Frequently Asked Questions

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?

While we do offer GDS access to experienced GDS advisors (Sabre, Amadeus), we do not train anyone to use the GDS system.

It's a common misconception that advisors must use the GDS in order to sell air tickets. Not only is this not true, but advisors can be quite successful without using this advanced tool. 

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.
  • Strong supplier support from our preferred suppliers.
  • Bi-weekly webinars.
  • A very active online forum where agents can ask questions and share advice.
  • Our yearly UTC 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 $1000 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 cloned 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 that you get your own policy.

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 tools though Virtuoso, social media support through our website company Passport Online, 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.
