Before comparing two packages
- Use the same dates, room type, care hours and number of rides.
- Ask about taxes, deposits, minimum stays, waiting charges and cancellation terms.
- Mark an included item once so you do not count it twice.
- Keep an unresolved-cost list and a separate amount for changes to your plans.
- If financing, record the total repayment, interest and fees separately from the cash quote.
