KAYAK boosts support for small scale business travel

Stamford-based KAYAK announced on June 27 the release of its upgraded business platform specifically for small and medium-sized businesses. KAYAK noted that up to three working days per year can be spent planning business trips and dealing with internal administration.

Called KAYAK for Business, the new program charges a flat $20 fee per trip, while providing trip management, group bookings, and around-the-clock access to travel agents. Transit tickets, rentals, and hotel bookings can all be managed in one place, along with access to corporate rates and tools for tracking travel expenses.

“In the world of business travel, where time is of the essence, simplifying the booking process is key. Our corporate travel product is designed to address the specific challenges SMBs encounter, streamlining the planning process and saving time for both employees and travel coordinators,” said Eva Fouquet, SVP of KAYAK for Business. “We hope to make booking a business trip as easy as booking a leisure vacation.”
