How do travel agents get paid? Do you charge an extra fee?
Never! We are 100% free to you. We are paid commission by the resorts, we do not charge a service fee. Many resorts have price parity, the cost is same whether you book through us, direct with the resort, or with an online booking engine.
The difference between using a travel consultant is that we help you plan a stress-free vacation without the hassle of going it alone. We also know all of the promotions and when the best time to travel is. We make sure you get your vacation, the way you want it, at the best price possible charge a service fee.

Why should I book with you instead of an online booking site, or direct with a resort?
With us, you get exceptional personal assistance before, during, and after your vacation. Budget is important and we strive to get your dream vacation within the budget you’ve set for it. There’s no pressure to go above and beyond what you’re comfortable with. You can’t enjoy your vacation when you’re stressed out about paying for it.
We provide honest advice about all resorts and destinations to help you choose the perfect resort for you. You also benefit from our extensive personal connections which carry a certain gravitas when needing anything addressed. We have an easier time getting you perks (like getting your room upgraded)—it’s easier for us to get a “yes” because we work with them often.

Will I pay more for vacation if I book through you than an online booking site?
No! The deposit requirements are set by the resorts and the tour operators we book through. Deposit rates vary based on the resort or package you select, and the time you are traveling.
The deposit is made via Best Day Ever Vacations by Jen directly with the resort or tour operator. At no time do we ever charge your credit card directly. Your card will only be charged by the vendors (Disney, Royal Caribbean, Apple Vacations etc.) This way, you
are assured that your deposit is applied directly to your vacation at the time of booking.
Some of our vendors allow for payments and for financing. Message us for more information.
I hear horror stories all the time about Travel Agencies that went out of business, and people lost their vacations…
What guarantees do I have doing business with you?
Because you don’t pay Best Day Ever Vacations for your vacation, there is no risk of losing your vacation through us—ever.
When making your reservations, you provide us with your credit card information for booking. In turn, we provide that information to the vacation vendors (resorts, airlines, etc.). They charge your card. This way, you are assured that every payment you make towards your vacation is applied directly to your reservation.
