New industry-leading direct invoicing option streamlines booking and billing process for corporate travelers

Choice Hotels International, Inc. is making the process for business travelers booking rooms at  more than 5,000 domestic properties easier than ever through its new Choice Direct Pay program. With this new comprehensive offering, corporate customers can now make reservations for their employees and guests at multiple Choice hotels, with their company being billed directly through a single, centralized invoice.

In addition to simplifying the billing process system-wide, the Choice Direct Pay program notably enables business travelers to:

–   Make a single payment for all stays, at all hotels through weekly consolidated invoicing.
–   Download and manage their invoice data through their dedicated portal.
–   Add project costs and department codes to bills to further simplify their reconciliation process.
–   Contact centralized customer support to help with their enrollment process, check the status of payments and invoices, and resolve any issues with charges.
–   Maintain access to their existing negotiated and chainwide rates by entering their Choice issued CID.
–   Search for participating hotels and book through their preferred channel including choicehotels.com, the Choice Hotels mobile app, Choice Contact Centers, and the GDS.
–   Offer the flexibility for guests to adjust stay dates on property.

To participate in Choice Direct Pay, corporate customers will need to sign up at info.choicehotels.com/direct-pay, after which users will receive customized enrollment links through TreviPay, a leader in the payment solution industry facilitating this program.

Choice Direct Pay builds on several innovations and investments made by the company to bolster its technology solutions to meet owners and customers’ corporate travel needs, including Virtual Pay and the Group Management Platform. Virtual Pay allows travel managers to quickly and effortlessly book stays for their guests without needing a personal credit card, and Group Management Platform is an online reservation solution that makes planning and booking group travel easier.
