Travel Expenses: Top 3 Essential Monthly Expenditures
The latest data from Numbeo – a website specializing in statistics on the cost of living in countries around the world shows that transportation expenses rank third in the top essential expenses of Vietnamese people (almost 1/5 of monthly expenses). This proves that every day, Vietnamese people have to spend money on transportation, including: motorbikes, cars, and transportation of goods…
In the current economic context, consumers are increasingly choosing smarter spending options. Saving and efficiency have become the deciding factors. Therefore, choosing cost-effective products and services that still meet their needs has become a new consumption behavior of the Vietnamese people.
“Every morning, I have to take my 2 children to school before going to work. Usually, I will choose to take a ride-hailing service or a bus because of my children, congested roads, and especially during holidays and Tet where I hesitate to ride a motorbike. The monthly transportation expenses are quite high, but it’s almost impossible to reduce them for savings. Not to mention special occasions or summer trips, where additional expenses are needed for outings and extracurricular activities…” – Ms. T.M. (35 years old, office worker with 2 children).
Meanwhile, Mr. N.H. (30 years old, Thu Duc) works and runs his own business, so 80% of his day is dedicated to work while the remaining 20% is for exercising and resting. “I almost never cook because I don’t have enough time. I usually choose restaurants that specialize in ‘eat clean’ and ‘healthy’ dishes to ensure my health. But these dishes are usually more expensive than other foods, so I can’t cut back on my daily meal expenses to save money.” – he shares.
The more you travel, the more you save with BE’s smart features
Understanding the needs of customers who want to save money while maintaining efficiency, the BE platform has just introduced the Expense Management feature, with the goal of helping customers better control their transportation and dining expenses on a monthly basis.
Customers can access the “Expense Management” feature from the homepage or the Account page
This Expense Management feature allows customers to track their expenses for each service (including beBike, beCar, beFood) over a desired period of time. At the same time, this feature also supports comparing expenses with the previous week/month. As a result, customers can be more proactive in controlling and managing their transportation expenses in the most economical way.
With BE’s Expense Management feature, consumers completely grasp their own/family’s monthly transportation and dining needs. From there, they can consider using the “Personalized Savings Package” on the BE platform to receive benefits. Currently, BE has an attractive program that helps users save up to 25% (equivalent to millions of VND) in monthly expenses for services on the BE platform.
Customers can save millions of VND thanks to BE’s “Savings Package”
By introducing the Expense Management feature combined with the offers from BE, Vietnamese users can plan for new savings, and take a more proactive approach in managing their personal/family finances. With this “combo” launch at the beginning of this year, BE is becoming closer to its mission of becoming the companion of Vietnamese people with its existing services.
