Trust & safety

Travel boldly. We've got your back.

Detour Global is built on trust between travelers and the local Detour Insiders who host them. Here's how we protect both sides.

Every Detour Insider completes an interview, identity verification, and a background check before going live.

Payments are held in escrow until your experience is complete. No cash exchanges required.

Our travel team is on-call across time zones whenever you're on the road.

Reviews are only collected from verified bookings. No paid placements, no fake stars.

Every booking is covered by our traveler protection policy up to $10,000.

Detour Insiders set their own rates and keep 85% of every booking. Tourism that gives back.
