Travel: Booking Travel with World Travel Service and Concur

Tags Travel

Concur is an extension of World Travel Service, the University's travel agency, and is available to faculty and staff to make travel arrangements for business or personal use. Arranging travel via the Concur platform is another option in addition to booking with World Travel agents. Agents and Concur utilize the same database for searching travel content. Reservations made through Concur are immediately available to agents. Arrangements made through a travel agent are also available to the traveler in Concur. Support individuals that the traveler designates as a travel assist (can review) or arranger (can book), can also assist with arranging travel. Nominal agent fees are charged when booking with an agent ($18) or through the Concur Travel module ($7).

NOTE: When booking airfare with a UT Travel Card, the traveler must book with World Travel or through Concur.  Airfare reimbursement prior to a trip is only available when tickets are purchased through World Travel or Concur.

When booking airfare with a UT travel card, Concur or World Travel must be used.  If a traveler books through Concur or World Travel on their own credit card, they can be reimbursed in advance of the  trip.  However, if the traveler books outside Concur or World Travel, they will not be eligible for reimbursement until after the end of the trip.
