Summer vacation season is under way. While this is a busy time for travel providers to help consumers enjoy their getaways, there are other unethical businesses that use the summer to take advantage of sun-seeking vacationers. The Better Business Bureau offers the following travel-related tips for consumers:
- Check out the free Business Review of the company at www.bbb.org prior to making travel arrangements.
- Be wary of "great deals" and low-priced offers.
- Ask detailed questions about specific travel arrangements and lodging. Find out exactly what is included in the offer.
- Get all information in writing before you agree to buy. Be sure to read and understand all agreements, guarantees, and instructions before signing.
- Don't send money by messenger or overnight mail.
- Don't be pressured into agreeing to a travel-related offer.
