5 Reasons You Should Use a Travel Agent

Whether you are visiting an Orlando area theme park, planning a cruise to the Caribbean, or wanting to stay in one of the hundreds of All Inclusive resorts in the Caribbean, using a travel agent to plan your trip can help you save time, money, and stress. Here are the top five reasons you should use a travel agent to book your next vacation.  

1. Save Time ​

One of the primary benefits of using a travel agent when planning a vacation is that we save you time. Whether you’re traveling as a couple or with a group of 15, we’ll take care of the logistics and details of getting everyone on board without spending hours ensuring everyone has the necessary reservations and documents needed to travel. You’ll also potentially save hours of getting your questions answered by far-away hotel staff, cruise sales agents, or theme park reservation centers. We also stay updated on the latest travel policies and procedures and can ensure you have everything you need to travel safely. 

Life gets hectic sometimes, so it’s easy to miss travel deadlines like cruise payment installments. Travel agents monitor these deadlines as your trip approaches to ensure you’re on track to enjoy your vacation.

2. Destination Matchmaking ​

Travel agents are experts at matching you with incredible travel destinations. We get to know you, your family, and your desires for your vacation to help you pick a hotel, cruise line, or all-inclusive resort that fits your needs and will allow everyone to enjoy their trip. Our expert knowledge about the plethora of amazing travel locations and accommodations worldwide is one of the greatest reasons you should use a travel agent to book your trip. From intimate, romantic getaways to group adventures on a large cruise line, we can help plan it all. Once you’ve picked a destination, we’ll help you find the ideal accommodation within the resort to help you relax and unwind. 

3. Concierge Service

Travel agents guide you into creating an unforgettable vacation without the stress and anxiety that comes with planning a trip on your own. We’re your one-stop point of contact for your entire trip—no need to gamble your vacation on whoever picks up the phone at a reservation center. We also provide support and assistance during your entire trip. If there is a travel hiccup or change in itinerary, we’re right there by your side to help develop an alternate plan and make arrangements as necessary. We have relationships with various travel providers to help you get answers efficiently and effectively wherever your travel plans take you. 

An Authorized Disney Vacation Planner agency, like Just Add Magic Travel®, can also help you reserve dining reservations when planning a trip to Walt Disney World or Disneyland. If your desired dining location isn’t available when your booking window opens, we’ll keep checking back to see if more reservations become available or if there are any cancellations. This will save you tons of time searching through available reservations on My Disney Experience.

4. Insider Tips ​

Expertise is one of the best reasons why you should use a travel agent. We stay up to date with the latest and greatest offerings from travel brands around the world and travel to them frequently. We use this first-hand experience and insider knowledge to help you plan every detail of your trip, from the best way to get groceries delivered to your hotel room or how to rent a stroller. We also have extensive knowledge about upgrades and special experiences for your trip, such as booking dessert parties, VIP tours, or upgrading your hotel room to Club-Level.

5. Save Money ​

Travel agents are always on the hunt for travel promotions that would be nearly impossible to find on your own. These rates often include complimentary extras or upgraded amenities. For instance, our agency's partnership with Royal Caribbean allows our clients to receive an onboard credit that they wouldn't qualify for otherwise. We also monitor deals and discounts leading up to your vacation. If a new discount or offer becomes available after you’ve booked your trip, we can often apply the discount for more savings. Most importantly, we know what's important for your trip and what's skip-able so that you're not throwing your money at things that won't add value to your vacations.​
