In one of our articles, we have already told you that it's not an easy task to sell transfers to elderly tourists. But sometimes, such tourists already have some travel experience and realize the advantages of private transfers. In this case, use the cheat sheet which will remind you about the things you may offer to your older travelers.

But more often, elderly travelers and their relatives who arrange a tour for them experience doubts and fears when it comes to booking a transfer. In this case, you should tell them about the disadvantages of other forms of transportation compared to transfers.

When taking a tour for their elderly parents, children worry about lots of things. But what they worry about the most is exactly the ride to the destination. At the airport, they see their parents off themselves. At the hotel, these travelers are met by the attentive staff. It's important to reassure your elderly travelers' relatives that our driver will meet their parents at the airport, help them with their baggage, and take them right to their hotel safely and comfortably.

As you can see, working with this type of travelers requires more attention. That's why our team is always ready to provide you with a consultation and help you choose the right transfer. At the same time, we give travel agents a 10–15% commission for each booking. To get your commission, you need to be registered in Kiwitaxi's partnership program.
