Trip Service Retainer, Discounts, and Professional Fees

Quality Services for Travel


YOUR "BASIC TRIP SERVICE RETAINER" SECURES YOUR TRAVEL AGENT AND INCLUDES:


In-depth consultation and discovery meeting, research, development of the itinerary, revisions and customizations, booking and managing all components, and help and support before traveling, while traveling, and after travel is completed. You can call or message your personal travel agent any time with questions or concerns and expect a swift response. You will also received a detailed online virtual itinerary that can be downloaded, printed or viewed in the Trip App on your mobile device. This makes traveling easy, with tickets, confirmations, advice, and suggestions attached to each day on your travel itinerary. You will have everything you need for your vacation right in your hand.


"ELEVATED CONCIERGE SERVICE RETAINER" INCLUDES EVERYTHING ABOVE, PLUS ALL ITEMS LISTED BELOW: 


Restaurant reservations, spa treatment appointments, zoo tickets, museum tickets, and theater tickets do not fall within the basic coverage. Also, it is worth noting that this elevated service includes help with cancellations for any reason, as well as insurance claims for the client, in case of emergency cancellations.

Service fees from travel suppliers and travel companies are separate from the cost of the Retainer AND the cost of your travel itinerary.

The "Trip Service Retainer", "Elevated Concierge Service Retainer", "Rush", "Un-guided Travel", and "Cancellation" are one-time fees per trip. "Trip" is defined as "an itinerary including a starting and ending point, (where the client leaves home being the starting point and returns home being the ending point)."

  • ALL TRIP SERVICE RETAINERS AND FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE, whether or not you decide to book travel with Experience Joy Travel Company or cancel your entire trip. When you pay the retainer, your service is guaranteed and the work process begins behind the scenes. Research is done for you, as well as task lists created and paperwork completed. All of these things are included in your retainer cost, and therefore cannot be refunded in the event that you decide not to travel. By signing this form you waive your right to charge backs for traveled trips and cancellations.
  • This Agreement is separate from your agreements with any travel suppliers, e.g., airlines, hotels, tour operators, cruise lines, and any other service suppliers.
