According to reports from the Global Business Travel Association (GBTA), “despite concerns about inflation and rising prices, only one in five travel managers says their companies have begun to limit business travel.” With demand still high, travel managers face an increasing challenge to balance cost savings without sacrificing the employee experience. Our goal is to meet our customers at the intersection of cost savings and raising standards.
See how our latest updates can help you manage travel budgets while providing an elevated experience tailored to the business traveller. Here’s what’s new:
Exclusive rides for business travel
We’ve rolled out Business Comfort in select cities. This ride option, exclusive to Uber for Business travellers, is only available when an employee toggles to their Uber for Business profile in the Uber app. Business Comfort was designed to elevate the employee travel experience and improve productivity at every step by offering upfront, competitive pricing, top-rated drivers, premium business support, and simplified expensing thanks to integrations with providers like SAP Concur and Coupa.
Expanded availability of Uber Reserve
Tap a button, plan your ride. When your employees book flights and hotels for upcoming trips, they can reserve Uber rides at the same time and know that all parts of their journey are set. Plus, for Uber for Business customers, you can now request Business Comfort on Uber Reserve. Whether you’re heading to an important meeting or need a ride to the airport, Uber Reserve with Uber Comfort can provide the peace of mind and comfort you need for a stress-free journey.
