Working with Authorized Agents and TravelMakers has been a great experience! I always loved booking trips and getaways for family and friends, but never actually got reimbursed for it. Now that I am an IVAR, I am finally getting paid for those trips! The best part is that Authorized Agents is a part of a nationwide consortium (offering incredibly low prices, and working with only the best vacation suppliers). Now complete strangers are even calling me to book their vacations! (member 9 years)

I have been an IVAR (independent vacation representative) for seven years now and love it. I checked around other places first. Authorized Agents was the best agency that I found. The support group is great and very helpful. Also, they offer training classes that you can take if you want. They send emails with helpful hints and let you know about travel agent rates. It's the best job I've had in 22 years! (Member 7 years)

There are a lot of agencies out there that charge you hundreds of dollars to become an outside agent, not so with Authorized Agents. They have so many great people to help you out and give you advice. The program is exceptional, and I would recommend it to anyone looking to be an outside agent. (Member 7 years)
