What is Tripbase?
Tripbase is a travel website that gives you unbiased recommendations about where to go and what to do on your next trip based on the things you like. Tripbase provides the information you need about destinations in order to plan your trip - from the best deals on car rentals, flights, hotels and packages across a wide range of websites to information about weather, costs, and tourists seasons. You'll also find great travel guides, user ratings, descriptions, pictures, maps, articles, and up-to-date, personalized recommendations about where to eat, what to see and do while you're there, and the best places to stay.
How do I use it?
Fly or Drive?
Select either "Fly" or "Drive" to indicate whether you prefer to travel via plane or car. Use "Fly" to get average flight costs and hot flight deals on your results page. Use "Drive" to get matching destinations within your driving radius and even an estimate on the driving time and fuel costs.
Destination Finder:
To use the destination finder, either use your mouse to move the green sliders up or down or simply click on the gray square where you want the slider to end. The sliders tell us how important each of the criteria are for you. The further to the right that you position the green slider, the more important it is to you on your trip. If you put the nature slider to the far right and the shopping slider to the far left, for example, Tripbase will generate personalized recommendations that focus on destinations with great nature. For best results, use the sliders to tell us what is most important to you.
Destination Search:
To search for information about a specific destination, just enter the name of the place into the search box and then explore a wealth of information - from flights, hotels, car rentals and package deals across a wide range of top travel search engines to the best-rated hotels, things to see and do, restaurants, travel guides, pictures, descriptions, weather and articles.
