Medlife vs Not Just Travel: Which Homeworking Model Is Right for You?

So, you’re thinking about becoming a home-based travel agent in the UK. You’ve likely heard of Not Just Travel(they’re everywhere), and maybe you've just discovered Medlife Holidays — the new(ish) kid on the block doing things a bit differently.

They both offer home working travel agent models, but which one’s actually right for you?

Let’s skip the fluff and get straight to the stuff that matters: cost, commission, support, training, and how they really treat you once you’ve signed on the dotted line.

Here’s your no-nonsense guide to Medlife vs Not Just Travel in 2025.

Let’s start with what hits your bank account first.

Verdict:
Medlife’s pricing is transparent and realistic — you’re not asked to fork out thousands or finance a franchise. Not Just Travel focuses heavily on “investing in yourself” — which sounds nice until you see the upsell slide

You want to know what you’ll earn when you sell that dream Maldives honeymoon or the classic Lanzarote weekender

Verdict:
Medlife pays 70–80% of what they receive from tour operators. No complicated tiers. No mystery spreadsheets. Just straight-up earnings. NJT's exact percentages are harder to pin down — and often tied to which level you paid for.

👉 Learn how Medlife commission works

Let’s be honest: a slick “academy” doesn’t mean it’s good training. What you need is up-to-date, results-driven content that helps you get bookings.

Verdict:
Medlife training is focused on what actually gets you bookings in the real world — content marketing, Instagram, systems. NJT tends to lean more towards motivation, vision boards, and business mindset. Nothing wrong with that… but it won’t help you get your first client on Instagram.

Here’s where things really start to separate.

You’re starting a business — you want to know someone’s there when you hit a tech snag or need help chasing a supplier.

Verdict:
Medlife’s support is lean, fast, and personal. You’re not customer #453. You’ll be known by name, and you’ll get practical help — not just “visualise your success” messages.

Let’s be really clear about what Medlife doesn’t offer — on purpose:

❌ No £10k “elite” courses you’ll be upsold every 6 weeks

❌ No pressurised sales culture

❌ No hidden upgrade paths to get the “real” tools

❌ No false promises about earning six figures in 90 days

You get the tools. You get the training. Then you build your business — your way.

• You want to build your own brand, not someone else’s

• You prefer modern tools over motivational fluff

• You don’t want to spend £5k+ before your first booking

• You value commission clarity and real business support

• You love structured group motivation

• You have the budget to invest heavily up front

• You’re happy with someone else’s branding

• You like regular in-person networking events

There’s no one-size-fits-all here — but it’s important to know what each model actually offers beneath the surface.

If you’re a self-starter who wants flexibility, clarity, and support to build a real travel business from home — Medlife is a strong, modern choice.

If you prefer a franchise-style setup with more structure, personal development, and a higher upfront cost — Not Just Travel may suit you better.

Either way, don’t jump in based on Instagram ads alone. Compare. Ask questions. And build the business you want — not the one they think you should.
