Why should you use a Travel Advisor?
One of the many questions Travel Advisors will get is “why should we book with you?”, and that’s honestly a really good question! Here are some frequently asked questions that we hope will put you at ease when considering utilizing our services.
Let’s get right to it: Why should you use a Travel Advisor?
To start, the vast majority of our services are free to you. Yes, free.
Truly.
Our industry partners (cruise lines, hotel companies, transportation services, etc.) pay our commission so we’re truly in it for nothing but the best experience for you, our traveler.
What would be an instance where services wouldn’t be free?
While this isn’t an exhaustive list (check with your individual Travel Advisor for additional information), times where our services may not be free are when we are only doing research/planning, only booking flights, or if we are researching/planning/booking an extensive trip/vacation that takes a significant amount of time.
Can’t I just book with my credit card company?
Yes, you can; we can’t tell you that isn’t an option for you. But, there are advantages to booking with Travel Advisors that you won’t necessarily get booking through your credit card companies! For example, Fora Travel, our host agency, has worked exclusive Fora Perks with some of our partners which could include things like hotel/food and beverage credit, spa credit, including breakfast, and more!
Can I still receive loyalty points if I book through you?
Yes! Our job isn’t to take anything away from you, but to get you more. In addition to us doing the heavy lifting for you, you will be able to have your hotel loyalty numbers added to your reservations so you can keep receiving awards through your favorite brands.
Where can you book me?
The simple answer is: “anywhere you want to go”. While we are based in the Heartland of the United States, Travel with Pride is here to book you anywhere you’d like to go in the world.
Quick trip to New York? Done.
Vacation in Charleston? Easy.
First cruise? Let’s get you sailing!
Dream vacation to Europe or beyond? Ciao, and safe travels!
Chartering a private plane? No, seriously, we can arrange that for you!
We have connections with hotels, resorts, and more all throughout the world. Fora has built an extensive network of partners in every industry. And if you are looking to add car service for any of your trips — even if it’s just from your home to the airport — we’ve got you there, too.
