Why should I use a Corporate Travel Specialist such as EF Travel & Events?

We regularly hear from people that they have no need to use a partner for their Corporate Travel and yes this is true for some companies. However, there are a lot more things that you need to consider.

As an employer, do you really want every member of your team spending half their day looking for the cheapest flight or trying to figure out which hotel is nearest to the venue and in budget? What about the distance from the airport? How much will the taxi cost? Will everyone be sharing taxis? Is everyone flying at the same time from the same airport? Is everyone arriving on the same day? Is anyone staying on later for client visits? Is it really cheaper to fly somewhere further out and then get a cab for 3 hours?... Thanks to the Airline that shall not be named…

Corporate Travel Specialists will not only save you money, but they will also save you time. Your travel partner will have access to exclusive deals and discounts, developed through their relationships with key Airlines and Hotel Partners, the majority of these deals are not available to everyone. This means you won’t have to spend hours searching for the best offer, it is already at their fingertips. Another area that could be particularly helpful are the flexible payment options available, including staggered payments and group invoicing.

By supplementing your internal teams, who generally have something else to do other than booking flights and hotels, you will save time and money across the board and free up your resources.

Corporate Travel Partners can help organisations create tailored Travel Policies that enable strong control over travel budgets and expenses. This can be broken down into Department, Location or Event for example, enabling detailed reporting and trackability.

As part of your travel policy, you need to consider your duty of care to your employees and maintain their compliance. Your Travel Partner will ensure that your travel policy is followed, your employees are safe throughout their trip, and you have a strategy in place to deal with any problems. Travel support for your team is vital especially when travelling in different time zones, with potentially no access to the office team in the middle of the night. Your travel partner will eliminate this dilemma and be the first point of contact if a difficult situation arises. A detailed Travel Itinerary will be provided to your travellers, so they know where they need to be and when, again looking to eliminate any pitfalls along the way.
