Picture this, you have a business trip coming up in a few weeks, and you're going to tie in some meetings while you're there. You’ve booked your flights and accommodation, and now, it's time to organize transportation once you land. Will you jump in a cab to the hotel? Ride the subway to your four back-to-back meetings, and jump back in a cab to attend your dinner plans? Or does it make more sense to plan for a car rental?

Whether making multiple stops or attending far-flung meetings, there are plenty of situations where business car rental is the best option.

Travel management & rental cars 

Luckily, car rental companies and rental locations are easy to find when traveling with national and international providers.

Making sure your business travel car rental program is part of your travel policy, is essential to maintaining a fully realized travel strategy. Not only does it remove the hassle of car sharing with local coworkers, but booking via a travel management company’s (TMC’s) mobile app or portal, can unlock the right car with the best car rental rates – all while streamlining expenses and reimbursements to a personal or corporate credit card.

A TMC may allow you to use your loyalty program, so every dollar you spend on your business rental, translates into status and points for car renters.

Check out the infographic below before your next business trip, to determine if a road trip is the right mode of transportation. And that a pick-up and drop-off of your corporate car rental is as easy as can be.
