Lodge Account

Lodge Accounts can save time and reduce costs by providing both the information and control you need to effectively manage your travel budget. Instead of issuing cards, an account number is held with your travel agent. This can then be used by any business traveller in your organisation to charge travel costs to one central account.

Lodge Accounts provide organisations with a simple way to enforce their corporate travel policy, as booking takes place centrally. They also facilitate the ability to record additional, client specific, information against each transaction, saving time on reconciling accounts. Also, the organisation will receive one monthly statement for all travel expenditure eliminating the need to make multiple payments.

With the choice of two different lodge products, onecard Lodge and Visa Lodge, you have the flexibility to really select the programme most suited to your organisation's needs.
