Benefits of Working with The Travel Company Edinburgh

By consolidating your travel spend with your preferred Travel Management Company, The Travel Company Edinburgh, we are able to work closely with your procurement/purchasing department to ensure that best value is provided for all your travel requirements. By travel policy adherence, proactive account management and the extensive knowledge and expertise of our travel consultants we can drive down your company spend and make recommendations for best practice – improving the way you book travel.

Here are some of the key benefits that we provide:

  • Management Information is provided and discussed on a quarterly or monthly basis to ensure travel policy adherence and to also identify areas of savings by improving booking processes etc.
    • For example; We are able negotiate deals with any high spend suppliers or for high volume transactions – e.g. frequently used airlines / flight destinations, preferred hotel properties/ room night volumes,regular rail journeys etc.
    • We can also identify saving opportunities - such as by booking further in advance of travel this can significantly reduce the costs of your travel spend – even on a lower value rail ticket. We can identify such opportunities from the data we provide.

  • We are able to track all flight bookings against ‘company’ airline membership schemes which ultimately provide the company with enhanced financial benefits.
  • Our GDS reservation systems allows us to provide quotations for scheduled airlines and low cost carriers for your requested flight itinerary to find the most cost effective option – which is not always the low cost carrier!

  • Our systems capture all mandatory purchasing requirements which ensures that bookings are only accepted when the agreed approval process criteria has been met.
  • All bookings made are billed back to your company account.Hotel reservations is often an area where payment is an issue ; we pay for your hotel booking using company credit card facilities or via third party suppliers and then bill the company account – eliminating the need for the guest to pay on arrival or departure and submitting expense claims etc.

  • We offer a 24/7 emergency service which covers all bookings made through TTCE whether online or offline. We can make emergency changes or alternative travel arrangements quickly and easily outside of normal office hours for all your bookings through one dedicated number which is provided on all quotations and confirmations.

  • Where bookings are made via TTCE we can also provide a traveller tracking facility which enables us to report back to your organisation any travellers that maybe located in area affected by a major incident. This facility is also used for incidents such as strikes that may affect travel plans; we will contact the booker or traveller and advise of alternative options if required.

  • There is a misconception that our service fee makes the booking of low cost carriers cheaper to book directly on the airlines website. Ensuring our fees are competitive, the added of value of 24/7 emergency assistance, traveller tracking, no requirement for an expenses claim and management information we feel provides value for money as well as confidence and peace of mind should changes be required.

Why Is Travel Insurance important?
Travel insurance or 'holiday insurance' and now 'Staycation Insurance' is a precaution and gives you peace of mind. When going on holiday you invest money in your trip in so many ways: from transport, parking, accommodation and luggage. Not to mention your health too.
Whether it is for a single trip or annual travel insurance policy, or you are setting sail and need cruise insurance. When you talk to our team we have a full selection of comparable cover level options for you to choose from.
Alongside our trusted, reliable and comprehensive cover, we can also provide specialist medical cover though our specialist team. If you have a serious medical condition (or multiple conditions), our compassionate and understanding team will work with you to find you a policy that meets your requirements.
With over 99% of common conditions covered, we are proud to say that our specialist medical cover meets the requirements for inclusion on the Money Advice Service (MAS) travel insurance directory.

Travel Insurance and the FCDO
Our travel insurance coverage continues to be based on the latest FCDO advice, and is not impacted by the new traffic light system. Please always refer to the latest FCDO advice to ensure there are no advisories against travel which may affect your travel insurance policy.
