Why You Should Use a TMC

​'Why should I use a TMC when I can just book everything myself?' is something that we have heard alot in the past. 
​

I love it when someone asks us this as there are so many answers depending on the company or situation of the person. A big one right now is that we are watching the developments on the Covid-19 travel restrictions globally so that we can inform all our clients of the situation in the destination they want to travel to and the situation with quarantine upon returning. Therefore if the traffic light system in the UK changes then we will let you know and help you get home or to the destination you need to go.
With regards to and other thing that people also say; "I can just book everything  online": You can still book everything online if you want to, using our booking system, or you can just ask us to do it for you and save a lot of time with all the searching especially when it is a busy destination! PLUS you have the backup of a 24 hour team of experienced professionals to help should you need it.
Why wouldn't you use a TMC?!

​ Just image this situation:
  • You are the person responsible for booking accommodation, travel and meetings for your team, along with your other job responsibilities.
  • You have made hundreds of bookings this week as well as doing the job you were actually employed to do, it is now Friday at 5:30pm and time to go home for the weekend - Hurray! 
  • You pickup your things get in the car and are driving home, you start thinking about what to have for your dinner or where you are going out to that evening.
  • You get home and are now all dressed up to go out, your taxi arrives and the news comes on.
  • You hear that there has been a problem at one of the airports that you regularly use and you know you have some of your team flying through there coming home from a week away. Also the traffic light system has changed due to Covid-19.
  • OH NO!! What do you do?
  • What flights were they all on?
  • Which team members are travelling at the moment and where are they all?
  • What do you need to do to sort it out?
  • Are they covered if they can not get home? 
  • Will they need to quarantine now upon returning to the UK? or can you get them back before the change in 'traffic light' status?
  • You will have to go back to the office and sort it all out!
  • That will ruin your weekend plans!
  • What a Nightmare! - not if you are using a TMC

SOLUTION: Just give us a call:
When using us as your TMC there is no need to panic we can help you. We have all the information in one place and can tell you exactly what flights and hotels are booked and for who and help sort all the flights, re-book alternative flights, book trains if flights are grounded, book hotels where required or anything that you need.


So the answer to the question is:
Why would you not use a TMC when you have the support of our team of experienced professionals to help you and we have all the up to date information about the travel restrictions with regards to Covid-19.

Get in touch and we can tell you how we can help you with your situation email us
