How much do your services cost?
At Paradise Calls Travel, we offer a wide range of services to cater to the unique needs and preferences of our clients. Our pricing structure is designed to be flexible and transparent, ensuring that our clients get the best value for their money. The cost of our services varies depending on factors such as destination, duration of trip, accommodation preferences, and additional services requested.
For most trips including Disney, Universal, Cruises, and All Inclusives, our services are NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE TO YOU. All of these places already have a travel agent fee built into their prices, so even if you book with one of these locations and you are not using a travel agent, you are technically already paying for one. Instead of a travel agent receiving the commission this money goes directly to the property you book instead. We can book these properties for you at the exact same price you will find them for online, plus you get our additional support during your trip.
For customized FIT (Foreign Independent Traveler) itineraries to Europe or similar there is an additional $200 planning fee. These trips offer much smaller or no commissions and much more time is involved in the planning and booking process compared to other travel itineraries. With many moving parts like tour companies, train schedules, flights, etc., these trips are a much more complicated process with significant attention to detail required from the day the trip planning begins until the day you return. *We are waiving this fee for the first 5 travelers to book their trip with us - please inquire for availability*
Why should I use a travel agent?
Using a travel agent offers numerous benefits that can greatly enhance your travel experience. With their expertise and industry knowledge, travel agents can save you time and effort by handling all the necassary arrangements and logistics. They have access to exclusive deals, discounts, and packages that are not always available to the general public. Travel agents can also provide valuable insights and recommendations based on their personal experiences and connections, ensuring that you make the most of your trip. Whether it's finding the best accommodations, booking flights, arranging transportations, or planning activities, a travel agent can help you navigate through the complexities of travel planning, making your journey stress-free and enjoyable.
How does working with you work?
Booking your travel through our travel agency is a seamless and hassle-free process.
1. Simply fill out our trip inquiry form to provide us with your travel details, including your destination, dates, and any specific preferences or requirements you may have. Upon receipt of our initial contact form we may have additional questions to help us best understand your personal goals and desires for your trip.
2. Once we have a basic understanding of your trip details, we will leverage our extensive network and resources to find the best options that suit your needs and budget. We will present you with a range of choices, including flights, accommodations, transportation, and activities, ensuring that you have all of the information that you need to make an informed decision.
3. Once you have narrowed down your trip options we will send you a final trip proposal for you to sign off on before booking. After this is completed, we will handle all the booking arrangments on your behalf, ensuring that everything is confirmed and ready for your trip.
4. After all booking is completed, we will send you a final trip itinerary that can be saved to your phone via a PDF or can be accessed through our mobile app - Trip Plans - so you can easily view all of your trip details on the go.
5. During your trip we will be available to handle any issues or concerns that may arise.
Do I have to pay for the trip upfront and/or can I make payments on the trip?
For most trips, a small deposit is required to book and the balance is due 30-60 days prior to arrival. This varies depending on the type of trip you are booking. Deposits may fall anywhere from $100-$500 depending on the supplier.
You may choose to break your trip into smaller payments leading up to it. It's as simple as letting me know you'd like to make a payment and for how much and we will process that for you.
