Try Hays, you won’t be disappointed.

From the moment we walked through the door, we received the warmest of welcomes and were made to feel completely at ease.

It had been many years since we’d used a high street travel agent, but thanks to this experience, we’ll definitely be booking with Hays Travel Plymouth again.

Carol was absolutely outstanding. She was knowledgeable, professional, patient and genuinely friendly. She took the time to listen to exactly what we were looking for, offered excellent advice and recommendations, and made the whole experience enjoyable and completely stress-free.

Unfortunately, we ran out of time and had to leave before we could complete our booking. True to her word, Carol phoned us later that afternoon so we could finish everything from home. Even when we changed our travel dates at the very last minute, nothing was too much trouble. Her patience and commitment to making sure everything was exactly right were exceptional.

In an age where great customer service can be hard to find, Carol and the team at Hays Travel Plymouth have absolutely restored our faith. This is good old-fashioned customer service at its very best—professional, personal and delivered with a genuine smile.

A huge thank you, Carol. We can’t wait for our holiday, and we’ll certainly be back for our next one.

Not possible to give zero stars on this award winning Customer service travel agent

I’m a long‑standing customer of Hays Travel Plymouth. On my latest visit I ordered €1,000 and paid a £100 deposit, but when I came to collect the cash the ID requirements kept changing. I was asked for a passport, then a photo of it on my phone (later rejected), then further documents such as bank statements or utility bills, and phone statements were refused.
Head office later confirmed that their systems can trigger extra anti‑money‑laundering checks at collection and staff must follow them. I don’t dispute the need for legal checks, but as a regular customer with passport details already on file, I was never clearly told in advance what would be required and ended up making extra trips for nothing. Hays Travel promotes itself as an award‑winning, “excellent” customer service provider, yet in their final response they simply insisted the branch “acted correctly” and did not accept that their systems or processes might be flawed. My deposit was refunded, but the overall experience was confusing, inflexible and not customer‑friendly.

Thank you for sharing your feedback, Robin.

We are sorry to hear that your recent experience did not meet the standard of service you have come to expect from Hays Travel. Firstly, we appreciate your repeat business and value your feedback.

We understand how frustrating it must have been to experience uncertainty during the collection process and to have made additional visits when you were expecting a smoother experience.

Your comments have been noted and shared with the relevant teams as we continue to review the service we provide and look for ways to improve the customer journey. Unfortunately, there are guidelines in place that we must follow and they can vary based on the checks required on an individual basis.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience. We apologise that we were not able to resolve this matter for you.
