A healthy, happy exec will translate to their output.

Just because you\u2019ve heard of a company or recognize their logo, it doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019re necessarily providing a good service. Their marketing team could just be working overtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Range of travel: <\/strong>with emphasis on <em>range. <\/em>A stellar travel program needs to encompass all types of travel: car rentals, rail, and air; all types of stays: serviced apartments, hotels, etc, and so much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Range of services &amp; features:<\/strong> you may have noticed that working with a travel agency often limits you to just flights and hotels. Look for a TMC that can go the extra mile to provide your exec team with innovative travel solutions like flexible bookings, sustainable options, duty of care opportunities, and more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Global coverage: <\/strong>From Mexico to Melbourne, travel needs take execs everywhere. Don\u2019t limit your travel planning to a country\u2014or even a continent. Find a solution that can take you worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Personalized support:<\/strong> goes far beyond access to a phone number. No matter how low the pricing may be, don\u2019t sacrifice quality for cost. Find a TMC with travel consultants that can provide fast personalized support, and deliver tailored concierge services to keep your execs equal parts happy and productive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use the above list as your checklist while you muse through the five companies listed. Remember, what may be a fit for one business doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s a fit for yours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-the-5-top-companies-providing-solutions-for-executive-travel\" class=\"tk-toc-heading wrap\" data-short-heading=\"The 5 top companies\">\n\n    \n        The 5 top companies providing solutions for executive travel\n    \n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re grading these TMCs going on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Company reputation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Key strengths &amp; weaknesses<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Customer reviews<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Travel itinerary<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Customer support<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Shall we?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-1-travelperk-the-perfect-all-rounder-for-businesses-little-and-large\" class=\"tk-toc-heading wrap\" data-short-heading=\"1.

CTM: a good option for sustainable travel\n    \n<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting in 1994, Corporate Travel Management (CTM) has come a long way from the two-person startup it once was. From Australia to the Caribbean, the company now offers a global travel service combining quality tech with professional service. Their VIP service includes companion bookings, airport services, ancillary services, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Let\u2019s take a look at some of their top features:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Airfare forecasting: find the most cost-effective time to travel in the following 21 days<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Real-time travel risk management: identify risks and communicate them with your traveling team<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Global team of travel agents: across CTM and partner travel agencies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>CTM just misses out to TravelPerk on the top spot as they don\u2019t own the entirety of their business travel operations. CTM uses a network of independent partner agencies to help deliver on their global coverage, meaning they may not have total control when it comes to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.trustpilot.com\/reviews\/631f14326a3e1ed2c3d07a44\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> customer support<\/a>, flight cancellations, and last-minute itinerary changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n    <div id=\"summary-box-block_ee25542e69c2313440531132745855f0\" class=\"summary-box\">\n\n        <div class=\"wrapper\">\n\n            <div class=\"content\">\n\n                <h3 class=\"heading\">Click below to compare both platforms\u2019 features and benefits<\/h3>\n                <div class=\"description\">\n                    <p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelperk.com\/travelperk-vs-ctm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Why choose TravelPerk over CTM?<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n                <\/div>\n\n            <\/div>\n\n        <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-3-executive-travel-good-for-travel-consulting-services\" class=\"tk-toc-heading wrap\" data-short-heading=\"3. Executive Travel\">\n\n    \n        3. Executive Travel: good for travel consulting services\n    \n<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Founded in 1986, it\u2019s safe to say that Executive Travel knows a thing or two about the industry. It\u2019s also been listed as one of the nation\u2019s fastest-growing private companies. Executive travel focuses on savings, security, budget-friendly VIP services, and a great array of hotels for the picking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Some of ET\u2019s top features include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>ETSavings: a 15-point savings plan designed to save your business up to 25% on travel<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ETSecure: to track your travelers and communicate with them easier on the go<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ETSourcing: people-powered sourcing beats Expedia by an average of $36.41 per night on hotels<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite ExecutiveTravel.com having so many years of experience in the industry, it appears that their way of doing things is outdated, and not fit for scale. The agency is heavily people-powered and its lack of an easy-to-use booking app, sees customers opting for TMCs like TravelPerk, where booking doesn\u2019t always need to rely on someone on the other end of an email or phone call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-4-fcm-travel-provide-solid-travel-risk-management-features\" class=\"tk-toc-heading wrap\" data-short-heading=\"4. FCM Travel\">\n\n    \n        4. FCM Travel: provide solid travel risk management features\n    \n<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>FCM Travel makes the list as one of the best travel management companies for executives. FCM Travel has set up a VIP feature that combines high-touch tech to give equal parts autonomy and support to your traveling execs. The company offers multinational support across 95 countries which runs 24\/7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Let\u2019s take a look at the most exciting FCM Travel features:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>AI-powered alerts: based on your preferred carriers via the FCM app<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Travel risk management: dashboards and tools to make smart decisions at times of high-risk<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Expense management: a partnership with AirPlus to provide an end-to-end expense management solution<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For all of the pluses that come with FCM Travel, there are a few areas where it falls short and TravelPerk makes the most sense. For example, your FCM Travel pricing will fluctuate depending on the number of transactions you make with the platform. TravelPerk, however, provides fixed, honest pricing so you know exactly what you\u2019re paying for and your finance team can better predict your monthly expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, FCM Travel will see you paying for customer support, whereas TravelPerk provides 24\/7 support in a target 15-second response time for free, for every account.

Starting in 2002, Egencia has gone through a series of acquisitions throughout the years, most recently acquired by Amex GBT in 2021. Today, the Egencia team offers an exec service that connects your traveling execs with a team of \u201celite\u201d travel agents to help them get from A to B smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Let\u2019s explore some of their top features for execs:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Airport services: baggage handling, meet-and-greets, and fast-track passes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Conference &amp; meeting room bookings: for groups of any size<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>VIP travel: helicopter or private jet charters<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Elite car services: including limousine hires, and companion bookings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Egencia are providing a solid travel experience for execs, many still turn to TravelPerk for a few of TravelPerk\u2019s out-of-the-box offerings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, TravelPerk wins new users by offering an easy-to-use app and booking platform over<a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelperk.com\/travelperk-vs-egencia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Egencia\u2019s which comes under fire by users<\/a>.
