Overall Satisfaction with TravelPerk

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use TravelPerk for the majority of the travel our organization does. We have policy control and transparency on the arrangements which have been made. This provides us with cost control functionality while still allowing everyone the flexibility to manage their own travel.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Policy control.
User administration.
Competitive Travel pricing.

Cons

We really need an "executive assistant" function for people who book other people's travel, but shouldn't have access to the policy controls.
A few bugs still, but the team are proactive in responding to feedback.

Return on Investment

Generally, there are cost savings available over other options.
Providing employees with autonomy frees up the management team from having to book and/or approve travel.

Alternatives Considered

We chose TravelPerk for its integration with Expensive, which we no longer use.

Likelihood to Recommend

TravelPerk works well for preplanned travel and for teams where autonomy in managing arrangements is encouraged. The layers of control mean you can make the policies stricter for less self-managed teams.
TravelPerk would be challenging but not impossible to use for complex trips and arrangements with multiple people meeting in locations, but it works well for different people all going to a conference together or other scenarios where you want to team to stay together. It can be used for personal travel, but we have that functionality turned off.
