The invitation-only service begins with an [in-home consultation with an agent](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartrip-ai) that simplifies the process of putting together an itinerary. Being a member to the VIP service means that a traveler always has access to an agent who is able to arrange a trip at any time, including evenings and weekends.
