In today’s globalized economy, business travel is a necessity. Your executives and team members may need to travel to meetings in New York one week, London the next, and Tokyo the week after. While booking flights is straightforward, arranging for reliable, safe, and professional ground transportation in each of these cities can be a major logistical challenge. This is where a global transportation network becomes an invaluable asset for any company with traveling employees. By partnering with a single, trusted car service provider that has a worldwide network, you can streamline your booking process, ensure a consistent standard of service everywhere, and fulfill your corporate duty of care for your employees.
The Challenge of Global Ground Transportation
Arranging ground transportation on a city-by-city basis can lead to a host of problems.
- Inconsistent Quality and Safety: When you book a local car service in an unfamiliar city, you have no way of knowing the quality of their vehicles, the professionalism of their chauffeurs, or their safety and insurance standards.
- Complex Booking and Payment: It requires your travel manager or executive assistant to spend valuable time researching and vetting companies in multiple different cities. It also leads to a logistical nightmare of dealing with multiple vendors, different payment methods, and foreign currencies.
- Lack of Centralized Control: There is no single point of contact if a problem arises. If a traveler’s flight is delayed or their plans change, it can be very difficult to get in touch with the local provider, especially across different time zones.
The Solution: A Single-Source Global Network
A professional worldwide car service provider solves all of these problems. These companies have spent years, if not decades, building a robust network of trusted and meticulously vetted affiliate partners in every major city around the world. These partners are not random companies; they are professional car services that have been chosen because they meet the parent company’s strict standards for:
- Vehicle Quality and Maintenance
- Chauffeur Professionalism and Vetting
- Proper Licensing and Insurance
- On-Time Performance and Reliability
How a Global Network Works for You
The process is remarkably simple and efficient for the client.
- A Single Point of Contact: You make all of your ground transportation bookings, for any city in the world, through your single, trusted local provider. You can make a booking for a pickup at LAX and a pickup at Heathrow Airport in London with the same phone call or email.
- Seamless Coordination: Your primary provider’s dispatch team then handles all the coordination with their vetted affiliate partner in the destination city. They manage the reservation, monitor the flight, and ensure the chauffeur is in place.
- Simplified Billing: You receive a single, consolidated invoice for all your global travel, billed in your home currency. This dramatically simplifies your expense reporting and accounting process.
- 24/7 Support: You have a single, 24/7 support number you can call for any changes or issues, no matter where your traveler is in the world.
As business travel management resources often advise, consolidating your travel vendors is a key strategy for improving efficiency, controlling costs, and ensuring traveler safety (duty of care).
