Where to find the best Travelodge prices

Posted on January 8th, 2013. Written by bookingbusinesstravel.

We’ve researched this question for a UK company that books several hundred room nights for their staff.

To date, they’ve used a travel agent but inefficiencies of booking procedures coupled with high agency fees have required that we review their purchasing habits.

Travelodge do not currently feature in our recommended hotel comparison and search engine.

They are bookable through travel agents reservation systems (GDSs) – and at the same price as priced online. But Travelodge do not pay travel agency commission, so you will probably pay a booking fee to the travel agent for the reservation and payment service.

Booking direct with Travelodge on their website will provide several advantages:

• ·         Quick and easy to use
• ·         No travel agent booking fee
• ·         Option to pre-book breakfast with an online discount
• ·         Option to request an early check-in of 1200 noon rather than 3pm if required, or
  a late check-out of 2pm instead of 1200 at a cost of £10 extra
• ·         WiFi voucher purchase

Booking for someone else:

After choosing a property (“book”) immediately under the Room Price you’ll need to tick the “I am booking on behalf of someone else and will not be staying”

If you book Travelodge frequently, you should open a business account and save 5% on all your bookings with centralised business account management and up to 6 weeks credit
