Quotes rarely arrive in the same shape
One agent sends a PDF, another a message, a third a spreadsheet. Some quote per person, others for the whole group. Some include flights. Before you compare prices, make the quotes comparable.
A five-step method
- Copy each quote into one table with the same rows.
- Convert everything to price per person and price per night.
- Mark what is missing and ask the agent to fill it.
- Check the terms: payment dates and cancellation.
- Score responsiveness and clarity, not only price.
A table you can copy
| Row | Agent A | Agent B | Agent C |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total price | |||
| Per person | |||
| Hotels and locations | |||
| Meals | |||
| Transfers | |||
| Sightseeing included | |||
| Flights included | |||
| Payment and cancellation |
Follow-up questions that save money
- Can you quote the same hotel category as the others?
- What is not included that I would normally pay for?
- What is the cancellation cost today and 30 days before travel?
- Can you itemise flights, hotels and land services?
How to decide
If two quotes are close, choose the agent who answered clearly and quickly. A responsive agent is easier to work with when plans change.
If one quote is much cheaper, find out why before you commit.
Frequently asked questions
What if quotes are very different?
+
Compare hotels and inclusions first. The cheaper quote may be missing meals, transfers or a better location.
Should I negotiate?
+
You can ask for the same inclusions at a better price, but be wary of unusually low offers.
How do I get quotes in the first place?
+
Post one requirement on QuoteMyTrip and travel agents can respond. See our guide on getting multiple quotes.
How can QuoteMyTrip help?
+
Post your requirement once, and travel agents can send plans and quotes that you can compare side by side. QuoteMyTrip does not take bookings or payments for trips.
