How do I become an independent travel consultant?

We Answered:

The only way you're going to be able to do that is to first be an agent with a host agency. In order to get your IATAN credentials you have to have already made $5,000 in a years time booking travel. It's like becoming a real estate broker, you can't become a real estate broker until you've been an agent first.

Plus, you're looking at several thousands of dollars to start up an agency. But, it's all a moot point. Suppliers aren't going to talk to you unless you've been a travel agent. The best thing to do is start with a host agency, that way you also don't have the financial risk. For all you know you might not end up liking it or not make the amount of income you need to make.

Get some experience, and then in a year start thinking about opening your own agency. Just dedicate a year to the industry, see if it's all you thought it would be, book a lot of travel and create good realtionships with suppliers and get a good reputation, and then you'll have no problem starting up your own agency.

Or you could purchase an existing agency, but again you're looking at $50,000+ to do that.

If I'm the victim of a car accident, do I have access to this?

We Answered:

You can file a request to the DMV. They have forms for that if it is involving a traffic accident and you need information to find them for the case. Sometimes they make it be filled out by the lawyer, but I guess if you are representing yourself, then they might let you make the request. They will make you pay a fee and sign some forms probably, but that's the agency you would probably do that with. If you asked the police, they would have to do the same thing probably.

Carmen Said:

Our car was hit- what is our insurance company's responsibility?

We Answered:

I have to guess at some important details that you didn't include.

First off, let me guess. You either live in Chicago metro or the other driver is from there? If I remember correctly American Access is one of the dozen or so crappy auto insurance companies in the Chicago Metro area. Long time claim adjusters call these companies the "dirty dozen" because they will offer you 50% on a claim that they should pay at 100%.

Secondly, the key to your problem is simple..........Do you have collision coverage with Met Life?

If you do have collision coverage then have Met Life repair your car then they will sue American Access for the repair money and the deductible you will pay.

If you do NOT have collision coverage then you are in a big mess. Without collision coverage you have to deal with American Access and if they are the company I'm thinking of. The bad news is that if you don't have collision coverage then your insurance company can't officially help you collect from the other company.

If you don't have collision coverage and you do live in the Chicago then you might as well file a lawsuit against the other driver right now.

Good Luck
