Ultimate Travel Essentials for Your Business Trip

The Ultimate in Safety, Service and Satisfaction

Business travel and leisurely travel are so different, yet very similar at their most basic level. You can say they’re different sides of the same coin. Despite their differences, both forms of travel require efficiency tools. For now, however, we shall be focusing solely on those that are essential for business trips.

Leaving your workspace means an accumulation of work while you’re gone. Now, keeping things on track while you’re at the office can be hard enough, so when you’re traveling, this can be an even bigger hassle.

From our vast experience dealing with business travelers at our Vancouver car service, we have compiled a list of six essential items that will make business travel feel like a breeze. Granted, it’s still traveling and it’s not the same as being in the comfort of your office, but this list of essentials does make these dreadful trips a lot more convenient.

Portable Charger

To make sure that you’re always connected with the office, ensure that your phone/ tablet/computer always have enough juice by bringing an external battery charger.

Preferably, purchase the larger models of external chargers. They may be expensive, but they charge faster than their smaller counterparts, and some are even capable of charging multiple devices at a time.

An external charger guarantees that you are always available in case the office needs you while you’re away, meaning that there’ll be no pile-up of work just because you’re traveling. It also gives you enough charge on your devices to handle work-related tasks while you’re on the move.

Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot

Even with the availability issue solved, there is still the issue of connectivity. How are you going to get ahead with your work while you’re on the move if you can’t access important information and documents from the office?

Sure, you can find free Wi-Fi almost anywhere these days, but it’s a gamble and even if you do find it, it’s not a guarantee that it will be a descent speed. You need reliable internet connectivity that is at your fingertips, connectivity that isn’t a gamble, and that will be there every time you need it; you need a portable Wi-Fi hotspot device.

These are palm sized devices that work with any data SIM, allowing you to connect to them and access the internet from any location. This way, you will have full access to your work material when you’re on the move. You don’t have to wait until you’re back at the office anymore.

 

Noise Cancelling Headphones

Traveling can get noisy sometimes. There is the baby crying in the seat behind you; there is the gentle but distracting hum of conversation from the guys beside you. There are just so many noise factors that won’t let you concentrate. This is where a pair of high-quality noise canceling headphones come in handy.

Shut out all the background noise by playing a soothing playlist as you go on about your work. They will also come in handy when you want to listen to that audio book you want, or when you receive an important phone call.

Business Cards

Leaving a strategically placed business card where it’s visible on your luggage increases the chances of having it returned in case you misplace it. Business cards also come in handy when you’re traveling abroad, and there’s a language barrier. It makes it easier to introduce yourself as opposed to gesturing or trying to mouth your name to the person you’re interacting with. It’s not a very professional look, so always have some cards with you wherever you go.

A Car Service

Our Vancouver limo service offers numerous benefits to a business person that they will not find in conventional ground transportation options. For one, we enable you to stay within your schedule with our proven culture of punctuality. We also offer you the privacy you need to either go on with your work uninterrupted or relax and catch up on sleep as we transport you to your destination.

Traveling can sometimes take a toll on you. It can make you physically tired and your mental state can also suffer. Read the blog post published by our Chicago limo service friends at Executive to learn how to improve your mental state when traveling for business.
