You do not have to pay to start planning your trips with Furkot. That said, we do offer Furkot Pass: an exclusive access to selected features. You can get your Furkot Pass as a reward for booking through Furkot, or helping us improve Furkot. You can also support Furkot by purchasing the pass valid for 1 year for $14.

Most travel plans involve reserving a lodging, booking a flight, renting a car, or buying a guidebook. If you let Furkot direct you to vendors partnering with us to make a reservation or buy a product, we'll give you a free Furkot Pass as a reward. If your trip doesn't require any service available through Furkot, you have an option to buy the pass.

Even if you are not eligible for a free Furkot pass as a reward, you can try features available to pass holders for free before you purchase your Furkot Pass. In this way you can decide whether a feature meets your needs before you make a payment. Once your trial period is over, Furkot will offer you an option to purchase the pass when you access the feature available exclusively to pass holders.

We wouldn't be able to develop Furkot without active involvement of its users. We want to express our gratitude by offering free Furkot Passes in return. Report an issue, feature us on your blog, contribute to translation; do any of the above and contact us to receive your free Furkot Pass.

Furkot wouldn't exist without the underpinning of open source and data projects. If you are Furkot user and a contributor to an open source or data project that we use in Furkot, contact us and we'll send you a free Furkot Pass as a token of our gratitude.

As we keep adding new features to Furkot, some of them will only be available to pass holders. Your Furkot Pass will automatically include new features.

Furkot makes money by collecting commission when you make a booking or a purchase while planning your trip or when you purchase your Furkot Pass. We don't employ any methods of monetizing traffic or selling data. If your trip doesn't require any service available through Furkot, Furkot will remain free for you as long as your use is sporadic and your demand of Furkot resources remains modest. If you continue to exercise Furkot features considerably, we will ask you to contribute by purchasing [Furkot Pass]. Without Furkot Pass you can continue to view your trip, but you will not be able to modify it.

The exact terms governing Furkot Pass can be found here.

How to enable Furkot Pass ¶

Get Furkot Pass as a Reward ¶

Furkot partners with booking and vendor sites to offer you options to reserve lodgings, book flights, rent cars, and buy guidebook for your trip. For directing you to the booking and vendor sites, they pay us commission in a form of a small fee every time you end up making a reservation or purchase. That money is not added to your bill. When starting your booking or purchase on Furkot you are paying exactly the same price as if you went to the booking or vendor site directly.

As we receive commission for the reservation or purchase that you made through Furkot, we will present you with an option to claim your free Furkot Pass when you try to use one of the features available exclusively to Furkot Pass holders.

You can also check if you are eligible for a reward and claim your free Furkot Pass if you are here.
