I made the best decision of my travel career by joining the Uniglobe Travel Center host agency family. I know that the back office support, the executive team and my fellow UTC colleagues have played a huge role in the success of my company. I participated in UTC's Mentor U program in 2018, not knowing a lot about the industry, and was later awarded UTC Rookie of the Year 2019 at our annual conference in 2020. I am now a Conde Nast Travel Top Travel Specialist for 2023. UTC agents help and support each other, and cheer each other on. It's an amazing group!
I highly recommend Uniglobe as a host agency. I have been in the business for 40 years. A few years ago, in looking for a new way to do business, I found Uniglobe.
Every answer to any question I asked them blew my mind.
They want me to maintain my company name.
They don't care if we do business elsewhere (but after a few months you will not want to ).
They give you vcom membership as part of the package.
The support is amazing. The people are so nice that after meeting a lot of them at various conventions I wish I lived in California so I could pop in and say hi once in a while.
They are very helpful if you have a question or need assistance with something.
Their partner relationships help you accomplish a lot if you have a valid problem with a supplier. Partners love them and they treat their partners like family.
Those who have been members far longer than me (March 2013) talk about them being like a family. Even though I am on the east coast, I can see that.
I would find it hard to believe that there is a better host out there. I gave up my office, staff, phone bills, ARC, commission tracking, employees, and driving through winter snow to earn more money with much fewer expenses
I love Uniglobe!
I worked for a local travel agency in my city of Louisville, KY for more than 26 years. After my office was closed down, I decided it was time to go out on my own. I was introduced to Uniglobe Travel Center by a friend of mine who had great things to say about them.
After working as an independent agent with Uniglobe for about 5 years, I realize I had wasted too much time with an agency that really didn't care about you and your business.
With Uniglobe Travel, if I have a problem (computer, airlines, tour company), I can call them and talk to a person (who I have meet) who really cares. I never have to wait for help from them. The commissions from cruise line, tour companies and airlines doesn't get any better.
You will not find a better host agency to work with than Uniglobe Travel Center!!! They treat you like family. Honestly!
Uniglobe Travel has been my host agency for 11 years. I have nothing but positive things to say about UTC. They are extremely professional to work with, answer questions/concerns promptly and most importantly, want to help me grow my business so we are all successful!
I would not hesitate to recommend Uniglobe Travel Center to any agent/agency looking for a host agency. Top-notch people. Top-notch business.
When I started considering a home-based agency, I had a lot of questions and hesitation. But as soon as I found out Uniglobe was hosting, my decision was made. I didn't even want to research any other host companies. After having had a Uniglobe franchise/storefront 15-20 years ago, I knew that Uniglobe was the best and most reliable name in travel. I knew the support and training for Uniglobe Travel Center would be as fantastic as it was for the franchise. I was right. There's nothing as reassuring as having the Uniglobe name behind you when you are dealing with suppliers.
We are an on-site corporate travel office issuing 400-500 airline tickets every month along with the corresponding hotels and rental cars. 99.9 percent are booked via the GDS (Sabre). We were with American Express for over 10 years. We have an awesome travel team with extensive experience and really manage our organization’s travel quite well. When Amex decided to re-nig on our last contract and eliminate hotel commissions we went looking. Uniglobe Travel Center offered us exactly what we were looking for and more! We realized that we didn’t need to pay exorbitant rates for someone to tell us that we manage our travel so well. Uniglobe offered a much lower transaction fee, 100% commission return, monthly reporting, and the bonus is an excellent support and accounting staff! The entire staff at Uniglobe Travel Center can best be described as professional, responsive, cooperative, knowledgeable, concerned, open, persistent, expeditious, sincere, friendly, and simply amazing! We have been with Uniglobe Travel Center for almost 4 years and look forward to a long and lasting relationship. Thank you!

After only one year I was cut loose from my previous hosted travel company with no warning and only 1 week to find another.
Uniglobe has been wonderfull! I feel I wasted a year with the other company. Uniglobe has given me more training. Things as a new agent I never knew were out there . I get more confident every day. Carol and Rose are doing an outstanding job!
If you feel alone and want to be successful I highly recommend Uniglobe!
Uniglobe travel is a magnificent host agency. They are multilingual which is important in today's travel industry. Uniglobe is extremely supportive to their members. Educational opportunities are always available from marketing plans to product education. The members of Uniglobe are a true family always helping one another with travel questions. You will not go wrong if you join Uniglobe.
I've been a home-based agent since 1990. For the first 15 years, I had a local host agency. I moved to Uniglobe because they offered 100% commission, membership in Vacation.com, great commission rates with suppliers I used, and they would allow two agents to have GDS hookup for the same monthly fee.
Any questions I have(generally I submit them via email) are answered right away either by phone or via email, commissions are paid on time, and I get any help I need with GDS issues. I can see the status of my commissions (what has been paid, what is currently being paid, and what bookings are still open) at any time through their online agent center. In addition to being really efficient, they are genuinely nice people who are always pleasant to deal with. I highly recommend them.
I am currently finishing up my 18th. year with my agency and owe a great deal of my success to Uniglobe Travel. Actually without them and some of their key personnel I would not still be in business. Never once have I asked for help that we did not get in a very prompt and professional manner. The other Uniglobe agency owners are great to work with and to meet with when we can make it to the annual conference. Hands on help, professional attitude and a full knowledge of the current markets, innovations and incentives are a daily way of life. These people are totally dedicated and professional. Their industry knowledge is unparalleled and is constantly updated. They receive my very deepest appreciation highest regards and for all they have done for me, my fellow agency owners and the travel industry. Uniglobe spells "success". You're the best!

Center. It seems appropriate that it was Valentine's Day because I love what they have done for my business. If you are looking for a host agency that is a real partner, that supports your business and personal growth and that is vested in your success, look no further. Join and "Be Amazing!"
