The benefits of hybrid booking your business trip
The hybrid booking of business travel, what does that really mean and what are the advantages? In this blog, Femke de Hond (Business Travel Consultant) and Ilona Mertens (Account Manager) would like to tell you more about it.
Uniglobe's Hybrid Travel Concept allows you to book travel both online and offline. Offline, reservations are made through a dedicated team of "dedicated" Business Travel Consultants by email or phone picked up and requested. Online trips can be booked through our new online booking tool UBI.
For years, many of our customers have successfully used this way to book their business trips. A return ticket to Seville? Book that return trip easily and quickly through our online booking tool UBI. Planning a tour of Australia? Then consult the Business Travel Consultants for tailored travel advice. Our relations are free to choose when to use the online tool UBI or book the trip through the team of travel experts (Hybrid Travel Concept).
Online - Safe, fast and economical booking
No cumbersome website where you quickly lose the overview, but rather a user-friendly, personalized and also a well-secured online environment. A tool that allows you to request information, plan and/or book 24/7. With always an up-to-date offer of all airline tickets, car rentals, trains and hotels. So no more searching on multiple websites, resulting in huge time savings!
After implementing your personal data, preferences and a brief explanation from our sales manager/account manager, you can get started right away. Whether you do this from your office, home or on the road, this is no problem and extremely secure and fast. You can sort your search results in UBI by schedule, airline and even by ticket price. So even our purchased fares are directly visible to you, guaranteeing you the best fare. This way you can easily compare options in UBI and see at a glance which option suits you best. Moreover, UBI offers clear reports with all information of all trips whether booked and made online or offline.
Offline - Personal contact and service from a specialist
A high level of service and sublime quality of service is what Uniglobe Alliance Travel stands for. No call center, but personal attention from our travel experts. Day in, day out they are there for you, nothing is too much for them. Whether it's booking flights, hotels or car reservations or (last minute/ad hoc) changes or cancellations of bookings, our Business Travel Consultants will be happy to help you.
By email and/or phone, you easily contact your regular ''dedicated'' team of Business Travel Consultants for all travel requests. Each team is familiar with your company's travel policies and knows the personal preferences of travelers. This way, each trip is tailor-made.
