She declined the quote and said , she can book herself cheaper direct with RIU .
✅I asked her , did you read the fine print .
You have to pay , 290.00 more dollars when you get to the resort .
She replied : oh , I did not see that
✅I also said : If you request that transfer , they will send you a taxi , employed by the people in the country , and they will charge you 3 times more when you get there , bc they think Americans are rich 🤑 .
To add you are 1 hour from the airport .
✅My price included : transportation from a reputable currier service , not a taxi , and the extra fees
✅I also said : you can cancel up to 3 days , but what if your plane is delayed and you miss a day .
My price includes travel protection and you would get that money back for the days you lost .
✅And what if your luggage gets lost , my travel insurance reimbursement you $300 to go shopping
✅What if an emergency happens and you need to be airlifted , it helps cover that . You not in America , they won’t move without money and about 100% of medical insurance does not cover over seas
👉🏾HER direct booking price :
1,696.88
Plus her fee to pay at the hotel 290
‼️No insurance in a foreign county and no transfer , have to risk a cab in Mexico 🇲🇽
1988.66
👉🏾My quote price :
1,8052 , no extra fees , travel protection, and transportation
So I am technically atleast 500 cheaper , once you pay for that overpriced cab , and consider travel insurance
💨Her reply : ohhhhhhh , well can I cancel this and book it with you
My reply : I think it’s best for you to proceed with your plan .
The Moral of the story :
Please compare apples to apples
My ideal client is someone who values a premium service and not put me in a price war .
I price compare , and I will not even proceed if my prices are 300 higher . I will tell you a better route .
I was not mad and not posting this bc I am , it’s only because, some people do not understand value of a full service “ I am not a booking agent , I am a travel professional “
and ……. don’t know how to properly compare .
The education must start Now 😍‼️‼️‼️
Everybody is not my client, and I am ok with that, but I never want someone to walk away from the table misinformed.
