Business Travel Report

Key highlights of this report:

• Independent sourcing and safety risks:

  The data indicates that 50% of business travellers independently source their own taxis, often without the review or guidance of their organisation.

  This poses potential safety risks, as the quality and reliability of independent taxi providers can vary significantly. By implementing a fully managed taxi solution, businesses can exercise greater control over the selection of reputable and reliable taxi suppliers, thereby mitigating safety concerns and ensuring consistent standards of service

• Approximately 46% of business travellers use local private hire companies or taxi ranks

  While these options may be convenient, they still require careful monitoring. By implementing a fully managed solution, businesses can establish partnerships or preferred arrangements with taxi providers. This allows for better control over the quality of vehicles, driver training, and adherence to safety regulations, reducing the potential risks associated with unfamiliar or unverified taxi services.

• Frequent solo travel:

  The data reveals that 40% of respondents travel alone for business on every trip.

  This underscores the importance of closely monitoring their taxi journeys. By utilising technology and personnel to track and monitor trips, businesses can ensure that employees reach their destinations safely and on time. Monitoring systems can provide real-time updates on journey progress, enabling immediate intervention in case of any unexpected situations or emergencies.
