What do you like best about Amex GBT Egencia?

It pulls in all travel resources like Expedia. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amex GBT Egencia?

It is unreliable when you are trying to check out, you usually have to call customer support which defeats the purpose of booking on-line. The extra fees incurred for every change and customer support assistance are also inconvenient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Amex GBT Egencia:

Unless you are trying to control expenses, allow employees to continue to book travel elsewhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Amex GBT Egencia solving and how is that benefiting you?

It does help over spending within the company when booking travel. However, for those who are conscious of expenses anyways, it is not a useful tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amex GBT Egencia?

The ease and efficiency of of the website. It is fast and reliable. We are able to use so many different types of restrictions and approval preferences that this will absolutely save us time and money. Hundreds of different types of reports and reporting features. We are seeing huge savings with the airline prices and getting much better deals on cars and hotels. Very user friendly. As an administrator, it is very easy to set up, activate and edit policy features through their website. When asking a question to the support team, they are fast and knowledgeable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amex GBT Egencia?

We are having a few issues with approvals being sent to the wrong manager however, this is not a huge deal and we are still working out the kinks. We have only been with Egencia a couple of weeks so we still have some bugs to work out. The issues we have had however, were solved in a timely manner and to our satisfaction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Amex GBT Egencia:

Go for it. The annual price and booking fees are very comparable with any other business travel website and for the money, you cannot beat the quality of product or the standard of service. Egencia will go above and beyond to make sure the customer gets everything they are asking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Amex GBT Egencia solving and how is that benefiting you?

With the approval process Egencia has set up for us, we will save money on employee's booking expensive or unnecessary flights/hotels. They also have the best airline prices we have seen thus far. The fast and friendly website will keep our employees from using other websites that render us from being able to report, track or approve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've always found Egencia to be simple and easy to book company travel through. The web interface is intuitive and flexible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
