    Chose Egencia
    Egencia has the most variety when booking your hotel/flight, as well as the best pricing. We use Airbnb for Work alongside Egencia so that we can book accommodation outside of hotels, but this does not cover the flights. Egencia has it all (flights and accommodation) in …

    It is great for those travelers looking for longer-term accommodations, such as greater than a week or a few weeks. For those staying for only a day or two, it can still be useful, but a hotel may be more appropriate for these kinds of stays. Moreover, many of our travelers like the ability to have a full apartment due to the nature of their stay or the length, and thus using this allows us this added flexibility in finding accommodations with this.

    Overall, Egencia is a good tool for my employees to use when I (or my work partner) aren't available to make the reservations. They can easily access their account and the charges will go on the corporate credit card. This makes it all around easy for the traveling employees.

    • Egencia is an all-in-one booking tool so you can keep everything in once place.
    • Egencia works with SAML, so it's easy for users to get set up and logged in.
    • Egencia helps keep things in order by preventing bookings without the approval of managers. This can help keep costs low as well.

    Cons
    Airbnb
    • video support for virtual team experiences could be improved
    • Perhaps a questionnaire or search feature to narrow down options for those unsure of what experience/trip they are thinking to go with

    • Customer service was awful. It was a running joke that when we had to call customer service for something (frequent), it was a crap-shoot whether we were going to get someone that knew what they were doing.
    • The website was not intuitive and sometimes made it difficult to find the flights we wanted. Most of the admins resorted to looking for flights on other services and then searching for that flight specifically in Egencia.

    Usability

    The user interface is very user friendly. It makes it easy to filter through the different options it has to offer based on price, location, and the scenery you as the customer would most prefer. This is an extremely helpful feature when there are so many choices to choose from

    When I had a problem with cancelled and rescheduled flight Egencia team was not helpful at all. They claimed that in their system the flight is still happening hence they will not advise on anything else. I had to spend a lot of time calling the airline to clarify the details and to find out when my flight is happening in the end.

    Airbnb for Work is very useful for any city. Our practicality of staying where we want is excellent, it really helps us a lot and I'm sure it has already "saved" several people who made last minute reservations, just like me hahaha. We have other platforms that can also help us, but we have a certain preference for Airbnb.

    It's not even close! Axios was much more difficult to navigate than Egencia. In my opinion, Egencia more closely mirrors travel booking systems we all use outside of work, which makes training much easier for new users. The ability to automatically download calendar invites, share itineraries, and download PDF receipts is such a big help

    Return on Investment
    Airbnb
    • It has helped our organization to save costs since one place can accommodate many co-workers rather than booking rooms for only two people where the team travels in a group.
    • Better deals are available if you are regular customer
    • Upgrade options are available which help save money rather than buying a premium suite

    • More efficient booking - save time.
    • We can specify when additional approval needs to take place based on perimeters that we set (price, class, etc) - save money!
    • All electronic - bookings all online so have easy access to all staff trips.
