Our expert approach to corporate travel
We take time to understand your needs
Before we start planning for your next corporate trip, it’s crucial that we understand your exact requirements so that we can meet your expectations. In fact, this is the most important aspect of corporate travel plans, as it gives us a chance to truly understand your needs and make sure that the arrangements we make are suitable.
Whether you decide to give us control of your trip from start to finish, or you need some assistance in managing certain aspects of it, we will take the time to understand your needs before we get started on doing any of the planning.
The first step in getting to know you and your needs will be understanding your travel preferences - for instance, your preferred seat on a plane, dietary preferences, frequent flyer numbers or hotel membership numbers. We will also act as a travelling concierge for you, making sure we keep tabs on things like your ID expiration date to make sure you never un into any hiccups while on your business trips.
We are proactive
That leads us onto the next key element of corporate travel planning. We will always be proactive and make sure to stay on track with travel patterns to keep your corporate travel as streamlined as possible. Getting to know where and how often you travel for work is part of what makes uTravel a stand out business travel agency. By anticipating your demands ahead of time, we can ensure that you are well quipped to arrange the booking smoothly and in a time effective way, as and when the travel requests comes through. This is especially important if the executives in your company are travelling to obscure and remote destinations and small towns that are not so easy to get to.
By identifying your needs in advance, we can efficiently plan your trip.

Our travel policies are reliable and detailed, allowing us to always be prepared for any situation. We know plans can change - whether this is under your control or due to external circumstances - so we have taken the time to work on travel policies that would address the protocol for any given inconvenience. Though this isn’t necessarily something that will directly affect you, knowing that your chosen travel agents have reliable travel policies in place will give you the peace of mind you need to know that there is always an alternative plan of action.
A travel policy also ensures you can be aware of what you’re entitled to ahead of time, eventually eliminating the risk of running into unexpected surprises at the very last minute.
