    How's it going ,
    Me and 7 of my friends are looking to go away to Santa ponsa this summer. We've been to a couple of travel agents and the deposits they've been asking for has been too much . Does anybody know a cheap enough travel agents with low deposits?
    Also what is the deposit based on is it the company itself that sets it?
    Thanks.
    Gerry.

    Click and Go require a €1 deposit
    https://www.clickandgo.com/

    As for the varying deposit's it depends, some of the external companies like hotels/airlines/transfers can charge the agent a fee if you decide to cancel the booking so that's why it varies and I'm sure some of the agents take a fee if you decide to cancel it.

    They have being around for many years and they work with Aer Lingus so I can't see them going anywhere soon.
