Reason #2 to Use Greenwood Travel
We shop all the alternatives to find you the lowest prices.
Whether you are looking for a round trip domestic or international flight, Greenwood Travel will offer all the alternatives to find the best value and the lowest available fares. We also have excellent hotel programs that allow us to find excellent corporate rates and lower than corporate rates at thousands of locations around the world.
- Most fares are included in our reservation system, so we control the record making it possible for us to facilitate exchanges and refunds. It also means we can void the ticket within 24 hours. If the ticket is purchased on the web or from the airline direct, tickets cannot be voided.
- Through our customer service, we keep you updated on seat assignments, schedules so that you will be a better informed traveler.
Reason #3 to Use Greenwood Travel
Greenwood Travel consultants regularly talk with companies who are booking all their travel on the web, assuming they are getting lower fares and saving by not paying service fees. We've also identified a few areas that most businesses are not aware of that could be costing them thousands of dollars each year:
- There are 10 variables that need to be considered when booking business travel to ensure you get the best price. They were identified by a corporate traveler and published in a trade magazine.
- Once you've purchased your ticket online, it's a done deal unless you utilize your travel agency’s booking engine. If it's a non-refundable ticket and you need to make a change, chances are you will probably lose the value of that ticket. If it's purchased through us, the ticket can be voided or exchanged. We manage every agency booking, making you aware of rules and restrictions associated with each ticket and making sure that your corporate travel procedures, policies and negotiated vendor programs are incorporated into both your online and customer to agent booking. And statistics show that travel agents save you money over booking on the Internet 96% of the time and in less time.

There has never been a better time to evaluate your
Current Business Travel Management Program!
And Reason #5!
Our last 4 reasons provided great information to compare your present business travel program with Greenwood Travel Management program. For this last reason we will focus 100% on actual results:
Below are client testimonials that highlight the services we provide:
- We go the extra mile for you when emergencies like bad weather or the recent East coast blackout occur. We know where you are and if you are having flight problems and will contact you.
- In the last months, our negotiated fares saved our clients valuable travel dollars. Depending on your travel patterns, we can save you money using special fares not available to many other agencies or web sites.
- Several new clients have told us they had no idea they had been losing thousands of dollars each year due to not tracking unused tickets. This is probably the single largest contributor to increased travel costs. We track unused e-tickets and let you know who didn't fly. We then refund the ticket or apply the value toward a future booking.
- During a recent report for one of our corporate clients, we provided a report showing that we had VOIDED many airline tickets during the past six months. The airlines direct and generic travel websites do not Void tickets. Without the ability to Void, you are left having to exchange each ticket and incurring airline exchange fees.
- Over the years, many clients have told us that they had no idea how much difference a well developed Travel Policy could make. It saves the company money, makes it easier to negotiate special rates and most importantly, lets all your travelers know the rules for travel within your company.
The above examples are real hard-dollar savings and/or cost reductions as a result of booking with Greenwood. However, they only scratch the surface. We also have special pricing with the major hotels and hotel chains. Add these benefits to our consulting which can help you develop an effective Travel Management Policy, as well as our ability to enforce that policy to whatever degree you desire.
Greenwood Travel as your business travel management company means you'll not only receive the best price options, but you'll receive services that are integral to your travel management!
