2. Price Match Guarantee:
Tour booking websites are a dime a dozen these days. Most of these websites compete based on price alone. We have long believed that great service and advice will be remembered long after you have forgotten about few dollars saved, for inferior experiences. However, we want your business and we live in a competitive environment, so if you find a better deal and you trust our guidance, we will match any published price – Guaranteed.
3. Talk to a Human Being who lives in Cairns:
Our Travel Consultants are Cairns Travel Experts. Their entire job is advising and facilitating Cairns and Great Barrier Reef Region experiences to visitors from around the world. We are based in Cairns (not an overseas call centre). All of our consultants undergo extensive familiarization programs, so we know what we are talking about.
4. Our Consultants do not work on commission
All of our consultants are paid an hourly rate in accordance with Fair Work Australia Stipulations. This may sound like common sense, but it is not so common with many of our competitors. For us, it is simple and fair. For you, this means you will not be pushed to a certain product or tour provider that does not suit your needs, just because the consultant gets paid more to do so.
5. No Cancellation Fees
If for some reason you need to cancel a booking made with Standbycairns.com we will always work for our customers and approach the supplier on your behalf for any and all refund entitlements. Of course some suppliers need to charge fees for late cancellations - so please always read the terms and conditions on your travel voucher.
