8 Steps for Stress-Free Travel Planning with an Amavi Advisor
Planning a trip can be overwhelming, but with a travel advisor at your side, it becomes easy and exciting! Here’s a sneak peek into the stress-free steps we take together to turn your travel dreams into reality:
Step 1: Complimentary Consultation
The first step is a fun, free chat with your Amavi advisor. We'll get to know each other, talk about your bucket list, and make note of your must-haves. Whether it’s in person, on the phone, over email, via Zoom or Google Meets, we collaborate to brainstorm your next great escape. We’re all ears and ready to make it happen.
Step 2: Comprehensive Planning
After the consultation, we research and curate an itinerary that’s perfectly you - the best flights at the right price, the coolest accommodations in ideal locations, off-the-beaten path adventures with expert local guides, and highly-rated or recommended restaurants and bars. We take planning off your plate so you can practice your "sit back and relax” pose!
Step 3: Professional Fees
At Amavi Vacation Company, we believe crystal clear communication. Our Professional Fees of $100 per person per trip are laid out upfront and charged upon proposal. We may also charge Rush or Change Fees for last minute planning or itinerary overhauls. These fees covers the time and resources used to ensure your trip is top-notch. Trust us, the value and peace of mind we bring are worth every penny.
Step 4: Trip Proposal & Insurance Quote
Next, we want to "wow” you with a personalized trip proposal! It will include dates, details, and pricing for flights, transportation, accommodation, and activities. Plus, we throw in an insurance quote to keep things worry-free. We’ll go over it together and make any necessary changes. Nothing will be booked or confirmed until you feel confident about your travel plans!
Step 5: Deposit & Final Payments
Lock in the details of your itinerary with deposit (or full!) and final payments. Your Amavi advisor will keep track of due dates and handle all transactions, making the process as smooth as possible. You’ll always receive payment and booking confirmation via email or snail mail, whatever you prefer. No stress, no hassle – just a straightforward way to secure your trip.
Step 6: ‘Before You Go’ Support
As your departure date approaches, we finalize all the details, provide essential reservation and destination-specific information, and answer any last-minute questions. One thing we’ll always suggest, “Make sure your passport is packed and ready!” If you need passport assistance, check out our guide to U.S. passports and renewals.
Step 7: In-Travel Assistance
Need a hand? No worries! Whether you have to make changes to your plans, deal with unexpected situations, or simply ask a question, we’re here to help. Enjoy peace of mind knowing your Amavi advisor is just a call or message away!
Step 8: ‘Welcome Home’ Review
When you’re back from your trip, we can’t wait to hear all about it! Share your stories, highlights, and any feedback you have. Your experiences help us improve our services and make your future travels even better. Plus, when we’re not traveling ourselves, we love living vicariously through our clients!
