In the Oil and Energy industry, business travel isn’t optional—it’s mission-critical. Whether it’s moving crews to offshore rigs, sending specialists to remote worksites, or coordinating emergency repairs, travel is a nonstop operation. But with rising costs, unpredictable fuel prices, and logistical challenges, how do you keep spending in check without cutting corners on safety or comfort?
The good news? It’s possible to slash unnecessary costs while keeping your teams safe, well-rested, and ready to perform. Here’s how the smartest oil and energy companies are making it happen.
1. Unlock exclusive rates that actually work for your industry
Most travel programs are built for corporate suits, not oilfield crews or energy specialists. Standard business rates don’t factor in the unique demands of your industry—like last-minute changes, extended stays, or remote-site access.
By working with a travel partner that understands the energy sector, you can access:
✔ Negotiated airline and hotel rates—leveraging supplier partnerships to secure discounts and added perks
✔ Flexible booking options—ensuring last-minute changes don’t cost a fortune
✔ Cost-efficient ground transport—coordinating rental cars, secure transfers, and multi-leg itineraries.
Many oil and energy companies have dramatically reduced their annual travel spend simply by switching to industry-specific rates and strategic supplier partnerships.
2. Smarter travel policies = controlled costs
A well-structured travel policy is one of the most effective ways to curb overspending. But if it’s outdated, unclear, or not enforced, it could be costing you tens of thousands in unnecessary expenses.
Here’s what an efficient energy-sector travel policy should include:
🔹 Preferred airlines and routes—consolidating spend for better rates
🔹 Clear booking windows—locking in fares before prices spike
🔹 Accommodation guidelines—crew-friendly hotels at the best possible rates
🔹 Ground transport rules—defining when rental cars, ride shares, or shuttles should be used
Having a smart, industry-specific travel policy ensures spending stays on track—without leaving your teams stranded in subpar conditions.
3. Gain total visibility with real-time expense tracking
Do you know where your travel dollars are going? If you’re relying on expense reports and spreadsheets, you’re probably overspending without realising it.
With a centralized travel management platform, you get real-time visibility over:
- Booking trends—see where travel spend is highest and adjust accordingly
- Expense breakdowns—track what’s driving up costs and eliminate wasteful spend
- Policy compliance—ensure teams stick to preferred rates and policies
Beyond Energy, an oil and energy company, partnered with Corporate Traveller to overhaul their travel program. By implementing smarter expense tracking and consolidating bookings, they streamlined their processes and achieved significant cost savings—all while maintaining a high standard of service for their travellers.
More efficient bookings = fewer costly last-minute changes
Better reporting tools = real-time visibility on spend
Centralized travel management = reduced admin burden
The takeaway? When you can see where the money’s going, you can control it—without cutting corners on safety or comfort.
