Why should I book with a travel agent?
Discover 5 reasons to book your next holiday with Discerning Travels. As an independent UK travel agent, I save you time, money and stress with exclusive deals.
I don't charge clients. Booking with me is completely free.
My services are complimentary because I'm paid a commission by trusted hotels and travel suppliers, not by you. As an independent UK travel agent, I handle the research, planning and booking for you, offering a tailored service with exclusive holiday deals.
Already found a trip elsewhere? Try the Discern Travels price check service. I’ll compare your booking and whenever possible, match or even beat it in price or value.
The quotes I send often help you save money
Independent travel agents like me have access to hundreds of suppliers, including many that are trade-only. These suppliers offer holidays and bookings that aren’t available to the public.
That’s why the tailored quotes I provide often work out cheaper — as your travel agent, I can unlock exclusive rates and discounts you won’t find online when trying to book a holiday.
I use my training and experience to guide you
As an independent travel agent, I combine supplier training with my own love of travel to recommend the best times to visit, the right hotels and holiday packages, and options tailored to your needs. I offer expert insights and advice that no booking site can provide. I have experience booking my own solo, group and family trips and UK getaways, along with a honeymoon and cruise, so I know what makes a difference.
More holiday protection with ATOL and ABTA
Big booking sites don’t always give you the same security, and travel insurance can only go so far. Every holiday you book with me comes with ATOL and ABTA holiday protection — so if anything goes wrong, your money is safe. That means peace of mind and a stress-free holiday.
ATOL provides financial and legal protection for flight-inclusive packages. ABTA offers financial protection for non-flight bookings and ensures you’re working with a trusted independent travel agent who follows strict industry standards.
Great way to support a small business
I take the time to build real relationships with my clients, working hard to give you the best service so you’ll want to return and recommend me to your family and friends.
By booking with me as your independent UK travel agent, you’re not just planning a holiday. You’re also supporting a small local business that genuinely cares about your travel experience. I’m always happy to help with your holiday planning. Get in touch today to start booking your next holiday.
