Globetrotter is an online travel booking platform that offers competitive rates on hotel accommodation, transfers and car rentals to South African travellers. Globetrotter was launched as we saw the need for South Africans to have a local online site to book local and international travel in RANDS. Our aim at Globetrotter is provide South Africans with value for money travel services. PAY IN RAND This means that once you make the booking, the amount you see is the amount you pay. If you make payment immediately, that is exactly the amount deducted from your account. When using other online sites, you are usually paying in either US Dollars or Euros. Once you book, the amount you will pay will depend on your bank’s closing selling rate (plus their fees) for that currency and may not necessarily be the same as reflected as on the site. With the book now pay later/pay at the hotel options they offer, you run such a huge risk, one silly comment or tweet from a country’s leader can send the Rand spiraling down. LOCAL CALL CENTRE & SUPPORT We offer a local call centre with a local number, but much more, we offer support over live chat and via Whatsapp or via Skype. If you have any questions or concerns you can contact us on our landline during office hours. You can also get in touch via the online live chat or you can call or message us via Whatsapp +27 (0) 65 926 0906 and we can assist immediately. PEACE OF MIND We provide you with peace of mind when booking on the site. We accept credit card and EFT payments via secure online payment methods from PayFast and SID. For all paid hotel bookings, we will provide you a with a reconfirmation of your booking directly from the hotel. For airline and cruise bookings you can recheck the booking directly on the relevant sites with the reference numbers generated from the booking.
