1. Rewards count when it comes to business travel
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]A good loyalty program is a must-have in 2021. You can earn points, perks, and rewards worth up to hundreds of dollars per year.
What to do: Once you find a preferred airline or lodging provider, stick with that company. This will allow you to earn rewards toward free hotel stays and/or frequent flyer miles. Other perks may include free WIFI, access to VIP lounges, early check-in and priority boarding options–overall these loyalty advantages will reduce your stress while traveling and ultimately save you big bucks in the long run.

2. Ditch the rental
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]One of the most expensive and overlooked costs when it comes to traveling is transportation. How many times have you gone to book a rental car and the website advertises cars for $10/day but once you get to checkout the total cost + fees = (insert astronomical amount here)?
-
- Pro Tip: If you’re like most riders you probably pull your phone out and request your lift at the very minute you need to go. But if you plan your Lyft or Uber ride in advance (hours, or even the day before) it could potentially save you from high-volume price increases.
- Book a hotel within walking distance to your worksite and other necessities like restaurants, convenience stores, etc.
- Book a hotel that has shuttle service (5 mile radius, airport pick up/drop off)
- Book a hotel within walking distance to ground transportation
- Pro Tip: All-day or round-trip ground transportation passes are usually much cheaper than one-way fares.

3. It pays to be thoughtful about your company’s lodging process
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]We live in a D-I-Y world. The good news: there are more travel options available than ever before. The bad news: more options = more decisions. From comparing hotel rates, booking rooms for traveling personnel, reconciling folios, and more…honestly ask yourself, how much is the “do it yourself” method costing the company?
What to do: Hire a lodging management service geared specifically towards helping workforce travelers. A service like Globeo gives you the tools to book, manage, and reconcile lodging all in one place. We’ll do all the work and you can take all the credit.

4. The best days to book flights and accommodations
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]At the top of the list of expenses, airfare and lodging can and will take a big chunk out of your trip costs. Some say it’s all about the luck of the draw when it comes to finding the best prices. Others say there’s a science behind the madness.
-
-
-
- Plan ahead. Try not to book trips at the last minute to avoid higher rates.
- Check flight prices over the week and see where they appear to be the cheapest.
- Avoid booking flights or hotels on weekends and “peak seasons” as trends suggest that it will cost you more due to the volume of travelers.
- Consider adding days onto your trip for better savings. Think about it like this, will the cost of staying another “x” days outweigh the costs of a more expensive flight or hotel room if you booked it sooner?
- Purchase a refundable ticket or room to avoid any cancellation/costly change fees.
