How can my company save money and get access to corporate travel discount programs?
There are many ways businesses can save money on business travel. The tactics they choose depend on factors including company culture and the set-up of their corporate travel program. By working with a travel management company like FCM, companies can:
- Access corporate travel rates that we have negotiated with travel service providers that no others have.
- Still earn and use points from loyalty programs, and sign up for business loyalty schemes on top, saving on overall travel expenses.
- Choose company credit cards to pay, which provide additional benefits such as travel-related perks.
- Get expert advice on the most optimal options via FCM Platform or a dedicated business travel consultant (hint: it's always weekdays that have lower prices, avoid the weekends).

How do I negotiate my own travel deals?
Firstly, you need to have a solid understanding of your entire travel budget. Then, you need a picture of the minimum spend on categories such as international flights, hotel chains, and car hire companies. A travel management company like FCM could save your company time by consolidating your travel bookings into one place, enabling you to view business travel-based reports and data easily.
Once you have a better understanding of your budget and overall travel management needs across the business, you can start to approach travel service providers for negotiation. We'd advise you have a travel partner by your side like FCM to help.
