Net Rates Explained
NET Rates are cheap hotel room rates that are also known as Net Fares and Travel Agent Rates. Net Rates are by far the lowest hotel rates that exist. Unlike Negotiate, GDS, and Internet Rates, we obtain these discounted hotel rates from travel wholesale consolidators who purchase rooms in bulk amount from the hotel vendors. The more rooms the travel wholesaler buys, the lower the wholesale rate they will get. Once they have purchased the rooms from the hotel vendors they will add a small markup to the rate and then submit them to our database for us to resell to our clients. Sometimes the Net Rates that are submitted to our inventory are not the lowest hotel rates that exist, and if this is the case we won’t sell them to you because our ethics and integrity would be uncomfortable doing so.
Our #1 goal is to keep our clients satisfied each and every time we return their quote options to them. These cheap hotel room rates are sometimes the only inventory that is left when a hotel is sold out. Although NET Rates are Prepaid and Non-Refundable, the savings can be tremendous. If you know you are going to be traveling or your travel dates are pretty much set in stone, we highly advise you to consider booking Net Rates with us so you can keep more of your hard earned money. Net Rates are cheap hotel room rates that are a secret that the travel industry keeps from the general public, but not any longer. These discounted hotel rates have been able to save our clients hundreds or even thousands of dollars on their vacations.
