Business Travel, taken care of with Uber for Business
Ground transport is often the forgotten piece of the puzzle when it comes to business travel. However, it can be time-consuming and challenging to manage, with individuals constantly on the move in different cities, or making frequent trips to and from airports.
As a PA or EA, you want to feel confident that any transport you’re booking is reliable, safe and comfortable. Executives don’t want to be dealing with delays that make them late for important meetings. They also want enough space to both work and rest while on the move.
More than 170,000 organisations globally trust Uber for Business to keep the people within their business moving. This includes half of the Fortune 500. When you use the Uber for Business platform, you gain access to the largest mobility network in the world – with the Uber app available in 70+ countries and 10,000 cities.
As an EA or PA using Uber for Business, you’ll benefit from a number of features that not only make your life easier when booking and expensing travel, but also create a seamless experience for your executive.
Centralised hub
The Uber Central dashboard allows you to book and manage rides for your executives in one place, via your desktop. You can use it to see the status of in-progress and upcoming trips, and send trip details straight to an executive’s mobile – even if they don’t have the Uber app.
You can also access dedicated online support 24/7 and schedule single recurring rides up to 30 days in advance, or up to 90 days with Uber Reserve. This is ideal when executives are making frequent trips to the airport and you want to ensure that they are picked up at a specific time.
Easy expensing
Expenses are an essential part of business travel – but they’re often a headache to manage. Uber for Business integrates with leading expense providers, such as SAP Concur and Expensify. This means that receipts for executive trips can flow directly into your expense provider dashboard – saving the time it would take to track them down manually and making life easier for executives.
You can also use the Uber for Business dashboard to access automated real-time and monthly reports on activity and spending from your executives, in detail or at a glance. This provides visibility over how they’re travelling, enabling you to spot discrepancies, identify efficiency opportunities and improve control by setting spending caps.
Premium options
Through Uber for Business, you can provide your executive with a range of premium trip options to suit their needs. When an executive wants a premium car to get to a meeting with a client, for example, they can book a high end vehicle through Uber Exec. Or if they’re travelling to a speaking engagement, they can opt for a luxury vehicle through Uber Lux.
Sustainability reporting
With more organisations looking to reach their sustainability targets, greener business travel has become a higher priority. Uber for Business enables you to monitor the environmental impact of your executives’ trips.
Every no- and low-emission ride that they take is automatically calculated, tracked and measured via your company dashboard – so you can report back on key stats such as total emissions and CO2 emissions per kilometre at any time.
