BOOKING
You can book rail, car hire, flights and hotels all in one place - any seat, any airline, anytime. RAIL Using single sign-on your company can access their rail bookings. Our search function allows you to search by departure time or price, meaning you can find the best train tickets for your trip. Any rail cards or discounts can be added to save your company paying out more when they don’t have to. CAR HIRE We use multiple car hire providers including Avis, Hertz and Europcar. Rental cars can be booked in advance and paid for locally by the traveller.

POLICY
PAYMENT
Book
To help keep your traveller’s spending within your policy, we can set up a traffic light system that will guide bookings into the correct price range. We understand that in business sometimes last-minute bookings can’t be avoided and therefore there are times where average prices can’t be met, so we don’t prevent any bookings from going through. When an out-of-policy booking is made the travel approver is notified so they are aware of any spends that may be a bit more than planned.

We make it easy for you to choose to pay on account or via a loaded company credit card. If you have a department that needs to use a card specific to their area, this can be done at the time of payment, making it easier to separate out your travel spend.

TRAVELLER TRACKING
We understand how important Duty of Care is to any business, no matter the size. That’s why we provide you with an effective solution that lets you view your travellers’ whereabouts anywhere in the world.

Our traveller tracking pulls through individuals flight details, so you can not only see who is where now, but where they will be next. HelloFCBT will also show you in real time the location of each traveller, giving you the ability to view everyone at a quick glance. To keep it simple, we ensure that only those that need to, will see company-wide tracking. Your bookers and managers can monitor their teams, while travellers can keep an eye on themselves.
