Schedule A Call

Does Uniglobe charge annual fees?

No! However we do charge monthly fees for the ongoing support, tools, and resources we provide to our advisors.

Does Uniglobe train advisors to use the GDS?

We offer GDS access to experienced GDS advisors (Sabre, Amadeus), but we do not train anyone to use the GDS system. For our non-GDS advisors, we offer access to an Air Desk, so you're able to ticket clients by working directly with a Sabre expert.

Does Uniglobe require a specific time commitment if I sign on?

Our advisor agreement is month-to-month. If at any point you determine we're not the right fit for your business, we simply ask for a 30-day written notice.

What kind of networking do you offer?

One on-one-supplier sessions.
Weekly webinars.
Virtual and live business development summits.
An active online forum where advisors collaborate daily.
An conference that offers technology training, supplier training, and agent networking. New agents will also get an Experienced Agent Mentor at their first conference.
Call UTC anytime!

How often are my commissions paid?

Commissions are direct deposited into your account once a month. If you have more than $250 in commissions that month then you will receive your commissions twice a month.

Do you provide a consumer booking engine?

Absolutely not! We provide a template website that curates the content for you but it does not allow consumers to book directly off of the site. Instead it will send an inquiry to you so you can be the travel consultant and build that client relationship.

Do you provide E&O insurance?

We do provide E&O insurance but STRONGLY suggest you obtain your own policy as soon as possible.

Do I need a seller of travel license?

Some states do require a seller of travel license. It is your responsibility to check the legal requirements of owning a travel business in your state.

Do you offer marketing support?

Yes! You will have access to marketing and social media tools though Virtuoso, and experienced staff members who can also offer advice on your marketing plan.

What makes Uniglobe different than other host agencies?

One word: Community. We genuinely care about the success of our advisors. And our advisors are kind and supportive of one another. In fact, many say they feel they're part of a family. When we share information, we all win. So if you're looking for a team of like-minded entrepreneurs, look no further.

I can't imagine a host agency where the other TA's are so willing to share and support each other. I can't imagine a host agency that would feel more like family than UTC does.

I've been in the industry since 1975. In 2006 I read a Travel Weekly article about Uniglobe & reached out immediately. By the end of the call, I was part of the team.
