Tailored solutions powered by experienced business travel consultants
Business Travel Services
With more than 45 years of business travel experience, Wayte Travel provides the full range of travel services a business needs to keep people moving.
Our core travel management services cover flights, hotels, rail, car hire, reporting and traveller risk management, complemented by a suite of tech tools that help you manage your travel policy and budget more effectively.
Whether you want full account management or a mix of individual services, we will put together the right solution for your business.
That flexibility comes from a scale most agencies our size can’t match. Through our membership of leading trade organisations, we have serious buying power, putting us on equal footing with the biggest global enterprise travel management companies.
And we can do that without losing the personal service of a boutique agency.
You’ll deal with the same Wayte consultant throughout, someone who fully understands your supplier preferences and travel policies. You won’t have to rely on someone working from a script in a call centre.
What our clients say
“We are very proud to have such a devoted partner, whose service gets our people to the right place, at the right time and with minimal fuss.”
“I’d like to praise your out of hours service, which I have used a number of times, and your excellent team member Nikkie, in particular…”
“The super efficient Brenda was always personable and timely in her communication, including early Saturday morning when we were on the way to the airport. Could not be faulted.”
Services we cover
Air travel
We conduct a 360-degree search across every class of travel: Economy, Premium, Business and First, so you see options you probably hadn’t considered. Our consultants are skilled at finding creative solutions when the obvious fare isn’t the right one.
Your Wayte consultant knows your business and your travel policy, so we can ensure your travel budget goes further. Wayte Travel lets you access visa requirements directly and place orders.
We can hold a fare while your approval goes through, for as long as the airline allows. Any changes outside office hours go through our UK-based out-of-hours service directly, so you won’t have to deal with airline helpline queues.
Rail travel
The same principle applies to rail: one call or one email gets you the booking you need, the ticket type you want and any mid-journey changes handled, without you having to compare fares and routes yourself.
For business travellers moving between UK cities, rail can be the more practical option, especially when time is not pressing.
Hotel booking and accommodation
We negotiate hotel and car rental prices directly with suppliers, so your travellers get the most competitive rates without shopping around. For anyone travelling to an unfamiliar city, the Wayte Travel Companion App helps them find their way from the airport or station straight to the hotel door.
Online booking with Wayte Travel Online
If your travellers or bookers would rather book for themselves, Wayte Travel Online puts everything on one website, branded for your company. It covers flights from major airlines and low-cost carriers, hotels at your negotiated rates and ours, UK and European rail, car hire and airport parking.
Its features include:
- All your travel booked in one place
- Your travel policy applied to every booking
- Out-of-policy trips emailed to the right person for approval
- Book online, by phone or both
- Every trip visible for spend and duty of care
- Hotel budgets set by city or region
- Your accounting codes captured for easy reconciliation
- Works on desktop, phone and tablet
- Branded according to your guidelines
- Powerful, flexible and simple to use
You may be one of those clients who likes to arrange flights yourself, from low-cost carriers or point-to-point bookings, with policy rules applied.
Your Wayte Travel consultant is still here for the more complex arrangements whenever you pick up the phone.
The Wayte Travel Companion App
When you arrange your journey through Wayte Business Travel Management, it doesn’t matter where you are in the world, you are never truly alone: you have the Wayte Travel Companion App with you.
Every trip booked with us, whether by phone, email or online, appears automatically in the app. Flights, trains and hotels sit together in one itinerary, so you don’t need a separate app for every airline and hotel.
You have instant access to:
- Live updates on gates, delays and cancellations
- Boarding passes saved to your phone’s wallet
- Directions to the hotel or airport
- UK government travel advice for every destination
- Weather and a currency converter
- Your company documents, such as insurance details, seen only by your people
- A direct line to our out-of-hours team
- EAs and PAs see every trip they’ve booked
This gives every traveller real peace of mind, knowing that everything you need is right with you, in your mobile device.
How our travel services work together
However you mix these services together, the experience stays the same: you have a direct line to one constant Wayte Travel consultant you can ring about flights, hotels, rail and everything else, rather than being passed between departments or left on hold by a call centre.
It’s joined up behind the scenes too. Whether a trip is booked by one of our consultants or online, it flows straight into your reports, your travellers’ Wayte Travel Companion App and our Duty of Care Portal. Nothing gets missed, regardless of how it was booked.
Billing is straightforward too. You get invoiced on a frequency that suits you with one monthly statement, rather than bi-weekly charges or a subscription retainer eating into your budget before you’ve booked a single trip. So reconciling spending against budget is straightforward. That’s one less thing for Finance to worry about.
Our business travel services by sector
The same core services flex to suit how different industries actually travel. Check out our travel services by sector page and see how we build our service offerings around those differences, not a single template applied to everyone.

No jargon, no pressure and no obligation to sign anything before you’re ready.
