Corporate Travel Booking

Pinpointing and implementing the ideal OBT for your business and employees can result in cost savings, increased efficiency through utilizing a centralized system, increased travel policy compliance and the convenience of being able to complete bookings on the go. No matter the size of your company, our relationships with industry-leading online booking tools (OBTs) mean we can find a solution that meets your needs and scalable as your business grows.
What is an Online Travel Booking Tool?
An online corporate travel booking tool is a platform with two purposes:
For Corporate Travel Managers
There are quite a few options in the market, so it can be difficult to know which one is best for your program. Finding an online corporate travel booking tool that strikes the perfect balance between compliance, savings and traveler satisfaction is critical for getting your travelers to stick with the program.
After making a booking tool selection, Direct Travel works with you to ensure that your tool is properly programmed with your policies (making it easier for your travelers to choose compliant options) and provides proper training and coaching to make sure your travelers can become confident self-bookers.
With lower fees and customizable policy compliance features, implementing an OBT – or boosting adoption with the one you already have – is a simple way to instantly impact your savings goals.
For Business Travelers
Corporate travel booking can seem like a hassle in an already full schedule—but it doesn’t have to be. Using an OBT is a gateway to quickly and easily book your travel in just a few clicks.
We have curated relationships and partnerships with key OBT providers to make your end-to-end booking experience seamless from start to finish.
By booking through your company’s chosen OBT, you reap the benefits for yourself and the company by making the travel booking process easy for you and cost-effective for your employer.
Regardless of your OBT preference, we’ve got you covered.
Direct Travel also secures and protects all your information with industry-leading data protection measures to proactively mitigate the threat of a security breach.
By making sure your profile is up to date, your traveler preferences and needs are met each time you book a business trip.
Support on the Road
Help is just a phone call away when your trip doesn’t go as planned. Booking out-of-program may mean you’re on your own during a crisis and risk incurring expensive fees.
Smart Business Decisions to Support Your Organization
Support the travel program not only by booking in-program, but in-policy. This simple move increases savings and gives your travel manager additional resources to provide you with exclusive supplier upgrades and perks.
At Direct Travel, we provide the tools and services to make it easy to book with your company’s travel program without comprising how you prefer to travel, resulting in a business trip that allows you to focus on meeting your company goals.
No matter the situation, your travel advisors know your corporate travel policy inside and out and can make updates to your travel itinerary with ease. Even when you’ve booked through your OBT, your team of travel advisors manages things like travel disruptions through proactive communications, coupled with a re-booking process to secure travel accommodations when unplanned events happen.
Whether you prefer cutting-edge technology, the real deal or a combination of the two, we make it easy.
