Generally speaking, travel agencies (Westerly included) make money from commissions paid by suppliers like hotels and tour companies. If we curate a trip using components that are not commissionable, we may negotiate a flat or hourly fee for our time.

We collect your credit card information with a secure form that we email to you and store your information in a secure and PCI compliant system. We make payments to suppliers on your behalf, always notifying you before sending any payments.

Most travel suppliers will take all major credit cards. We can also facilitate wire transfers when necessary. Westerly is an Uplift partner as well. Let us know if you would like to use Uplift to finance your trip.
