Hold That Seat, Car & Room for Me; I Want to Think About It

New Book and Hold for Business Travelers Introduced for TripSync by Portaga

TripSync™ (www.tripsync.com) announces the launch of a new feature that enables travelers to hold a reservation for 24 hours, without penalty for cancellation or payment required. This 24 hour window is the time for travel plans to be solidified and expenses to be approved. There is no commitment with Book and Hold, just the guarantee of the flights and car reservations for up to 24 hours. The reservation is held in the traveler's name, with price determined at the time of actual booking. Hotels can be booked and cancelled with no penalty up until the day of arrival (may vary by hotel).

"Book and Hold removes the 'do-it-or-lose-it' pressure of booking travel and unlike Expedia, Travelocity and Orbitz, TripSync makes sure your options are secured for car and air bookings. TripSync goes the extra mile for business travelers," said Robert Kost, CEO of Portaga.

TripSync allows business travelers to control travel and expenses with one free program. Air, hotel and car reservations are made with speed and efficiency and changed with ease as necessary. Booking directly through Microsoft Outlook simplifies and organizes travel planning right into the Outlook daily calendar. Gone are the days of searching through multiple Web pages and starting over at page one to edit an itinerary. With TripSync, the time, resources and personnel needed to book, change and manage travel are greatly reduced. So go ahead and think about it or get it approved before you book. Your trip will be waiting for you.
