Why Book With Us

Costara was created to give members access to better-value travel through member-only pricing and preferential hotel rates.


Although Costara is a new platform, it is backed by the same company behind Travelplanners, a UK travel business that has been selling holidays for over 40 years. Our lower prices are from preferential rates offered by hotels and suppliers, which are not available on standard public booking sites.


One of our first customers booked a hotel in Zanzibar for £1,487, compared with over £3,000 at a popular hotel site for the same hotel room and dates. Another saved £150 on a three-night stay at a five-star hotel in Portugal.


Package holidays booked through us are ATOL protected and ABTA bonded. You can also speak to our UK-based customer service team before and after booking
