Quick answer:A travel agent invoice asks a client to pay for a trip you've booked. It should list each booking by supplier (flights, hotels, tours, transfers) with the dates, booking reference and cost, show your service fee on its own line, take off any deposit already received, and give the amount due and a final payment due date set ahead of the suppliers' deadlines. This page's free travel booking invoice comes as a blank print-and-fill PDF and as Word and Excel files filled in with sample values. Some US states, including Florida, Washington and Hawaii, require travel sellers to register or be licensed.

What a travel agent invoice is for

A travel agent invoice asks your client to pay for a trip you've booked for them. It lists each part of the trip by supplier (flights, hotels, tours, transfers) with the booking reference and cost, adds your own service fee, takes off any deposit the client has already paid, and shows the amount due and the date it's due.

It sits between two other documents. Before the client commits, you send a quote or proposed itinerary with prices that can still change. After they pay, you send a receipt. The invoice is the request for payment in between, and often comes in two rounds: one for the deposit when you book, and one for the balance before the final payment deadline.

The invoice doesn't replace the suppliers' own documents. E-tickets, hotel confirmations and tour vouchers come from the airline, hotel or operator. Quote their booking references on your invoice so the client can match each charge to what they received.

What's on the travel booking invoice

  • Travel agency details, including a field for your seller of travel registration number if your state requires one
  • Invoice details: invoice number, invoice date, your booking reference, payment terms and the final payment due date
  • Bill to: the lead traveler who is paying, with their address and contact details
  • Trip: the travelers' names, the destination, and the departure and return dates
  • Itinerary: one line per booking, with the item and its dates, the supplier, the supplier's booking reference, the quantity, the unit price and the amount
  • Agency fees: your planning or booking fee in its own section, with the basis it's charged on (for example, per traveler)
  • Subtotal, "Sales tax on agency fees, if applicable", the total, "Less: deposit received" and the amount due
  • How to pay: accepted methods, with placeholders for your account name and bank details, and the payment reference to quote
  • Booking terms notes, and a reminder to check that each traveler's name on the bookings matches their passport

Supplier costs and your service fee

Keep what goes to suppliers separate from what you charge for your own work. Clients can then see what the airline, hotel or tour operator charged and what they're paying you, and it's easier to deal with a refund or change on one booking without reworking the whole invoice.

  • Supplier costs. List each booking at the amount the client is paying for it. If a supplier charged the client's card directly, don't bill that amount again; leave it off, or mention it in the notes for reference.
  • Service fee. Put your planning or booking fee in the agency fees section, with the basis you charge it on, such as per traveler or per booking. If it's non-refundable, tell the client before you book and repeat it in the booking terms.
  • Tax on your fee. Whether your service fee is subject to sales tax depends on your state, so check your state's rules. The template's "Sales tax on agency fees, if applicable" line applies only to the agency fees section, not to the supplier costs; in the Excel file its rate cell starts at 0%. Leave it at 0% if no tax applies, but don't delete the row, because the totals refer to it.
  • Commissions. Commission a supplier pays you is between you and that supplier. It normally doesn't appear on the client's invoice; just make sure the prices you show are what the client is actually paying.
  • Group trips. For a group paying through one organizer, bill the organizer as the lead traveler, and add a per-person breakdown in the booking terms or as separate lines if they need to collect from each traveler.

Deposits, final payment and cancellation terms

Suppliers set their own deposit amounts, final payment dates and cancellation penalties, and they differ from booking to booking. Your invoice has to fit inside them:

  • Final payment due date. Set it ahead of the earliest supplier deadline in the trip, with enough time for you to pass the money on. If the client pays late, you shouldn't end up paying a supplier out of your own funds or losing the booking.
  • Deposit received. When the deposit was paid at booking, enter it on the "Less: deposit received" line below the total, so the amount due is the remaining balance, and add the date it was paid to the booking terms. To request a deposit before booking, send a separate deposit invoice first.
  • Cancellation terms. Each supplier's own change and cancellation rules apply to its booking. Send the client a copy, and use the booking terms to point to them and to anything that affects the client, such as a non-refundable fare, plus your own policy on your service fee. These are business terms, so agree them in writing before you take payment.
  • What happens if payment is late. Say on the invoice that suppliers may cancel the bookings if final payment isn't received by the due date, as the sample's booking terms do.

Seller of travel registration

Some US states require travel sellers to register or be licensed before selling to the public, and the rules can apply to agencies based in another state. For example:

  • Florida. The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services says sellers of travel must register with it every year unless exempt. That covers sellers with a business location in Florida and those that offer to sell travel services in Florida. Each advertisement must include the phrase "Fla. Seller of Travel Reg. No.", and contracts must state that the business is registered with the State of Florida as a seller of travel, with its registration number.
  • Washington. The Washington State Department of Licensing says you must be licensed to run a business that sells or advertises travel services. If you hold clients' money for retail travel services for more than five business days, you also need a financial guarantee: a trust account, a surety bond or a professional association membership.
  • Hawaii. Travel agencies are licensed through the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs under chapter 468L of the Hawaii Revised Statutes, which includes a client trust account requirement.

Other states have their own rules, and requirements change, so check with the agency in your state and in any state where you offer to sell travel. If you're registered, putting the registration number in your invoice header next to your business details is an easy way to keep it on your paperwork.

How to fill in the travel agent invoice

  1. Add your agency's details and registration number, if you have one, then the invoice number, invoice date, booking reference, payment terms and final payment due date.
  2. Under "Bill to", enter the lead traveler. Under "Trip", list every traveler, the destination and the departure and return dates.
  3. Add one itinerary line per booking: the item and its dates, the supplier, the supplier's booking reference, the quantity and the unit price.
  4. Add your fee in the agency fees section, with the basis you charge it on.
  5. Set the sales tax rate on agency fees, or leave it at 0% if no tax applies. In Word or on the PDF, write the rate into the label and enter the amount yourself.
  6. Enter the deposit received (with the date it was paid in the booking terms) and check that the amount due equals the total less the deposit.
  7. Fill in "How to pay" and the booking terms, check each traveler's name against their passport, then send the invoice and keep a copy.

The PDF is a blank form for printing and filling in by hand. The Word and Excel files have the same layout with sample values filled in, which you overwrite for each trip. The Excel file works out the line amounts, subtotals, tax, total and amount due with formulas.

If you invoice in Billed, clients can pay online by card or PayPal, you can invoice in multiple currencies for travelers abroad, and Billed can send automatic reminders for overdue invoices and a payment receipt after each online payment.

When this isn't for you

This isn't the right document before the client has committed (send a quote or proposed itinerary instead), or after they've paid (send a receipt). If you're a tour guide billing for a tour you lead, the tour guide invoice fits better. If your booking platform or host agency issues client invoices for you, use theirs so the figures match its records.
