6 ways to save money on your corporate travel spend
We know there are numerous frustrations facing anyone responsible for the travel arrangements of their business.
From expensive flights to appointments that change after bookings are confirmed, corporate travel challenges can get in the way of your job.
We’ve put together a list of just six ways a business travel specialist can help save time and money, based on our own experiences.
1. Real time flight price comparison
We ensure the best price options are available to you as soon as they appear, by continually checking airlines travelling along particular routes.
From scheduled or charter flights to low cost and ‘no frills’ carriers, we compare them all to be certain of best value.
2. Responsive booking
If your travellers are putting together a complex itinerary, you may not want to commit to the ticket until all details and timeslots are confirmed.
But if you’ve found a great price, holding off from booking is a tough balancing act.
We monitor the best prices and maintain contact with you so that as soon as you know what the plans are, you can secure the best rate.
3. Squeezing every last drop of value
Budgets are always tight – and getting tighter.
We understand how important it is to get the most value out of your corporate travel spend and earn those few extra brownie points with your boss.
Our industry expertise and technical tips can often shave several more pounds off your final spend.
4. Bespoke budget reports
Why waste hours putting together (and triple checking) a budget report for a full year of corporate travel?
A quick call to one of our account managers with the details will result in an accurate and robust report to suit your requirements – in minutes, not hours.
5. Ease financial team headaches
If your finance team need to know whether travel is to be re-charged out to a customer, completely coded up invoices will help.
Rather than relying on balancing company credit card expenditure, a chargeable travel account with corresponding coded invoices will simplify things.
In addition, this process allows the rechargeable invoice to be paid more speedily.
6. Pinpoint accuracy, premium quality
Avoiding complex and confusing comparison sites that offer the box room next to the lift to save money is an understandable aim for any corporate travel customer.
With one email, you can avoid all this pain by letting an agent do the legwork and source trusted suppliers close to the location you need.
Armed with the best prices from reputable trade suppliers, we’ll find you the right room, in the right hotel, in the right place.
