What do I need to pay extra when buying a tour?

When making travel documents, you should be very careful. Do not be lazy to read the contract before signing, because often there are “pitfalls” in it, which can significantly increase the cost of the ticket.

 

The final price of the trip often includes additional costs, which may not be reflected in the modules. Therefore, very often when booking, you may be faced with the fact that you will be required to pay an additional fee.

 

Fuel charge

 

Expenses per person range from 1 to 100 CU. The fuel levy is intended to cover the costs of airlines for fuel. The exact amount you can find out from the manager already when choosing a tour. It also happens that the fee is already included in the cost of the trip.

 

Airport assembly

 

Includes departure and boarding fees. The amount will be determined by the airline and the airport. As a rule, you will have to pay from 10 to 20 USD for this, which brings not the best feelings for a tourist who wants to save money on travel. Those wishing to go on a cruise by sea will also have to pay similar port fees.

 

Regular airline fees

 

Using the services of permanent flights, be prepared that you will be required an additional fee in the amount of 15-350 USD. If the flight takes place on a charter flight, there will be no additional payment.

 

Business class surcharge

 

If the flight conditions in economy do not suit you, you can use the services of business class. Especially if the tour involves flying in comfort. For such a flight will have to pay additionally from 150 to 1250 CU.

 

Infanta surcharge

 

According to airline rules, children under 2 years old can fly without a ticket, and sit on the lap of their parents. However, you will have to pay for a boarding pass, the cost of which is approximately 40-50 CU.

 

Individual transfer

 

Not all hotels due to their remote location can arrange the delivery of guests from the airport by bus. Therefore, when making some vouchers, you can take an additional fee of 30-500 USD for individual delivery to the hotel. The trick is that the tour already includes a group transfer, but you simply will not be able to take advantage of it.

 

Visa processing

 

Travel agencies also require an additional fee for issuing a visa document. The pass document will be issued at the embassy of the country to which you want to go. At the same time, the cost of the service will depend on the conditions established by the state itself, as well as the surcharges of the travel agency.

 

Transfer of documentation

 

To obtain a visa, you need to collect and send a whole pack of documents to the embassy of the country. For express delivery, you may also be required from 400 to 1500 rubles.

 

 

Service fee

 

Additional service fee at the hotel. The final amount consists of the number of days when it was made. As a rule, a fee of 4-15 CU is charged for this for one passenger and one day of stay.

 

Hotel activities during the holidays

 

For example, if you stay in a hotel on New Year’s Eve, you may be charged a surcharge for the program, even if you do not participate in it. The cost of such a “holiday” can be 60-250 USD.

 

Excursions

 

Payment of your choice. In rare cases, the tour may include mandatory excursions, which will also need to be paid without fail.

 

Accommodation in the 2nd room

 

An additional fee for accommodation in a 2-bed room is valid for independent travelers who travel alone. It's about some tours. If you do not want to share the room with other people, you may be required to 100-250 CU.

 

Guarantee payment from non-departure

 

There are travel companies that have made this payment a prerequisite for purchasing a tour. You can return the cost of the trip in case of unforeseen situations by paying from 10 to 25 CU, or 2-5% of the price for the tour.

 

Additional Injury Insurance

 

If you are going, for example, to engage in skiing, some travel agencies will ask to necessarily insure themselves against accidents. In one day, the cost of insurance can be 2-3 CU.

 

Additional insurance for pensioners

 

Often travel agencies require additional payment to the main insurance. This applies to tourists who have reached retirement age. In this case, the cost of additional payment per day per person can range from 1 to 3 CU.

 

Insurance franchise

 

Can be included in the cost of the tour in the amount of 30-50 CU. If during the trip you need medical care, or there is some insurance event, you can use the franchise service. If there are no unpleasant situations, then you will not have to pay for the insurance franchise.
