Rooted Reservations vs. DIY Online Booking: 8 Reasons to Work with Us

Using a Travel Advisor Isn't Just a Convenience- It's a Game Changer

Here's what you'll get by using Rooted Reservations instead of booking your own travel online:

1) Personalized Service Meets Network Strength 

When you book online, you're another transaction. With Rooted Reservations, you’re a valued traveler. Our partnership with the Fora Travel network allows us to combine the intimacy and dedication of a sole proprietorship with the expansive reach and resources of a global network. This affiliation ensures we have exclusive access to deals, locations, and experiences not available to the average traveler- or even to other travel advisors outside the network.

2) Expertise Over Algorithms 

Online platforms prioritize options based on algorithms. We prioritize based on understanding you. Our deep knowledge, coupled with real-time insights from our network, ensures that the journey we curate is aligned with your travel goals.

3) Exclusive Perks Beyond Price Comparisons 

While online sites give you price comparisons, we give you value comparisons. Enjoy exclusive perks, upgrades, and experiences that aren't available to the average online booker.

4) All Your Travel Details, One Convenient App

Gone are the days of shuffling through multiple emails or printouts to keep track of your travel details. As a valued client of Rooted Reservations, you'll gain access to our state-of-the-art travel app that houses all your crucial information: from flight details, hotel reservation confirmations, transportation bookings, to excursion confirmations and essential travel insurance documents.

5) Maximized Value with Free Services & Transparent Fees 

Our partnership with hoteliers compensates us, enabling our hotel bookings service to be available to you without any added charges. 

While there are fees associated with comprehensive trip planning, they reflect our commitment to crafting a tailored, hassle-free journey for you. With Rooted Reservations, you're not just paying for a service – you're investing in an experience. The trip planning fees? They're your ticket to this unparalleled value.

6) Personal Advocacy 

If anything goes amiss during your journey, having Rooted Reservations by your side ensures you have an advocate who will work tirelessly to resolve issues. Try getting that level of dedication from an online portal! What’s more, our app serves as a direct communication line to us. Should you have any questions or need assistance during your journey, Rooted Reservations is just a message away, ensuring you remain focused on the joy of your trip, rather than the logistics.

7) Save Time and Avoid Pitfalls

Filtering through endless online options can be time-consuming not to mention confusing- which reviews are actually reliable? We streamline the process, leveraging our knowledge and the resources of the Fora Travel network, ensuring a hassle-free planning experience with experts who have actually been to the hotels you're booking, and have real relationships with the people that work there.

8) Supporting More Than Just Big Chains 

Our focus extends beyond the mainstream. We handpick accommodations and experiences, many of which may not be prominent online, to ensure you're immersed in genuine local culture. If boutique isn't your thing, don't worry, we work with all the major travel brands too!

Travel should be about discovery, not just destinations. Choose Rooted Reservations, and elevate your travel experience beyond the ordinary, leaving the limitations of online booking behind for good.
