Custom Business Travel Management with Teplis Travel

The travel marketplace is constantly changing. Yet as it changes daily, many factors remain the same. We have over three decades experience supporting corporate travel programs and we can make a difference in yours. If you have been allowing your travelers to book as they please over the Internet because online travel sites do not charge an initial fee, you are not actually saving money. The value of a comprehensive managed travel program greatly exceeds any savings derived from a lower transaction fee. The bigger your account the greater the value. We regularly save our larger clients tens of thousands of dollars a year in just upgrades alone.

With a managed travel program:

• Your travelers can make air, car and hotel reservations, all in a few minutes.  No wasting precious time on the internet checking multiple websites for the best deal. Your employees need to spend their time working on your core business activity, not trying to be their own agent.
   
• We will look at all options and get the best fares. Travel agencies are your only source of unbiased information. We work hard to get the best value for your corporate travel dollar.
   
• What if your traveler’s plans change and they bought a nonrefundable ticket? Teplis can void the transaction during the week it was issued.  You can’t do that if they bought the ticket from the airline or a travel website. We save some clients over $100,000 each year just by voiding tickets.
   
• Unused tickets. We track your electronic tickets and will remind travelers to reuse them. Who will do this for you if your travelers are booking their own travel over various websites?
   
• Travel Policy Compliance. Many experts believe that Frequent Flyer programs have driven the cost of corporate travel up as much as 20%. A managed travel program ensures you’re buying the lowest fare in the market, not the one with the most traveler miles. Does your charge card report tell you if the lowest fare was purchased? Our travel reports do.
   
• Do your travelers know what category to book their flight in to get an upgrade?  We do. Will they remember to call it in at exactly 72 hours or 24 hours?  Our software does! Plus with our specially negotiated Agency Specific Benefits your travelers will enjoy complimentary upgrades on selected carriers when they need them the most, those long haul flights to Europe and Asia.
   
• Use the buying power of our membership in three major travel consortia.
  Teplis is a member of three of the largest consortia in the industry, giving your travelers the lowest possible hotel rate. If they bought a bargain rate on the internet and plans change, can they get a refund? With our program their credit card isn’t even charged until they check in.
   
• 24 Hour Emergency Helpline Service. We’re there when your traveler’s flight has been delayed or canceled. Don’t let them be caught in a strange place with no one to turn to!
   
• Still sure you want your travelers to book online? Then consider Cliqbook®, which allows your travelers to book online, but the ticketing is done by us, travel policy compliance is enforced, and everything appears on your travel reports. Save money on transaction fees, and enjoy all the benefits above.
