For our services, Withlocals asks a transparent service fee.
For host offers (your own experience), the fee is set at 20% of the total guest price.
For Withlocals Originals experiences, the fee is set at 30% of the total guest price. This fee is higher due to your own video content that will be created for you and due to extra promotional marketing investments to market the experiences.
For Live experiences, the Withlocals fee is set at 30% to cover for the extra costs in terms of hosting servers to facilitate the online experiences technology. This fee will allow us to start providing promotions/discounts to customers to increase bookings, as well as to rank your offers on more partner platforms.
For personalized offers the applicable Withlocals service fees still apply. If the guest is requesting to personalize your host offer or for you to create a fully personalized experience the fee is 20% of the total guest price. If the guest is requesting to personalize a Withlocals Originals experience, the fee is 30% of the total guest price.
Here are some example calculations to help you understand how the fee works:
Your own experience (host offer):
Total guest price (traveler paid price) = EUR 100, including EUR 10 of guest expenses like food cost or entrance ticket.
Withlocals service fee of 20% = EUR 20
Amount you receive = EUR 80
The income you generate = EUR 70 (the amount you receive minus EUR 10 of guest expenses)
Withlocals Originals:
Total guest price (traveler paid price) = EUR 100, including EUR 10 of guest expenses like food cost or entrance ticket.
Withlocals service fee of 30% = EUR 30
Amount you receive = EUR 70
The income you generate = EUR 60 (the amount you receive minus EUR 10 of guest expenses)
Withlocals keeps the right to adjust the % of the fee for marketing purposes as launching campaigns and other promotions.
