Many hotels today have a fixed slot for the room even if it is not required but when you talk about Bag2Bag they are offering a service which is definitely the need of hour looking at various segments of people that have availed the service.
How did you find the idea?
The idea was essentially developed by realising our own pain when we have paid a hefty amount of money for hotel rooms while travelling for exams, interviews or even leisure. We started doing some research and spoke with friends and found it a real pain exists in this fast-changing world. Our mode of travel has become so fast that in a single day we have a meeting in Bangalore and another in Singapore, we have started renting cars and bikes instead of buying them, even our size of luggage has become so light, but we are still stuck in legacy style regular 24-hour hotel booking. This must change and in fact evolving very fast.
