F.A.Q.

  1. Why Use A Travel Agency? 

    A professional travel agent is trained to guide a client through the entire process of planning a trip, whether for business or for leisure. Travel agents take classes, participate in seminars, and become destination specialists to ensure they make each client’s travel experience as personalized, convenient and memorable as possible.

    When planning a business trip or family vacation, the Internet can be a valuable resource, but it cannot replace the expertise and guidance of a travel agent. Also, during travel crises, the Internet can’t replace a human being who will continue to help a client get a problem resolved. A big part of the equation is that they get to know you and your wants, likes and dislikes, and make suggestions accordingly.

  2. What Does It Cost? 

    A travel agent’s role is to find the best flight and itinerary to fit the client’s needs, find hotels that match the client’s specifications, provide information about activities and events at the client’s destination and offer advance booking services or book the services for the client. Travel agents take off the stress of making traveling arrangements from the traveler.

    This is the biggest misconception in the entire travel industry. We do not charge any fee for our services so essentially our services are ABSOLUTELY FREE! We work strictly on commission from the respective tour operators and agencies we use.

Testimonials

“My wife and I just traveled to Sandals Antigua for our one year anniversary. We had the trip planned for nearly a year & were determined to make it there. Diane was extremely helpful throughout the whole process & we couldn’t have done it without her help. She did research, spoke with other travel agents, and stayed on top of everything to ensure a safe and smooth trip!

Naturally, we were a little bit nervous to travel. To our surprise, it was one of our smoothest trips to date – airports aren’t very busy & we had no delays or cancellations. A mask was required the entire duration in flight & we wore them throughout the airports. Once we got to Antigua, masks were required until we got to the resort. On the airplane, we were handed a health questionnaire asking if we were feeling well & any symptoms we may have. Once we got to the airport, we had our temperatures taken, spoke with an employee about our questionnaire, then spoke with a doctor who asked our professions, reminded us of social distancing and to sanitize/wear masks at all times. They did not test us & we did not have proof of a negative test beforehand. The resort was very safe – all employees wore masks, sanitization stations were all over & hand sanitation was required before going into any restaurant.

We had an amazing trip and even extended our stay by two extra days (thanks to Diane for rescheduling our flight)! We are so glad we went & would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a getaway! We already planned our next trip to Sandals Grenada!”

“PCR Travel made my dream destination vacation become a reality. The end result was a well-organized and beautiful trip. My family and I started our trip in London, then went over to Germany and finished in Italy. PCR Travel planned my entire trip from the time we left the airport in Pittsburgh to our arrival home one month later. The knowledge and expertise along with the customer service was top notch. I will certainly use PCR Travel for all of my travel needs and without a doubt recommend their services.”

We have traveled with PCR Travel six times over the last few years. They are extremely professional, yet they have the feel of a family-oriented organization. The staff is courteous, attentive, and knowledgeable. They have always listened to our concerns and interests, and then planned wonderful trips that fit our needs perfectly. When we recently had to cancel a trip at the last minute, they took care of ALL the details and we received a full refund promptly. We are traveling on another major trip in the fall and PCR Travel will once again be our agency of choice!
