railagent.com.au delivers profitabilty for agents
A powerful rail travel planning tool, live connectivity to European railroads and online access to Italy’s Trenitalia system are key features of the new www.RailAgent.com.au website launched by International Rail Australasia.
www.RailAgent.com.au delivers significant financial benefits to travel agents, by absorbing credit card booking fees (which agents may still choose to bill to clients), allowing agents to add their own 100% commissionable fees to invoices, and delivering immediate commission cheques or payment via EFT.
The website uses highly sophisticated online technology developed by Wandrian Inc, the American-based global rail specialists who were the first company in the world to sell rail passes online and offer real-time reservations on a European rail network. A full inventory of product including live availability for rail travel in Europe, rail products for UK, USA, Canada, Japan, New Zealand and Australia is offered on www.RailAgent.com.au.
International Rail Australasia is a wholly-owned subsidiary of International Rail Limited UK, which is in turn owned by Wandrian Inc. The Australian company is headed by Managing Director Jonathan Hume, who has 12 years experience in the Australian travel industry.
Mr Hume said www.RailAgent.com.au’s free rail planning tool, Rail Saver, allows agents to quickly calculate the most cost-effective combination of passes or tickets for their clients, and to book complex itineraries in minimal time.
“We have a recent case where an agent was able to cut their clients’ rail travel costs by almost 50 per cent, saving them more than $800 on an itinerary through France, Italy, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia and Prague.
“There are now so many rail passes and point-to-point fares available that it’s impossible to quickly find the best deal without a tool such as Rail Saver.”
Mr Hume said agents would find significant benefits in the online access to Trenitalia, because of the growth of inter-country European rail travel amongst mature Australian FIT clients.
