Travel republic

I have found a very good priced holiday for my husband and daughter to go on in spain in april, but its with travel republic.
I have always booked with a travel agent before so a bit wary about booking with them.
is there anything that i should look for/worry about when booking?

    We regularly use Travel Republic (accommodation only though) and Booking.com
    No problems yet.
    Their hotel reviews are more reliable than some of the guff on Trip Advisor.

    call them and make sure the price is valid

    If you have added baggage and transfers on to your cost everything will be fine

    Never had any problems with TravelRepublic.

    Del, why should any of their prices not be valid? They show all of the extras.

    I've booked with them before with no problems. Just be aware that you sometimes have to add baggage and transfers onto the price that you're seeing. But if it still works out cheaper then go for it!

    Have used them several times for DIY packages and accommodation-only - good prices and no problems. They were also very good last year when I was 'volcanoed' twice (before travelling out), although I was able to just put dates back, so didn't need an 'instant' alternative.

    Just do the usual stuff - check the booking carefully, remember luggage and transfers 'extras', pay by credit card or Visa debit.
  • Back last week from another Travel Republic booked hotel, never had a problem in the last 2/3 years
