Quick takeaways
- Booking with an agent doesn’t cost more. Supplier prices already include the agent’s commission.
- Agents can access pricing and perks, like onboard credits, that you may not find online, plus monthly payment plans at no extra cost.
- Specialists, like our College of Disney Knowledge graduates, know the details that make a trip run smoothly.
- If something goes wrong, you make one call and we handle it, from the day you book until you’re home.
Let’s be honest, it is tempting to book your own trip. The internet has provided a ton of sites dedicated to selling hotels and flights, so why on earth would you use the services of a Travitude Travel Group agent when you can do it yourself?
Does using a travel agent cost more?
“Using a travel agent is going to cost me more money, right?” Wrong! When you book online, all the pricing you see includes the built-in commission that would be paid to an agent. When you book directly with the supplier (i.e., Disney, Transat, Royal Caribbean®, Sandals, etc.), they will pocket that commission while you do all the work yourself. If you use an agent, we do all the heavy lifting, sourcing different options for you while saving you hours of research. In return, you are supporting a small business instead of leaving money in the hands of a large company. Plus, a travel agent can give you access to deals you might not find on your own.
In fact, we can help you save money because we have built relationships with our suppliers and we are privy to pricing not offered by online vacation sites. Beyond the price of the trip, we can often get extra perks from the suppliers like insider tours, or onboard ship credits. Plus, we offer the ability for you to make monthly payments towards your trip – at no additional cost! Something you cannot do when you book online yourself!
You can spend hours researching a location, resorts, or flights. And with so much to choose from, it can quickly become confusing or overwhelming and you don’t always get the answers to questions you may have. Our experience means we can have the answers for you either off the top of our heads or with a quick call to our suppliers. We may even have tips for questions you never even thought to ask!

More than just a booking
Those online booking websites might seem easy peasy, one click and voila! You are booked for your new adventure! But, do you know what documentation you need? Do you know what vaccinations may be required? Do you have enough insurance? Many people are surprised to learn their coverage doesn’t go far enough when traveling, especially overseas. We go over all the options and requirements so you will truly be ready! Our travel consultants are full service, which means we are not just booking your trip, but we are able to provide assistance with all aspects, from your pre-hotel stay, airport parking, excursions, and more!
Advisor tipNot sure your insurance goes far enough? Ask us to review your coverage before you travel, especially for trips overseas.

We are only a phone call or click away! Lost luggage? Missed flight? What do you do? If you booked with a travel consultant you only need to make one call and we will do everything we can to help fix it. We are with you from the moment you book until you arrive back home. Booking with a Travitude Travel Group travel agent is literally booking peace of mind.
The only thing you need to do is decide on which outfits you want to pack!
