Also worth knowing before you Google: **TravelPerk rebranded to just \"Perk\" in November 2025**, so older reviews and the new name describe the same company.\n\nHere's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd try them:\n\n**1. Navan - the default starting point for most small businesses.** Travel booking is free for companies up to ~200-300 employees (no platform fee, no per-booking fee), it includes policy rules, approvals, 24/7 agent support, and HRIS integrations, and the expense side is free for your first 5 users then $15/user/month. For a small company, \"good enough and free\" beats \"slightly better and $300/month,\" and it scales if you grow. ([navan.com/pricing](https://navan.com/pricing))\n\n**2. Perk (formerly TravelPerk) - best if you travel in Europe or by rail.** Its inventory breadth is the real differentiator: flights, hotels, trains, and cars in one place, plus genuinely useful group/event booking.
