Package inclusion comparator

The comparator puts your quotes side by side, one row per item, so you can see what each package covers and what it leaves to you. Its main idea is simple: a blank is not a zero. If a quote does not mention airport transfers, the tool shows unknown, and that is your cue to ask.

Use it after you have two or more quotes in hand. If you are still choosing a destination, start with the region chooser first.

What does the comparator actually do?

It lists the parts of an Indonesia trip where quotes differ most. These include hotel or villa, private driver and vehicle, airport transfers, sightseeing tickets, meals, the tourist levy, flights from Malaysia, insurance and tips.

For each quote, you mark a row as included, excluded or unknown. The result shows the matrix side by side, with unknown rows highlighted so they do not hide inside a headline price.

How should you read the result?

Read it row by row, not by total. Two quotes can be close in ringgit and far apart in what you receive.

Look first at the unknown rows. Every unknown is a question for the agency, and the answer can move the price either way. Then look at the excluded rows, and ask who pays for them and when.

Focus on the rows that matter to your group.

A family with grandparents may care most about driver hours and vehicle size. A Muslim traveller may care most about how meals are handled, so ask the agency for a meal-by-meal list. Look for the halal logo of BPJPH (Badan Penyelenggara Jaminan Produk Halal), Indonesia’s halal agency.

What assumptions sit behind it?

The tool compares only what you type in. It does not know whether a quote is accurate, and it does not check any supplier. It also has no live prices.

Two quotes are comparable only when the dates, party size and room setup match. If one quote is for four nights and the other for five, adjust the row before drawing a conclusion.

For Bali, the tourist levy is paid on the official portal and is sometimes excluded from packages, so confirm who pays it. Read the Bali package price guide for what sits in each row.

What should you do after comparing?

Send the unknown rows back to the agency as questions and ask for the answers in writing. Update the matrix, then compare again.
