Fare Audit

What’s the best practice to ensure your client-companies achieve their budgeted airfare and hotel savings for 2025?

First, they should hare a Travel Management Company (TMC) who will guarantee their company that your TMC will boo the lowest fares and hotel rates.

Second, If your TMC offers to have your client-company engage an independent 3^rd party audit firm, then they can take your TMCs guarantee to the bank.

Fare Audit has been in business for 28 years, and has audited over 5 million records for airfare and hotel accuracy. We can also identify bookings that did not include a hotel stay (which is a risk-management issue) and notify the traveler that they need to be able to locate them in an emergency. Catching “unattached hotels” also benefits your TMC because it brings you GDS income and hotel commissions; if you book a HGT hotel rate, the client gets the corporate discount and your TMC gets the hotel commission.

For those corporate clients of yours that have their own negotiated hotel discounts, Fare Audit can validate rate loading in any of the 4 GDS systems globally. This saves your TMC time and money by having to validate those rates manually.
