DO YOU PROVIDE ASSISTANCE BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER VACATION?

You're absolutely right-having a clear understanding of what a travel agent can and can't assist with before you go is crucial and brings a piece of mind. Depending on booking, can handle unexpected issues such as flight cancelations or booking changes. Can assist with more serious emergencies, like medical, may vary. It is wise to have travel insurance and emergency contacts lined up just in case not able to provide the support needed.

HOW CAN I PAY FOR THE TRIP?

Depending on the travel vacation provider and the time the vacation is booked, you may have to pay in full or may even have options to break payments up into installments.

DO I NEED TRAVEL INSURANCE?

Normally, the answer to this question is yes. Some countries may even require that you have certain insurance coverage before traveling. It is great to have just in case you become ill and need medical attention, your luggage is lost or stolen. or car rental damage for example. Purchasing vacation insurance coverage can provide a peace of mind and ensure you're properly protected while traveling.

WHAT IS YOUR CANCELATION POLICY?

Knowing the cancellation policies for every aspect of your trip is crucial to avoid unexpected costs or hassles. Travel plans are often subject to change, so understanding your options for refunds, rescheduling, or penalties can save you a lot of stress.

For flights, hotels, and activities, these policies can differ widely. For instance, some airlines may allow free cancellations or offer a credit for future flights within a limited time, while others may charge hefty fees or offer no flexibility at all. Hotels and resorts may have more lenient cancellation windows, but this can vary depending on whether you book a flexible rate or a non-refundable one. Activities, like tours or excursions, often have their own policies, with some offering full refunds if canceled well in advance and others only allowing changes with less than 24 hours' notice.

If you're booking a vacation package, it's especially important to get the specifics on how cancellations or changes to one component (like a flight) might affect the others. Always request clear terms in writing and ask about any potential fees for changing or canceling the entire trip or individual bookings. With this information upfront, you can make informed decisions and avoid unpleasant surprises.

ARE THERE ANY ADDITONAL COST THAT I NEED TO BE AWARE OF?

This can depend on your vacation purchased. You maybe responsible for flight, additional hotel/resort accommodation, activities, transportation, passport, visas and any other additional fees that are outside of the purchased travel package. As your travel agent, will do my best to research and provide information toward additional cost, when information available, but as always do your own research as well.

WHAT TRAVEL DOCUMENTS DO I NEED WHILE VACATIONING?

This can vary but would highly recommend that your state/driver license is prepare for real id. for traveling internationally make sure your passport is up to date. If any visas are needed make sure they purchased before arrival. Health forms might be a requirement before entering certain destination.
