Ancillary services refer to all the 'extras' that tourists may need when going on holiday or on a business trip. Many travel agents offer ancillary services to their customers and make good commission on these products that they sell to them.
For example with travel insurance if your luggage is lost at the airport, the travel insurance would cover that and help and secure you along the way of finding your luggage. For car hire you would need to have a valid drivers licence to drive over in a different country, therefore if you was going somewhere, where you would need to travel to far distance places a car hire would be reasonable and useful, then you would have to pay for the insurance on that car, to use it abroad. Some examples of of ancillary services are car hire which can be booked by Hertz organisations, theatre ticket bookings which can be booked online through ticket master and travel insurance which can be booked by Marks and Spencer travel insurance or can also be bought directly through the travel agents. These include: 1.) Travel insurance 2.) Foreign exchange 3.) Car hire 4.) Airport packing 5.) Luggage transportation 6.) Tour guiding 7.) Equipment hire 8.) Luggage 9.) Chauffeur drive services 10.)
