Evolvi suspends 'uplift' fees for TMCs during pandemic

Evolvi, the online corporate rail platform, is suspending its standard 'uplift' fees for TMCs not meeting the company's usual qualifying spend threshold while the coronavirus pandemic persists. 

Evolvi has also enhanced its automated refund process to make it as easy as possible for travel management companies to access refunds for Advance purchase rail tickets for journeys impacted by the lockdown.  In addition, the Evolvi system now enables unrestricted ticket types to be refunded without the usual RDG administration fee. Evolvi does not levy administration fees for ticket refunds. 

Andrew Cantrell, Evolvi Managing Director, commented: "As an industry, we are all finding it difficult during the current pandemic and subsequent restrictions on travel. As a result, Evolvi is suspending the monthly "uplift" fee that is usually applied when spend by a TMC is below a defined threshold. Although a small gesture in the scheme of much wider issues, every little helps."
