The origins of Travelguru
were rooted in 4 basic tenets that confront all of us
travellers:
Are we well informed of all our travel options?
Have we had an enjoyable experience making our reservations?
Are we confident we got the best price?
Is it safe for me to provide credit card and other personal
details to my travel planner?
Invariably, the answer to all these questions is No!
At Travelguru we believe we can change this and this
is how we do it:
Transparency: we have no bias towards
any airline or hotel. We present you with all available
options and you decide what the best option for you
is. Also, our prices are inclusive of all taxes. What
you see is what you pay for.
Choice: we offer access to deals on
more than 500 airlines and 72,000 hotels across the
globe and the options continue to grow.
Convenience: as a one-stop shop, Travelguru
allows you to view all deals on a single website –
www.Travelguru.com. You can also call us at 1 888 737 4868 (Toll Free from USA), 0 808 120 3654 (Toll Free from UK), +91 22 4275 4878 (8 AM - 10 PM IST) standard charges apply. You can also email us at service@travelguru.com
and one of our reservation agents will contact you to
help you plan and book your travel.
Savings: we can offer you the best
deals that are available thanks to various alliances
we have entered into with leading airlines and hotels.
Security: Travelguru understands your
need to transact in a safe and secure environment. All
your information, be it financial or otherwise, is protected
using the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology standards
from Verisign. |
