Hotels
- Several rates checked on every booking
- Watched for price drops until check-in, rebooked when one hits
- Breakfast, credits and upgrades on eligible stays
- You pay the property directly – no booking fee
- Points and status post as if booked direct
Nobody owns travel at your company. Now somebody does.

The situation
The situation:
You book retail, so you get retail. Nobody loads the stay, nobody watches the rate after you pay.
Booked through the desk, the same room costs the same or less – and it arrives with breakfast and a credit.
Remuda fixes that. $150 to $250 back per trip, on the trips you were taking anyway.
Here's how it works:
Lives where your team already works.
Slack, Teams or plain email – nothing to install. Answered within four business hours, booked the same day, reported monthly.

How the desk gets paid.
Hotels compensate the desk on partner bookings – standard across the industry, and why the perks cost you nothing.
See pricingWe book the cheaper rate, even when it pays us nothing.
When a public rate is genuinely the better deal, we book it and say so. A desk you cannot trust on rates is not worth having.
If the math does not work for you, we say so.
If your travel is too light to cover the retainer, we tell you on the first call rather than sign you.
One person, who knows your team.
Who will not fly connections, who needs a quiet floor. That only works at a size where we know every traveler by name.
Flat monthly. Nothing buried.
Priced by named travelers. Trips are unlimited – no per-trip charge, no percentage of spend.

About
The person behind the desk.
Remuda exists because companies with two to twenty travelers are too small for a corporate travel agency and too busy to keep booking retail.
Jack was an early employee at Fora, the modern travel agency, where he helped build the systems this desk now runs on. As an advisor he has booked over $1 million in travel for private clients – founders, operators and their families – before opening the desk to companies.
The corporate desk came out of a simple observation: his leisure clients ran companies, and those companies were booking travel worse than their owners did. Same hotels, worse rates, no perks, no report.
The desk is based in New York and run on the Fora platform, with 8,200+ hotel and travel partners behind it and a 24/7 air desk on every ticket.

Questions about fees, cards, or what happens at 11pm? The FAQ has straight answers.
FAQ
Straight answers.
The questions every buyer asks, answered the way we answer them on a call.
Is the rate really the same or better?
Every booking is checked across several rates alongside the public price, and we book whichever wins – then monitor it for drops until check-in. When a public rate is genuinely the better deal, we book it and say so.
Can you negotiate us corporate rates with Marriott or Hilton?
That is not the play at your size – negotiated rate programs are built for volumes far past a team of 2 to 20. The desk books partner rates that already exist across 8,200+ hotels: same or better nightly rate, and the stay arrives loaded. The outcome a rate program promises, without the volume commitment.
Do travelers keep their points?
Yes, all of them. Every reservation carries the traveler's loyalty number, so points and status nights post exactly as if they booked direct.
Does this break Expensify or our expense flow?
No. Your corporate cards stay on file and charges post from the airline and the hotel exactly as they do today, so whatever ingests your receipts now keeps working unchanged.
What does it cost?
A flat monthly retainer, priced by named travelers – $150 to $850 a month at founding rates – with no per-trip charge and no percentage of spend. The pricing page has the whole bill, with a calculator.
How does my team actually use it?
They ask in Slack, Teams or plain email – wherever they already work. Nothing to install, no portal, no logins. Every request is answered within four business hours and booked the same business day once approved.
What is the $50 flight fee for?
Ticketing, changes and the 24/7 disruption line behind every ticket we issue. Flat, per ticket, never a percentage – and hotels carry no booking fee at all.
What happens at 11pm?
Air disruptions route to a 24/7 desk that can reroute, rebook or reissue any ticket we have issued, at any hour. Hotel and itinerary changes are handled in business hours.
How does the desk get paid?
Hotels compensate the desk on partner bookings – standard across the industry, and why the perks cost you nothing – plus the retainer. No markups, no percentage of spend. If your travel is too light to cover the retainer, we tell you on the first call rather than sign you.
Why not a TMC?
A TMC is built to serve a thousand-person company and prices for that. Their per-transaction fees and platform costs make no sense at your size – which is why nobody has sold you anything good yet.
