Bentley has a Business Travel Program designed to support the travel service needs of the Bentley business traveler, while embracing administrative efficiency. The program is defined in the following Travel Policy document. The review of this policy is critical prior to securing any business travel arrangements which will be paid for with Bentley funds.
The program utilizes the service of designated travel service providers. Engaging a Master Contract source allows for significantly greater administrative efficiency, commitment to major airline discount agreements, as well as the ability to readily assist a business traveler in crisis.
Our Egencia® Travel program is designed to support most business travel excursions involving flights, hotel accommodations and car rentals. For more complex, multiple destination international travel itineraries we have designated The Travel Collaborative. The following provides quick information for using these sources.
