FAQs
Do I really need a travel agent or can I just book the trip myself?
There are a variety of factors that go into travel planning. Determining budget, location, flights, lodging, food, activities, and more can be an expensive and time-consuming process. Depending on the trip you’re looking to take, planning it can be daunting—from negotiating the complex rules of various suppliers to keeping up to date with accurate information on destinations and offerings.
Advisors excel at conducting research, sorting through offers, and reading the fine print to help save you time, money, and stress. While you may be able to explore and book a trip online, no website will get to know you personally or remain dedicated to achieving your goals. Working with an advisor means having a real-life expert at your fingertips!
Does it cost more to use a travel advisor?
A travel advisor provides personalized service and invaluable advice—helping travelers make the most of their time and money. While some may charge a modest fee for their services, most won’t charge anything at all, and in fact, will end up saving you money in the long run.
OnePulse Travel does not charge a fee to clients for planning standard vacations, but instead earn money from commissions* paid to us through supplier partners and vendors.
Do you offer a payment plan?
To book your trip, a small fee or percentage of your total balance is due to book up front. Then you can pay at your leisure just as long as complete balance is fulfilled by final due date, which is usually 30-45 days before travel, or up to 90 days before travel for cruises. I do offer third party financing through a company called Uplift, which allows you to pay a small deposit, and pay the remaining balance of your trip over a 12 - 18 month period. A soft credit check is required before approval.
