Direct Price Assurance Hotel optimizes your bookings to ensure the best rate and available amenities with minimal disruption to travel.

Once you've enrolled your travel program and your implementation is complete, Direct Price Assurance will check rates daily and automatically rebook your travelers when rates drop to maximize savings.

On average, 1 in 5 bookings will be rebooked at a lower rate, providing increased ROI for your company. 

Billing Model

Your company keeps 65% of the added savings generated, and Direct Travel will charge 35% of the incremental net savings as a gainshare savings fee.

With Direct Travel's new and preferred gainshare point-of-sale billing option, it's even easier to enroll in Direct Price Assurance Hotel and avoid internal reconciliation processes. When a savings is secured, your traveler’s credit card will be charged at the point-of-sale, and then the gainshare savings fee will be charged when the hotel is rebooked. The traveler receives a new itinerary/invoice with the new hotel rate, new hotel confirmation number, and the savings fee charged to the traveler’s card. It’s that simple!

"Like for Like"

Direct Travel Price Assurance Hotel does not change the way your traveler books today, and only rebooks at the same hotel, for the same travel dates, in the same or better room type, and with the same or better amenities that your traveler booked in their original reservation. 

Other Benefits

Direct Price Assurance Hotel may also rebook hotels to offer added or improved amenities, less restrictive cancelation policies, or other financial benefits. This may occur even in situations where the rate doesn't change, meaning the added benefits do not result in additional costs or a higher rate for your traveler. 

Get Started

There are no changes to how your travelers book their lodging, whether they use a Direct Travel agent or an Online Booking Tool. If rebooked, your travelers will receive a revised itinerary/invoice. (sample itinerary)

For our gainshare point-of-sale clients, the travel manager will receive a monthly transactions/savings report, and since the gainshare savings fee has already been charged to your traveler at point-of-sale, you can skip the internal reconciliation and departmental or traveler bill-backs. (sample gainshare POS report)

Enrollment is made easy by an electronic sign-up that will automatically amend your corporate travel agreement to add this service. After signing up, your account manager will reach out with a copy of the electronic amendment for your records, and your account will be put into a queue for implementation.
