The reason they do not want to deal with particular car rental firms, airlines, hotels, etc. is because many of their customers have been burned by these people. An agency can't expect to get repeate bussiness if the plane they book you on is late, they lose or damage your baggage, the car rental place leaves you waiting for an hour at midnight, and your room isn't ready. Travel agents make their money off corporate accounts, but it's the people like you and me that they have to please in order to show a good profit.
