Corporate Traveller’s 5-step guide to saving on business travel

As a busy admin professional, the task of booking and managing business travel can fall onto your already busy shoulders.

Saving money on your business travel programme is not a one-off task. It’s a continual process where even small tweaks can make a bit impact.

Our travel experts have compiled a five-step guide for saving time and money on corporate travel:

1. Implement a travel policy
It should include:

• A per night hotel budget (some cities might need higher allowances than others)
• Cabin classes your employees can fly in
• How far in advance travel must be booked to take advantage of advance booking rates
• How your employees should request and book travel

2. Review your spend
It’s important to keep track of what your employees are booking, spending and to amend your travel policy accordingly. Implement a regular review of your travel policy with suggestions how to reduce your spend.

Better yet, partner with a travel management company to book, analyse and review your spend for you, freeing up your time.

3. Book discounted rates
Corporate Traveller, for example, offers the best value airfares and hotels in the UK because of the global negotiation strength of our parent company, Flight Centre Travel Group.

4. Corporate loyalty programmes
Register for corporate loyalty programmes to earn rewards then convert them into free travel or upgrades.

5. Travel technology
The right travel technology can help you book stress-free, discounted travel. For example, an online booking tool could save time your bookers time and offer discounted transaction fees.

At Corporate Traveller we help companies like yours to review their travel programmes, identifying where you could control costs and drive efficiencies.
