Online dynamic travel comparison launched
A dynamic travel comparison service has been created by travelsupermarket.com.
The travel price comparison site claims to be able to simultaneously search the best price for a flight, hotel and car rental from more than 120 suppliers.
The new functionality delivers comprehensive results in under 30 seconds, the company says.
Users of the site have the choice to search for flight, hotel or car rental separately or combine each search so they can receive simultaneous results for flights and car rental, or flights, car rental and hotels.
The company said: “In essence, they will be able to ‘dynamically’ package their own holiday by choosing from the best deals from element of travel. This could mean that they choose to combine a charter flight option from www.thomsonfly.com, with a five star hotel from www.hotelClub.com and an estate car from www.holidayautos.com, the options are endless.”
Director Chris Nixon said: “The choice of online travel options is becoming so wide that people can feel bewildered when searching for the best travel deal.
“It is the purpose of our website to make life easier, by cutting through all the travel websites, be they specialist car rental sites, accommodation sites, or more general sites such as lastminute.com or ebookers.com, to ensure that our end-user knows where the best options are for their requirements.
“As ‘self-packaging’ becomes more popular, people are ‘savvy’ to the fact that it is worth shopping around for the best deal for each component of their holiday. Our new dynamic travel comparison delivers a seamless and effective way in find the best deals which would otherwise involve hours of frustrated time searching online.”
