Frequently Asked Questions.

What’s this gonna cost me?

is freewheeling free?

Process and PaymentS

To send you freewheeling to a surprise destination, we charge a simple service fee of $200. The fee helps us to customize our freewheeling flights based on your individual preferences and experiences, and also gives us time to provide your surprise wrapped up neatly and with some ideas for fun things to do in the area!

Provide us more about your travel goals in this form:

We’ll contact you to set up a brief phone call (plan for 15 minutes), where we’ll chat through your budget and interests. We want to get a sense of what kind of destination will bring you the most joy! We’ll also talk about dates of travel and when exactly you’d like to receive your surprise.

After we chat, we’ll get into research mode and find flights to a place we think you’ll love!

We’ll send you a confirmation code and the details of the cost of the flight + service fee. You’ll have 24 hours to confirm your flight by paying in full on our secure site.

We’ll send your surprise FREEWHEEL FLIGHT DOC on a timeline you’re comfy with!

(in other words, we’ll tell you your surprise destination whenever you want it. For the most freewheeling adrenaline rush, we recommend finding out on the day you leave so you can open the DOC at the airport!)

Note: all freewheel travel services DO NOT INCLUDE LODGING.***

*** This is the point of freewheeling: You book your own lodging and activities, thus choosing your own adventure and living in the moment once you get your surprise flights!

 

How will we get there?

Transportation Options

Most of the time, we’ll book you a flight to your destination. If you’re opposed to flying, your budget doesn’t have space for flights, or you’d simply like to try something new, there are lots of other ways to go on an adventure. Let us know if you don’t want to fly, but still want to feel the thrill of freewheeling, we’ll figure something out!

 

What’s a FREEWHEEL FLIGHT DOC?

We Give ideas, You DO WHAT FEELS RIGHT

The FREEWHEEL FLIGHT DOC delivers your surprise and also provides some ideas about things to see in the area of your surprise destination. Along with the details on your flights, it includes photos and links to places or things we think you won’t want to miss!

If you’d like, we can recommend a place to stay that we think you’ll like in your budget, but we will NOT BOOK YOUR LODGING.***

*** Why we don’t book “surprise” lodging for you:

1. Finding a place to call “home” in a surprise destination is one of the keys to freewheeling!

2. Good sleep is key to enjoying the days. You know best where you’ll be able to rest.

3. Trust us, you will have fun with this part! Even if you wait to get your surprise on the day you travel!

 

How will we get around while we’re there?

Rental Car, Bikes, Public Transportation

We’ll give you the option to have a rental car booked ahead of time. Many freewheelers like to play this part by ear — depending on where they end up, they may take rideshare/taxi, public transportation, walk, or rent a bike.

That being said, sometimes it’s nice to have the assurance of a decently priced rental car ready for you when you land! If you’d like we’ll make a reservation for you and include it in your FREEWHEEL FLIGHT DOC at no extra cost. You’ll pay when you pick up the car at the agency.

 

Where will we sleep?

Lodging

You get to book your own lodging*** after we reveal your surprise destination in your FREEWHEEL FLIGHT DOC!

***Why we want you to book your own place to stay:

1. Finding a place to call “home” in a surprise destination is one of the keys to freewheeling!

2. Good sleep is key to enjoying the days. You know best where you’ll be able to rest.

3. Trust us, you will have fun with this part! Even if you wait to get your surprise on the day you travel!

 

What will we do?

Activity and Relaxation

Most freewheelers like to find their flow of activity and relaxation on their own once they arrive somewhere.

If you’d like us to, we can reserve or book one activity, tour, concert, or spa service for you if there’s something very specific you know you’ll want to do. The fee for this concierge reservation service is $50 per person per activity.

 

Can my kid freewheel too?

Family Friendly Freewheeling

What better way to bond with your kiddos than to experience some surprise and explore new places together?! Let us know if you’re planning to bring anyone under the age of 18 on your freewheeling adventure so we can tailor our recommendations to be fun for everyone.

 

Can I get a hint?

I want to know what to pack…

“Degree of Surprise”

Some people prefer the element of TOTAL surprise and want their surprise destination on the day of departure.

If that’s not you, let us know, we can deliver your surprise at any time you’re comfortable with.

Another option if you’d like the actual destination to be a last minute surprise, but want to know what to pack, we can give you a hint at any point. We can tell you what activities or weather you might find at your surprise destination and let you know if you need to pack a parka or sandals.

 

Can I tell you where I do not want to go?

Location Preferences & Your “DO Not Fly List”

We understand that there are some places you simply cannot or will not visit. Whether it be for spiritual reasons, personal safety, or because you’ve already been there a million times, we absolutely respect your wishes to avoid certain places. We’ll ask you for a list of specific places you don’t want to go before we book anything.
