Questions about Vamigo

Vamigo is a solo traveller app for India. You pick a destination and get matched into a small, verified crew of 3 to 5 people who travel the way you do. The plan locks within 72 hours, so the trip actually happens.

No. Vamigo is trips first. Each crew has one intent that everyone picked: Friends only, or Open to sparks. You only see crews that match your intent, so nobody is surprised.

You tell us your pace, daily rhythm, budget and the role you usually play on a trip. Vamigo ranks crews by how well you fit and shows the reason on every card, including where your styles differ.

Most crews are 3 to 5 people, small enough for one cab, one table and one homestay. Bigger groups of 6 or more are available for road trips and shared villas.

Three kinds of crews: Vamigo departures at verified stays, organised trips from verified organisers, and crews hosted by travellers who have completed at least one trip. New members can join but not host.

Yes, after you complete 2 crew trips with good ratings. Starting in groups keeps first trips safer for everyone.

A refundable ₹999 deposit that locks your seat. It is held in escrow and goes toward your share of the trip. You get it back in full if the crew does not lock, or if you cancel 7 or more days before.

You can hold up to 3 requests, but only one confirmed trip per date range. When you lock a seat, your other requests for those dates are withdrawn automatically.

Vamigo offers to merge it with a similar crew going to the same place that week, moves you to a Vamigo departure, or refunds your full deposit.

Every member is verified with Aadhaar and a live selfie. You can choose women-only crews, rooms are separate by default, and every trip has live location for the crew, night check-ins and SOS.

You verify through DigiLocker and take a live selfie that is matched to your ID. Your Aadhaar number is never stored or shown, and ID photos are deleted after review. Until you verify, nobody can see your profile.

Your first name, age, city, work and badges such as ID verified, LinkedIn verified, Super traveller and Great crewmate. Ratings are private and only shown as a combined score.
