The Truth About Discounts and the “Cheapest Price”

Everyone loves the feeling of scoring a great deal. Whether it's a flash sale or a rock-bottom hotel rate, finding the “cheapest price” feels like a win.

But here's something we've learned—and experienced firsthand:

The lowest price doesn’t always mean the best value.

Not all savings are about the lowest price—sometimes an upgrade with perks delivers more value.
💡 Travel Tip: Sorting by price is a great starting point—but it's not where your search should end.

Last year, my wife and I were planning a trip to Montreal. Like most travelers, we started with the usual online searches, sorting hotel listings by price. The cheapest we could find for a decent, well-rated hotel was around $180 per night. Not bad—but also not exactly inspiring.

Then we did what we always recommend to our clients: we dug a little deeper.

We discovered that the Fairmont Hotel—a much higher-end option—was running a special promo: stay 3 nights and get the 4th night free. Even better, it included free daily breakfast and a $100 food and beverage credit. All of a sudden, we weren’t just booking a hotel; we were getting a full experience, at a price that rivaled (and actually beat) the budget options.


🎯 Our Philosophy: It's not just about getting the cheapest rate—it's about getting the most value for your money.

This is what we aim to do for our clients at Rintoul Travel Adventures.

We may not always offer the absolute lowest price on paper—but we work hard to find the best value. That might mean exclusive perks, added amenities, or promotions you won't see on public booking sites.

Our goal isn’t just to save you money—it's to make your travel experience richer, more comfortable, and more rewarding.


So the next time you're planning a trip, ask yourself:

Do I want the cheapest price—or the best experience for my money?
