Split travel costs with a plan everyone can see

A split travel costs app gives your group one place to record shared spending and settle balances without a separate collection of messages. HolidayWow places the trip budget beside the map-first plan, connecting each expense to the accommodation, tour, transport, or other part of the trip it supports. The budget uses your home currency, CAD for this Canadian plan, so the people organizing a vacation can work in a familiar currency.

You can share one link that opens the same trip for everyone. Viewers can follow the itinerary and group costs, while editors can make changes. Group members can comment and vote, which gives everyone a clear place to raise a question about a purchase or a proposed plan change. The result is a shared record of who paid what, instead of relying on a single organizer to remember every receipt.

Imagine a group planning Hawaii in July. The climate record for this example gives a daytime temperature of 28 °C, a night temperature of 25 °C, a sea temperature of 26 °C, 10 sunshine hours, and 10 rain days. You can use those details when deciding how to pace the days, then place the budget beside the activities and stays in the plan.

From Toronto, Hawaii is 7,464 km away, while from Vancouver it is 4,342 km away. Those live distance details help each traveller understand the trip context without freezing changing travel information into the page. The group can compare the itinerary, vote on purchases, and keep shared costs visible in CAD while each person reviews the trip from home.

Use one shared currency for the group and record each payment as it happens. HolidayWow provides a trip budget in your home currency, plus cost splitting for groups. This gives the group a consistent place to review spending and settle who paid what after reservations, transport, meals, and activities are organized.

Price watch is available for stays and tours. Since partner prices can change, the plan can show the live price or provide a “Check live price” button. Your group can review the current choice before making a decision, while the page avoids presenting a written price as a fixed quote. The plan remains the reference for the trip and its costs.

Canadian travellers often coordinate vacations around March break, summer vacation, Christmas break, stat holidays, and long weekends. HolidayWow includes a Long Weekend planner for Canada that uses public holidays and leave days from official holiday data to help turn available time into a longer trip. A typical 10-day leave period can shape how a group chooses its dates and pace.

You can begin with a month and add dates later, or include dates from the start. Once dates are present, the day cards can show the weekday, live weather, and live prices. The same plan can also become a short trip film on the map, with the flight arc, bases, and each day ready to share.
