What You Will Find at Expedia.com
As with many of the travel
websites, Expedia’s home page is a collection of tabs that
lead you to the various products, including airline flights,
hotels, cruises, destinations, and car rentals. The website
also sports a tab for maps and another for activities, where
you can go to find more fun things to do while on vacation
and where they are located.
Also on the home page is
a link to Expedia’s Best Price Guarantee. This guarantee states
that if you find a better price within 24 hours of their quote
to you, they will refund the difference and give you a $50
travel coupon to boot. This offer applies to vacations, flights,
hotels, cruises, activities, and car rentals (although there
are restrictions).
The car rental tab not only
offers you the usual selections of type of car, duration of
the trip, and destination, but also offers several articles
on saving money on your car rental. There are also links to
Condé Nast Traveler articles written to help you save money
as well. In those articles are lists of coupons and discounts
for your car rental needs.
You also have the option
of combining what you would like to book through Expedia.com.
You can book only one of the areas, or pair them, or use all
together for the best possible deals. For instance, if you
are going to visit a relative, you may already have transportation
and a place to stay, and you would book only a flight from
the company. However, if you are going to a family tourist
destination, you may want to book your flight, reserve the
rental car, book your hotel accommodations, and make your
plans to visit the attractions all on the Expedia.com website.
Expedia.com also has a page
where you can explore the most popular destinations and see
what kinds of package deals are currently being offered. There
is also a link to a page that helps you plan your activities,
as well as another that helps you find the particular kind
of travel you are looking for (such as romantic, beach, skiing,
luxury, etc.). You can even get passes to many attractions
through Expedia, including ski lift tickets. |
