  5. “It is not possible to compare rates” • The myth:To be able to compare rates in Amadeus Car Availability you need to: • Use a calculator • Look for information in several different displays • And you are still not sure if you have covered it all • The truth:Multi company display with estimated total gives comparable rates for all providers in Complete Access Plus

  7. “What is included in the rate and what is the total rate?” • The myth:It is necessary to check several displays to find out what is included in the rate – and not included, and to find the total rate for the rental: • And you are still not sure if you have covered it all • The truth:Car Rate Features gives a complete overview of what is included in base rate, what is included in the estimated total, and the additional items available

  12. ”The negotiated rates are masked” • The myth:All negotiated rates are masked from the travel agency (in displays and booked segments) • The truth:The car companies now unmask the negotiated rates if the corporate customers agree to this: • Available in Complete Access Plus single company display by using the CD- or ID-number identifying the agreement

  13. 2 ways to book negotiated rates • Direct Sell • Use of host key • Prestored entry in Customer Profile • Requires VT and CD- or ID-number • Via Car Availability (Complete Access Plus) • Single company display by using CD- or ID-number • All vehicle types included in the agreement are shown in the display (makes cross selling possible) • Estimated total per vehicle type • Car Rate Feature display available (with estimated total breakdown and other rate details)

  15. ”It is not possible to compare negotiated rates with other rates” • The myth:It is necessary to call car company to compare negotiated rates with other rate types • The truth:Travel Choice/Pro Tempo makes it possible to access several rates to compare which is most favourable • The corporate profile updated with CD-number and a PPI-line advising agent to check Eurobonus Gold rates and the agency’s own negotiated rates • A separate profile updated with the agency’s CD-number • A separate profile updated with the Eurobonus Gold CD-number

  16. How to work the profiles • The work-flow: • Display the merged corporate/traveller profile • Car Availability with /TC gives the client’s CD-rates • A host key to change to Eurobonus Gold rates:>CA/TC/C-ABC123 <ctrl + x> • A host key to change to the agency’s CD-rates>CA/TC/C-123ABC <ctrl + y> • When booking use the display with the most favourable rate (>CA/TC returns to the client’s rates or reuse the appropriate host key):>CS3/TC • The corporate profile is still displayed, and the client’s CD-number is added to the segment

  17. ”The cheapest rates are only offered over the phone” • The myth:The cheapest rates are not available in Amadeus • The truth:When checking availability displays for providers in Complete Access Plus the rates are returned from the providers’ own systems, and they are the same rates that you will be offered when phoning
