From the publisher...
Do you really need to buy extra insurance for your rental car? What can you do if your hotel "can’t find" your reservation? What happens if your tour operator goes out of business before you get to go on your trip?

Know your rights as a traveler and avoid nasty surprises. Whether you’re traveling for business or pleasure, this book will show you how to travel smart and get the service you deserve. Learn how to:

· take steps in advance to avoid hassles when traveling · negotiate with airlines, tour operators, rental car companies, cruise personnel, hotels and other travel providers when there’s a problem · understand unusual laws and regulations—including what’s written in the fine print or even unwritten · get fair compensation for unresolved problems after your trip · protect yourself against illegal or unfair travel practices.

The second edition has been completely revised and updated.
