Corporate travel for small business FAQ

Do small businesses need a travel manager?

When you work for a small or medium-sized company, you probably don’t have the headcount for a dedicated travel manager. With Booking.com for Business, you don’t need one. In this free, easy-to-use platform, you can invite team members and assign roles. These roles determine who can book their own trips (flights, hotels, cars and other business travel extras) and who will have trips booked for them. You can also see upcoming bookings, set hotel budgets, add payment methods and track spend.

Why should a company use small business travel management software?

Travel management software like Booking.com for Business brings booking and oversight together in one place. No switching between platforms to book complete trips, or being unsure of where your team is and if hotel rooms are over budget. Instead, you can view everyone’s itineraries when you want and get real-time visibility of spend and traveller locations.

How can small businesses control business travel costs?

Using Booking.com for Business helps small businesses manage travel costs in a couple of ways. First of all, Booking.com for Business is 100% free to use – there are no subscription, booking or pricing plan fees. With Booking.com's Genius loyalty programme, you can save up to 20% on business travel and earn rewards like free breakfasts and free upgrades on select stays. And the dashboard spend tracker helps you keep an eye on costs and export this information into useful reports.

Does a small business need a business travel policy?

It’s a good idea for any size company to have a travel policy in place to control costs, track expenses and manage duty of care. For small and medium-sized businesses, a travel policy is essential because you’re working with smaller budgets that you need to keep a close eye on.

Having important information in one shareable document means team members can book work travel with confidence, and don’t have to spend time asking approval questions.

You can build your own travel policy with the Booking.com for Business online travel policy builder. Easily add budget, expense, duty of care and approval information, and then share your completed policy with your team.

Can employees book their own business travel?

As Administrator, you can invite your colleagues to join Booking.com for Business and assign their roles. It’s up to you whether they book their own travel or someone books for them.

How do I create a small business travel programme?

A travel programme is a system of rules and procedures that handles all aspects of your company’s business travel. When developing a travel programme, clearly define spending limits and booking guidelines, and include essential information for the regions your team travels to. Be sure to put metrics in place so you can measure whether the programme is delivering the results you want. Find out more in our guide to creating corporate travel programmes.
