SAP Concur: Three Tips to Save on Business Travel

SAP Concur published three tips to save on business travel. GBTA reported 514 million business trips were taken in 2016. The article recommends booking at least three weeks in advance, as tickets booked fewer than seven days before departure are on average 44% more expensive than the same ticket booked 15 days in advance; considering ridesharing instead of renting a car for short trips; and researching meal options ahead of time to control costs. It also suggests companies set booking guidelines and approval processes and use expense systems to simplify reporting.
