Is booking via ThreeSteps more expensive than booking direct at a booking platform?

No, not at all!

ThreeSteps transfers you to its partner platforms and from there you research and book as usual. Same offers, same prices. BUT by booking via ThreeSteps you make money back, so it is always cheaper than at the platform direct.

With Cashback from ThreeSteps, you even beat the sometimes offered best price guarantees of the booking platforms. You book your trip with best price guarantee at the platform and after returning you receive your Cashback from ThreeSteps.
