to other online travel agencies, in short, we don't favour one airline over another. Once you find a suitable flight, hotel or car hire choice, click on the price or the provider and you will be connected instantly to their website to complete your booking. Please make sure you double-check the details.

NB: Bookings are made directly with the airlines, travel providers or companies listed and selected by you. Charity Travel does not collect fares or payments or add charges or add agent's commission or donations to the quoted price. It is completely free.

Using a model like all the major search engines, the site earns advertising revenue on a pay-per-click basis (PPC) from over 140 of the world's major airlines and online travel companies, leading hotels and international car hire companies.

Most people ask where does the money go? As there are so many worthy causes, and over 168,000 of them, it would be impossible to include them all, so we have thought long and hard and come up with 4 priorities:

- The Environment
- People living with HIV and AIDS
- Human Rights
- People and families whose lives have been affected by cancer

We see this as a new and innovative way of raising money for charity through online business with the benefits returned to charity and we're the only travel website that donates money this way. We are constantly updating and improving ways to get more money to charity.

The travel search engine technology on Charity Travel is powered by Kayak, the world's leading travel search engine and we are very grateful for their support. After you have selected your departure airport and destination and dates, the search engine sets of to list in real-time the prices and choices available from over 140 major airlines, popular online travel agencies, more than 145,000 hotels and all the leading car hire companies. 8 out 10 times, the fares and prices we source for you will be lower than those from some of the best known travel websites. We say this with total confidence as we've run countless searches ourselves on flights to hundreds of well known and not so well known destinations all over the world and at different times of the year. Please try us and see it work for yourself.

We would all like to make a difference and, with your support, Charity Travel can become the best known travel site on the net. With millions of flights taken each year, 56 million in 2006, you can see that it only takes a small percentage of people booking via Charity Travel to make that difference. Remember, you'll be saving money and helping good causes. And don't forget, it's free.

I hope you enjoy using the site and book your next flight with Charity Travel.

Most important of all, if we win you over, please don't keep us a secret, our success and the amount of money we give away relies on your referrals as traditional advertising routes are often too expensive to be viable.
