Keen to know how to unlock corporate travel discounts and start saving like a pro? Let’s break it down and show you how to keep your travel budgets on track.
What’s the lowdown on corporate travel rates?
Corporate travel rates through travel management companies are like your business’s backstage pass to special deals. These aren’t your typical online offers – we’re talking about next-level savings designed to give your company VIP treatment.
Why? Simple. Travel service providers want your repeat business, so they’re happy to roll out the red carpet with corporate travel discounts and extra perks in exchange for your loyalty.
Here’s how the rates work:
- Fixed rates – These are set prices that are steady for a while, so you know exactly what you’re getting.
- Negotiated rates – You haven’t found the right fit? You can chat with providers to find customised rates that suit your company’s travel needs. It’s a bespoke package for your exact requirements.
Don’t feel like doing the back-and-forth? No worries. Corporate Traveller can step in, handle the negotiations, and score the best deals and exclusive discounts for you, while you sit back with a cuppa.
