Best travel sites for small business?

I just joined a startup, and one thing we all left and miss from our BigCo jobs was corporate travel with a travel agency. We are NOT looking for discount travel specifically, but rather a consistent travel site that can handle our schedules, air, rental, and hotels in one shot. We just don't have time to jump around to 10 sites to book travel, and our schedules, like most business travelers, is not flexible. Hotwire, Priceline, et. al. all seem to focus on price not schedule.

NYTimes reported a year ago that more and more businesses are going back to travel agents for the exact reasons you mention.

We recently hired an admin assistant. One of the biggest reasons for this hire was that between our CEO and myself our travel planning was taking up far too much of my time. I would say either get yourself an admin or go with a travel agent - it's so worth it. I never have to worry about this stuff now.

This is the kind of work that Tim Ferriss writes about outsourcing to "virtual assistants" in his Four Hour Workweek book and on his site. Sorry for not linking, gotta get back to work! It's an easy Google, though.
