Business travel need not always cost an arm and a
leg. There are things you can do to reduce what
you spend when you travel on company time.
3
Hire a travel management company
  • A travel management company has the expertise
    that you need. They can give you prudent advice
    so that you do not spend on unnecessary expenses
    when you travel. They are familiar with the range
    of options that you can choose from and excellent
    prices that you can avail of.

4
Do advance booking
  • It is always less expensive when you make your
    travel requirements a few weeks in advance. You
    always get the best deals this way. You are able
    to get cheaper plane fares, car hire, rail fares
    and hotel accommodations. As a general rule,
    prices are always higher when you book your
    requirements close to your date of travel.

5
Re-think your options
  • Companies almost always use the same suppliers.
    They use the same airlines and make reservations
    in the same hotels. Look into the possibility of
    staying in serviced apartments Central London. It
    may be wise to check other options every now and
    then to find out if you are getting the best
    deals. There may be other cheaper alternatives.

6
Use the train
  • If you do business within the UK, you may want
    to consider train travel instead of using the
    airlines. If you make your rail bookings in
    advance, you may enjoy significant savings.
    Travel by train can sometimes even be faster,
    considering that you save on precious time
    waiting around in airports.

7
 Fix the dates on your rail tickets
  • People who travel on business usually fix just
    their outbound train tickets and leave the return
    trip open. If you travel on business on a regular
    basis, you can fix your outbound train journey
    and save about a quarter of your total ticket
    outlay. Fixing both journeys can save you a
    whopping 50.

8
  • Make sure that you know and use the tricks of
    the trade.
  • Business travel can come out cheaper if you use
    certain tricks to your advantage.
  • If your schedule permits, include Saturday night
    stays in your itinerary and bring travel costs
    down.
  • Look into the possibility of using a bundled
    business package. The cost is likely to be
    reduced when you are able to combine flights,
    transfers, and hotel accommodations in the price.
  • When you plan business travel, evaluate your
    options using the cost/service basis and not just
    the mileage reward considerations. You may be
    able to get a better price.
  • Opt for less expensive accommodations. Serviced
    apartments Earls Court are recognized for lower
    price and good service.
  • Plan your trips efficiently. Combine trips when
    you can. If you are going to a certain place,
    look into making additional appointments with
    other clients so that you bring down the amount
    of travel and its costs.

9
  • You can make significant savings on your
    business travel if you take the time to sit down
    and come up with smart ideas and make some tweaks
    on your travel arrangements.
