The Egencia TripNavigator app is being connected with Uber and Citymapper to offer personalised journeys directly to business travellers.

At every stage of the trip, the traveller sees an in-app summary of ground transportation options – whether by car, walking or public transportation – at every stage of the trip.

The options automatically use the address or location of the next step in the trip.

The traveller gets the time to destination and estimated costs and is seamlessly delivered the information they need.

Egencia global product and marketing vice president, Michael Gulmann, said: “Business travellers turn to Egencia for end-to-end booking solutions. By partnering with trusted mobile apps we provide personalised options for getting around, right within Egencia TripNavigator.

“We are committed to exploring technology solutions to help travellers with the challenges they face: busy schedules, complying with corporate policy and staying efficient without wasting time wandering around or waiting in lines.”

Max Crowley, of Uber for Business, said: “Traveling for work can be stressful and often business travellers can feel ‘lost in transit’ when they arrive in a new city.

“Now with the Uber and Egencia TripNavigator integration, they can easily navigate a new destination and have the peace of mind that a reliable ride is just a tap away.”
