Google Forms works for surveys. It doesn't work for trip signups. TheClubTrip gives you signups, payments, car arrangements, and emergency contacts — purpose-built for clubs.
Google Forms is a general-purpose survey tool. It can't collect payments, assign cars, generate emergency contact lists, or send emails to participants. Every trip, you create a new form, manually track responses in a spreadsheet, and chase people for money separately. TheClubTrip replaces all of that with one link per trip.

Collect trip fees by card during signup via Stripe. No separate payment step, no chasing people on Venmo. Funds go directly to your club's bank account.
See who has vehicles and seats. Assign passengers to cars and email everyone their ride details — something no Google Form can do.
Medical info and emergency contacts collected at signup. Generate and email the full list to your safety officer before any trip.
Each trip gets its own signup page with all the details. Share the link and participants see everything — dates, costs, capacity, and the signup form — in one place.
