gooTravel.com Launches Travel Visa Page is a post from: gooTravel.com Media Room

As of the 1st December 2009 you can now compare prices of package holidays from multiple online holiday booking sites with one easy search on gooTravel.com.

GooTravel.com’s holiday comparison search compares prices from Thomas Cook, Virgin Holidays, ebookers.com, Jet2Holidays, Balkan Holidays, to name just a few.

Wayne Davies, Company Director comments “There are many holiday sites on the internet which could potentially offer package holidays to the same resorts at vastly different prices. We have added the holiday comparison search to enable people to compare prices and deals without having to spend ages looking at different booking sites.”

Once you have entered your search criteria the system will contact all of the holiday booking sites that are registered on the system in the background to find package holidays that meet your need. The results are then displayed in a new window where you compare the prices and what’s on offer. You then click through to the supplier of your choice and book directly with them.

The holiday comparison search is the latest search tool to be added to gooTravel.com and sits alongside their hotel finder, flight comparison, car hire comparison, rail ticket and conference booking tools.

Train Tickets Now Available On gooTravel.com is a post from: gooTravel.com Media Room

gooTravel.com a new travel comparison website aims to save consumers and businesses time and money when making travel arrangements.

The sites “Hotel Finder” hotel search compares prices from over 30 of the leading hotel chains and booking sites including Late Rooms, Expedia and Travelocity. By using gooTravel.com’s Hotel Finder you can access over 900,000 global hotel deals and access over 1.5m consumer reviews, 3m hotel images, 2m hotel descriptions and maps.

The flight comparison search lets you compare flight prices from hundreds of the UK’s top airlines and flight operators including British Airways and Virgin Atlantic.

When you use the car hire comparison you can easily compare prices from multiple car hire companies for anything from an economy car to a luxury saloon or a convertible to a 4×4.

As well as these travel comparison services the site also provides information on other travel services such as airport parking and transfers with links to multiple suppliers offering these services.

The thing that differentiates gooTravel.com from other travel sites and comparison sites is that the company will also be offering businesses the opportunity to have their own branded version of the site customized to their liking in order to save time and money when booking business travel.

Kathy Davies of gooTravel.com comments “Using our searches that combine prices from multiple suppliers is much more time efficient for businesses looking for the best deal on travel. It’s also free to use unlike going to a travel agency where they would pay a fee.”

Kathy Davies continues “Even where businesses already use an agency there will often be leakage where staff book outside of policy and claim the spend back on expenses, particularly when it comes to hotels and the traveler wants to spend more than the travel policy allows. If this is going to happen then it would be wise for the business to at least get the best price possible and reduce the amount of time their staff spend viewing multiple hotel sites.”

A company’s branded version of the site will be on a sub domain of gooTravel.com for example http://YourCompany.gooTravel.com whereas the main website is a public facing version which over time will also feature other consumer services such as package holidays.
