I am getting a lot of questions which have to do with price differences between online companies like expedia and travel agencies like ours.
Very often customers will see a great deal that they find online but find out very quickly that they have to pay for it right away. For example, I had a customer yesterday who just insisted that we give her the same price she sees online but only had enough money to put a deposit down. We had to explain to her that we could could give her the same online price but she has to pay right away. She became very frustrated, and just couldn't seem to understand why this happens. Unfortunately it comes down to money; the big online megastores want your money now because they need it now, and when that happens consumers suffer because they do not get the service to back up the travel purchace. In other words if you have the cash right now and you can pay right now you can get a really good deal and we offer the same deals the online companies do dollar for dollar and sometimes cheaper but we give you service too. You can get the same prices and get the value of the service that we offer at the same time so it's a win-win situation and a partial win for the muti nationals :).
Additionally, (like of the woman I was just talking about above) when you're on a budget that's just not an option, with a company like ours you can put a small deposit down and then pay over time for your trip as money becomes available. In my opinion it's better to put a deposit down if it's not that much more money or the same price and deal with and human being and that way be able to protect your money and your trip. The money is much better working for you, gaining interest in your account, then a mega-multi-national Corp. like Expedia and Travelocity etc. With us very often you can put a deposit down and we still can beat the mega online prices so certainly get in touch with us and let's compare notes and see if we can help you to save money and give you the service you need at the same time.
