Orange County Corporate Travel Agency

Jacqueline Murphy

Team Leader

Can you describe a moment when your travel expertise saved a client time, money, or major stress?

During the CrowdStrike worldwide outage, we had a client who was in Germany and was trying to get home for a family wedding, when his flights were suddenly canceled. The next available flight wasn’t for 5 days, but we put our whole team on finding a solution, continually checking the surrounding airports and refreshing availability.

Suddenly, one seat opened up on a flight leaving from an airport 3 hours away. We immediately secured the seat, issued a ticket for him, and booked a train ride for him to the airport. In the end, he made it home in time for the wedding!

Travel Manager

Insider Tip for business travel in Orange County: If it’s your first time traveling to Orange County, I recommend basing yourself in Irvine. It’s central, offers easy freeway access to local business hubs, and has a great selection of meeting and dining spots.

One advantage of working with a corporate travel management team here in Orange County is our strong local vendor relationships and expertise. We can help secure great hotel accommodations and rental cars, as well as suggest some of the best local dining spots that we love as locals.

Partner with a corporate travel agency in Orange County that puts your business first

Looking for a place to stay in Orange County?

Orange County doesn't have one center — it has several. Your morning meeting might be in Irvine's business district, your client dinner in Newport Beach, and your next call in Anaheim. Getting the location right matters more here than almost anywhere else in Southern California.  

That's where Corporate Traveler comes in. We'll match you with the right hotel for your schedule and business needs, no guesswork required. Every property has been personally vetted by our Travel Managers, so you can spend less time on the 405 and more time focused on business. Talk to a Corporate Traveler expert to get started. 

Our top hotel partners in Orange County:

  • Kimpton Shorebreak Huntington Beach: A boutique beachfront resort directly across from the Huntington Beach Pier, with more than 10,000 square feet of meeting and event space, full A/V capabilities, complimentary Wi-Fi, and custom catering from its chef-driven restaurant. 
  • Hyatt Regency Irvine: The largest hotel in central Orange County. All guest rooms include work desks, high-speed Wi-Fi, and USB-A and USB-C charging, with more than 56,000 square feet of flexible meeting and event space on-site. 
  • Embassy Suites Irvine: An all-suites hotel less than a mile from John Wayne Airport, with spacious two-room suites featuring a separate living room, private bedroom, microwave, refrigerator, and dining and work area. Includes a complimentary cooked-to-order breakfast and a 24-hour business center. 
  • Sonesta Irvine: A full-service hotel two miles from John Wayne Airport with 7,500 square feet of event space across nine configurable meeting rooms, plus the Sonesta Work Suite, a multi-zone collaboration space with seating for up to 54 people and a private outdoor patio. Complimentary airport shuttle runs daily from 6am to 10pm. 
  • Hyatt House Irvine: A residential-style extended-stay hotel in Irvine's central business district, with complimentary breakfast, a free airport shuttle to and from John Wayne Airport, and 1,121 square feet of flexible meeting space across two gathering rooms.

Our top car rental partners in Orange County

A note on getting around: Unlike San Francisco or New York, Orange County is not a city you can navigate without a car. Public transit is limited, distances between business hubs are significant, and meetings in Irvine, Anaheim, Newport Beach, and Huntington Beach can easily span 20 to 30 miles in a single day. A rental car isn't optional here — it's part of the trip. Corporate Traveler can help you secure preferred rates with our car rental partners so it's one less thing to think about. 

  • Enterprise: One of the largest car rental networks in the US, with multiple Orange County locations and a strong corporate account program. 
  • Alamo: A popular choice for business travelers, with self-serve kiosks for faster pickup and a wide vehicle selection across OC locations. 
  • Budget: A cost-effective option for longer rentals or extended stays, with convenient pickup at John Wayne Airport. 
  • Hertz: A trusted corporate travel staple with Gold Plus Rewards for frequent renters and a dedicated business travel program. 
  • Avis: Known for its Avis Preferred program, offering expedited pickup and a strong network of OC locations for flexible, last-minute bookings. 

What’s stopping you from a better TMC in Orange County? Mythbusters edition.

  • Switching TMCs is too hard
    ct-hw-tech-and-human.jpg

    It's not. Our team handles onboarding, workflow customization, and Melon setup. You're live in days — often faster than you expect — with zero disruption to current travel. 

  • DIY booking seems easier and cheaper
    ct-hw-centralise-early.jpg

    Until you factor in the hours spent searching, higher rates, and travel hiccups nobody's around to fix. Our experts secure exclusive corporate rates and handle problems in real time. You save money and sanity. 

  • TMCs can't handle specialized expertise
    ct-hw-protect-people.jpg

    Last-minute departures? Multi-city roadshows? VIP logistics? Our corporate travel providers handle complex itineraries daily. Melon's platform adapts to your exact workflow, not the other way around. 

  • Tech integration is always a headache

Hear it from our clients

We've helped growing businesses like yours save time, cut costs, and unlock real ROI on every trip.

My team was fantastic. They all joined the onboarding call, and all my questions were answered on the spot. They also sent email templates I could share with my team to assist in the communications rollout to staff about the new service for the office. Finally, whenever I have questions for the team, they always get back to me within 24 hours (or less), and the responses are always very detailed, often with attachments and screenshots. Honestly, I wish every company I worked with had an onboarding process as smooth and organized as Corporate Traveler's.

- Tamara, The Dermatology Association

I finally felt comfortable stepping away from the travel booking process because of the robust onboarding process, reporting tools, as well as trusting our travel manager and online booking platform to enforce our policy.

- Hillary McElroy, Strategic Assistant to the CEO @ FiberVisions

Our booking fees have fallen and we’re now capturing more travel spend and have greater overall visibility, allowing us to really pinpoint where there are further savings to be made.

- Vicki Mann, Executive Assistant @ New Era

My organization never sleeps, there's very few people in the market that can give me around the sun customer service and Corporate Traveler does it.

- Jake Trees, Sr. Director of Operational Security @ InterNews

I’ve been an EA for 10+ years and dealt with many travel agencies during that time. Corporate Traveler is a shining star. I worked at a small med device startup, used them and we were treated with white-glove, personalized service with dedicated travel agents.
