Enterprise has launched a new online booking platform aimed at helping organisations manage how their employees travel for work when driving.

Enterprise Travel Direct (ETD) is a journey assessment and booking system that enables customers to compare the cost of daily rental, hourly car club and ‘grey’ fleet based on a planned trip and real-time vehicle availability.

The assessment allows businesses to compare the actual cost of a specific journey at a determined time depending on whether employees use a private car and file mileage expenses, a car club or a daily rental vehicle.

Employees can then choose the option that suits them – whether it’s the lowest rate or the most sustainable – based on their company’s travel policy, which is programmed into the platform to enable compliance and control.

Enterprise says a key benefit of ETD is that travellers are required to log journeys before the trip is taken, helping them and their company to assess whether a rental option would be more cost-effective than a private vehicle.

“Businesses have struggled to measure and contain the real cost of employee mobility because they lacked the data or it wasn’t available in a format that could be easily analysed. Because ETD records all the details of every journey, it provides employers with a wealth of data that can be used to refine business travel to more cost-effective options.”
