Keeping Your Belongings Safe During Holiday Travel

When you think of TSA you think security but did you know that in the year, airlines lost 7 bags for every 1,000 passengers? That is true according to the Department of Transportation. A steadily rise each year from 2002, when the industry lost 3.84 bags for every 1,000 fliers. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) estimates that, “for each of it’s employees who touches a bag, six to 10 airline or airport employees and contractors touch the same bag once it's out of the passenger's sight, increasing the chances of loss or theft.” Full Story Here

Granted, this is not the kind of thing you want to hear about during the holiday season yet, getting your belongings rummaged through and your valuables or much needed medication stolen would be far worse.

So while you are planning you trip to go see “Aunt Jane” in California why not take a little extra precautions to keep your belongings safe and to get you through check points faster. Here are some tips.

Carry valuable jewelry and medications on your person – anything stolen or lost is usually never reimbursed.

Consider shipping your luggage and gifts – A new service like Luggage Free has emerged as ways to bypass the hassles of checking bags. You jus pack your suitcases as usual no special packaging needed. Shipping slips and return slips are mailed to you with a pickup time scheduled.

Computer Rentals for a Slowing Economy

In today’s economic environment companies are looking for every angle possible to control their spending and preserve their lines of credit with their bank. One way to help accomplish that goal is by renting your computer equipment when the project or need is short term.

When the economy is good companies might be more inclined to buy an expensive projector that would only be used a few times a year. Or they might be inclined to purchase a trade show display or a kiosk so they could display at an annual trade show. But with technology changing so rapidly and with such uncertainty in the business and financial world a short term computer rental makes even more sense as both a hedge for the preservation of needed capitol and the guarantee of always having the latest technology.

By using a Tech Travel Agent to rent only the technology you need when you need it you can still have that high end projector or professional looking trade show display or kiosk, and the equipment is delivered right to you with set up by our trained professionals. For example a high end LCD Projector could sell for over five thousand dollars but a two day rental could be had for a tiny fraction of that cost. Why spend all that money and take the risk of transporting such expensive equipment if you don't have to?

Also a technology rental avoids several negative tax implications as your company will have the use of the equipment but not the tax burden of ownership. It’s also common for equipment rental fees to be completely charged back to the contract or job for which they were required. And in either case the rental is an expense to the business and as such contributes to lowering any potential tax on profits.
