Everything we built to make business travel better in 2019

In 2019, we added 307 employees, but not just because we wanted to make our end of year party epic. We also opened 3 offices, and raised $60m in funding to close our Series C at $104m, because we know there are more business travel pains to solve and we feel like we’re the right people for the job.

We doubled down on our mission to fix business travel. We knew we had to make more improvements to the traveler experience, try and remove the inflexibility of business travel bookings, and save even more time for office teams.
When you book a train with Special Data TravelPerk, you get the same benefits. Travel spend reporting, oversight, and control, everything you get when you book a flight or hotel.

We rolled trains out of beta and made major improvements to the train booking experience, and in May, we announced our newest rail integration with Trainline, Europe’s leading train platform. Trainline offers the most UK rail options. Period. Our partnership with Trainline includes access to etickets, seat reservations, preferences, and even tube connections.

You can also now use your discount cards with Deutsche Bhan, SNCF, Thalys, and UK Rail to get the best prices right inside of TravelPerk.



And we made it easy to add loyalty points when you book trains with TravelPerk too. We support Club Eurostar, SNCF Voyageur, Thalys TheCard, and +Renfe.

Car rentals at the ready
We knew that not having cars was a big omission from our inventory, so we went ahead and added them, but we made sure we did it right.

Now you can book from your favorite rental car providers: Avis, Enterprise, Europcar, Hertz, National, and Sixt—with more on the way.

Flexible business travel
Stuck in Barcelona
FlexiPerk means business travel is finally flexible
Business travel can be stressful. Booking and paying for trips that get canceled is something every business has to put up with. So in July, we launched FlexiPerk in beta, and in November we made it fully available to everyone in the US, UK, Germany, and Spain.

With FlexiPerk, you can cancel any flight, hotel, car, or train for any reason, and get 90% or more of your money refunded, right up until 2 hours before you fly. All you have to do is pay an extra 10% of your trip cost upfront.
