Spring break deals are advertised by almost every agency. The problem is that most of the trips advertised are not really deals.
Finding cheap spring break trips can be very challenging. The price advertised is almost always far from the final per person or group price you will end up paying for the vacation. The good news is that their are ways of finding which prices are real and which are there to bait you in.
First, read the fine print. I know, you ve heard it all your life and you know it s the right thing to do, but who wants to read all that tiny print. If your moneys on the line it s worth it, especially if you are making decisions based on your friends behalf. Legally speaking, any extra fees and charges must be in writing somewhere on the company website so read everything on the site.
Second, call and speak with an agent. You d be surprised how much you can learn from talking to someone. Get together with your friends, make a list of questions, and call the agency. They are obligated by law to disclose all fees and charges if you ask them. Ethically speaking they should tell you even if you don t ask and many do, but some do not since they are not legally obligated to do so. You would be surprised how many times an agent will disclose something you wouldn t ask or think to ask about their spring break trips.
Third, focus only on the company that offers the cheapest advertised price for their spring break vacations. Many times additional charges and taxes are the same from one agency to another. You may be thinking what do you mean by that ? Government taxes, departure taxes, immigration fees, and many other taxes of this type are regulated by the government. This is why you want the cheapest starting price.
Last, focus on the company that offers the most hotels for your particular spring break destination. Most of the time if an agency has many contracts with many different hotels then it means they do alot of business with that destination. Most hotels give a lower rate to those agencies that book the most volume. This is how they knock out their competitors.
It s important to note that cheap spring break vacations are not always the best. You need to get the biggest bang for your buck. I ve always heard that when you buy a computer you should not by the latest and greatest. You also should not by the cheapest computer. You should by one step down from the top of the line. The same applies to booking spring break packages. You will not enjoy your trip if you are staying in a low quality budget hotel regardless of the price. Try to pick a hotel that is in the middle. It needs to be the best hotel based on cost versus quality.
Another reason to pick a mid range hotel is because it s where most of the college spring break students will stay. Spring break is about a group party with your friends so being in the heart of the action is very important.
A few helpful hints can make spring break 2010 your best ever.
