GROUND TRANSPORTATION
All ground transportation, except for personal vehicles, taxis and hotel shuttles, should be
booked through BCD, either online or over the phone.
Ground Transportation, Automobile Rental, & Airport Parking
Associates are expected to use the most appropriate and economical means of
transportation for business travel. Taxi, car service, bus and rail service, in lieu of
automobile rental or personal auto usage, should be used when such transportation
represents the lowest cost option and is reasonably convenient. Many hotels provide
shuttle service to and from major airports. A rental car should not be used solely for the
purpose of travel between hotel and airport. When several travelers are visiting the
same location, arrangement should be made to share the ride.
Rental Cars
Associates must book rental cars or vans via BCD.
An intermediate (mid-size) car will be reserved for all Williams-Sonoma, Inc. associates
with our preferred vendors.
Cars rented under the corporate contract are not available for personal use and must
never be driven by anyone other than a WSI associate, as the Company’s insurance
covers WSI associates and applies to business use only.
WSI has national contracts with Hertz, National, Enterprise, AVIS, and Budget, which
guarantees insurance coverage when traveling in the US and prevents your
department from being billed should your rental car be stolen, vandalized, or involved
in an accident.
All travelers should sign up for each company’s specified rewards program.
