Navan** - my default recommendation for a small business. Travel booking is free for companies under ~300 employees (they make money on supplier commissions), you get real inventory (flights, hotels, rail, cars), policy enforced at booking, and 24/7 live agents when a flight cancels - which is the thing that actually matters at 2am. Expense/card is a paid add-on (~$15/user/mo after the first few seats) if you want it. [navan.com](https://navan.com/blog/5-best-corporate-travel-booking-tools)\n\n**2. TravelPerk** - the best pure *travel* product, and the one I'd pick if booking is your pain point and you already have expenses handled. Free Starter tier covers your first 5 bookings/month, then ~5% per booking (with per-booking min/max caps). Strongest European and rail inventory of the bunch, and **FlexiPerk** - pay a premium, cancel up to 2 hours before departure, get ~80% back - is genuinely useful if your trips get rescheduled a lot.
