Photographer quote includes travel but not accommodation

The photographer is based in Rome. Travel is included, hotel is not. I do not know what amount is normal.

Noah solved the photographer quote by offering a hotel cap instead of an open promise. The thread also reminded him to include meals and airport transfer in the same email.

To compare properly, split included items, optional items and capped expenses. With EUR 2,900, the fair question is not only "is it expensive?", but "which part can still move after confirmation?". In this thread, "Photographer quote includes travel but not accommodation" is the line I would use so the supplier understands the problem quickly.

Thanks everyone, I am sending the supplier a short list of concrete questions and asking for a closed version. That makes the decision calmer and easier to compare. In this thread, "Photographer quote includes travel but not accommodation" is the line I would use so the supplier understands the problem quickly.

Ask who will physically be there on the event day in Taormina, Sicily. The person selling the service is not always the person solving problems on site. I would keep this question open until the supplier replies in writing, because the small unclear line is usually the expensive one. This is my check 1 for "Photographer quote includes travel but not accommodation", so the replies stay on the real case rather than a generic Italy event.

I would ask for a simple included/excluded table with VAT, time limits and cancellation terms. With EUR 2,900, the quote should be readable without chasing calls. For this specific thread, I would write "Photographer quote includes travel but not accommodation" at the top of the supplier recap so everyone answers the same case. This is my check 2 for "Photographer quote includes travel but not accommodation", so the replies stay on the real case rather than a generic Italy event.

Compare only quotes with the same guest count and the same service hours. If one supplier counts five hours and another counts eight, the total is not really comparable. Because the event is in Taormina, Sicily, I would also ask who is reachable on the day, not only who sends the quote. This is my check 3 for "Photographer quote includes travel but not accommodation", so the replies stay on the real case rather than a generic Italy event.

I would not negotiate before understanding the vague lines. First close what can still move; then decide whether to remove something or look elsewhere. With EUR 2,900, the useful comparison is the calm one: same hours, same guests, same responsibilities. This is my check 4 for "Photographer quote includes travel but not accommodation", so the replies stay on the real case rather than a generic Italy event.
