When you’re planning your next vacation, you have two choices – you can plan, book, and confirm all of your reservations yourself, or you can use a travel agent to do all of the work for you. Many people think they’ll save a lot of money by doing all the work by themselves, but that’s not always the case. The next time you’re planning a trip, consider the following benefits of using a travel agent.

Travel agents will know when to travel.
Most travel agents book hundreds of vacations and vacation packages every year, and they’re likely well-traveled as well. Consequently, travel agents generally know which times and dates offer the best savings potential for travelers. If your travel dates aren’t set in stone, a good travel agent can find you the best options for your budget.

Save on all types of reservations.
Most travel agencies are able to offer group discounts if they book enough people on the same vacation package. However, when you’re traveling with your family members, you usually won’t have enough people to get this discounted rate. When you use a travel agent, you can qualify for this discount rate since the travel agents often buy tickets in large quantities. You’ll also find special rates and discounts through a travel agent that may not be available to the regular public.

You can relax while the travel agent does the work.
You might want to do a little research so that you know what questions to ask your travel agent to make decisions about your vacation, but you won’t have to deal with the minute details involved in planning a trip. You’ll save a ton of time and can kick back and relax, knowing your trip is being planned for you.

Questions about travel documents can be answered.
Even though you may have to complete the paperwork and application process yourself, a travel agent can answer any questions you may have about your travel documents. Since the rules and regulations for passports and visas are always changing, it’s nice to have someone knowledgeable to speak with if you have questions.

Travel agents offer special perks.
You can often find great travel perks when you book your vacation through a travel agent, since a good travel agent knows which questions to ask and how to go about finding the best deals. You can bet a travel agent can get a great deal for themselves, so why wouldn’t they pass these perks on to you?

You won’t have to wonder about your destination.
If you’re booking your hotel off a website, you can’t be sure that you’ll arrive and find what you were expecting. Usually, a travel agent has traveled extensively and can answer most questions about your destination. Even if they haven’t been to the destination personally, they can connect with other travel agents who will be able to find the answers to any question you might have.

Travel agents can find affordable travel options.
Many people have a hard time finding a great travel destination on a limited budget. If your dead-set on Mexico, but can’t afford Cancun, your travel agent may be able to recommend another city that’s better for your wallet.
One-bill payments allowed with a travel agent.

When you book your vacation with a travel agent, you won’t have pay a ton of different bills for the different elements of your trip, nor will you have to keep track of confirmation numbers, dates, times, and places. Many travel agents will also allow you make multiple payments towards you trip, which can be a great option if you’re low on cash.

Travel agents can really be a great help in many areas when you’re planning a vacation. Take the time to speak with us and see what we can offer you. You may be pleasantly surprised.

This weeks 10 TOP Reason why you should use a Travel Agent

1. You've Googled "Mexico vacation," and come up with 17.8 million responses. Need a little help editing those choices?

2. Remember when you used that obscure website to book your hotel, and when you got there you spent your beach vacation overlooking a parking lot?

3. How many hours were you on hold with the airline when your flight was canceled because of a snowstorm?

4. Did you really mean to spend your honeymoon at that resort whose one tiny pool was filled all day with 12 screaming children?

5. Who knew that when you booked that "villa" in Tuscany, it would be a small room with a kitchenette and no air conditioning? Funny, it looked much better on your computer screen.

6. No one explained to you that in July, it's winter time in Rio, and so you showed up there with nothing but five Hawaiian shirts and three pairs of swimming trunks.

7. How about the time you really needed a restful vacation, and you ended up in New Orleans during Mardi Gras and someone threw up on your shoes?

8. Yes, I guess that hotel must have used a telephoto lens when they took a picture of those guest rooms that you saw on their website.

9. I suppose contacting the Attorney General to resolve the fact that that Internet site has billed your credit card three times instead of once is the only route to take at this point.

10. It was definitely odd that there were no cab drivers at the airport at 3 o'clock in the morning when you finally landed in Costa Rica, but booking a transfer to your very remote hotel would have been a good thing to remember when you purchased your airline ticket and hotel online
