Low fees

Our fees are competitive, straight-forward, and transparent. We charge just one fee per booking, no matter how many changes are made to that booking.

We work tirelessly to drive down your company’s procurement costs and deliver better value for money.

Big savings

Along with low operating fees, we save our clients money by lowering travel costs, and by freeing up their personnel from hours of administration.

Providing vast savings over ‘published pricing’, we procure and negotiate special fares and exclusive supplier deals from over 60 websites, all comparison websites, all major car rental companies and airlines, and over 120,000 independent and chain hotels.

We aim to deliver overall cost savings of 15-20%, and savings of up to 30% with our exclusive business and first class fares.

Our negotiating and purchasing power has been developed over 35 years. We are a top 10 agency group in the UK for buying power and partner members of Advantage, the UK’s largest consortium of independent travel management companies with a buying power of £3bn.

We pass on this immense buying power, and exclusive Advantage-negotiated deals, to our clients, across all aspects of travel, extending to even the most complex itineraries.

Then, we go even further. We proactively secure route deals, free upgrades, free limousine services, special offers, and travel card points for our clients. We continuously advise on opportunities for further savings and report on the exact savings your company makes every month.

Personal

No call-centres. Harridge assigns you two dedicated travel consultants with 15 years’ experience and gives you their direct numbers.

We take pride in building relationships with our clients. When you call, you will always speak to someone who knows your exact requirements and preferences. So you won’t need to remind us that you prefer the aisle seat, or that your meeting rooms need to be ten minutes from the hotel.

Working with a small, stable team, you get to know us, too. In an industry synonymous with high levels of staff turnover, our team members have been with us, on average, for 15 years.

Flexible

Need to create, cancel or alter a booking at the last minute? Missed your flight on a non-refundable ticket? We will be on hand, ready to help. We also provide 24 hour emergency assistance, 365 days a year.

Complex multi-sector itineraries are our speciality and we excel in finding cost-effective travel solutions for even the most atypical routes.
