Business travel gets expensive. When employees purchase flights, meals or other travel expenses, they don’t always check to see if every purchase is within the company travel policy. Shocking reimbursement requests, limited visibility into travel spend and questionable travel fares wreak havoc on the bottom line.

That’s where Rippling Spend comes in. In addition to its expense management, corporate cards and bill pay solutions, Rippling Spend now offers a free consumer-grade travel product — all from a single, unified platform.

Rippling Travel is the only travel solution deeply integrated with company spending, policies and employee data, which means customizing automated expense approvals, dynamic travel fare policies and real-time spending dashboards is a breeze. The result: improved policy compliance, regular trips within budget and more time for finance and accounting teams to focus on strategic work.

What is Rippling Travel?

Rippling Travel promises to deliver a user-friendly booking experience for employees while providing granular, real-time spending controls to business admins.

The platform offers the same fares and inventory as other online search engines, such as Google Flights and Kayak, so employees will know they’re seeing all the options for available flights. It’s available on desktop and mobile devices, so teams can book flights and hotels from their computers and check in with their smartphones.

Rippling Travel also allows businesses to set ultra-granular spending policies based on key employee and trip data, like employee seniority, their office or department and the length of a trip. Once these policies are set, those rules are automatically enforced via Rippling corporate cards. Out-of-policy transactions are declined before they can be completed. This saves teams from hours of sifting through expense reports and looking for potential issues. These features make it easy for employers to institute sensible travel policies without having to implement time-consuming processes.

A better way to control travel costs and support your team

Travel is one of the largest variable costs for many businesses and one of the hardest to control. That’s why Rippling Travel is built to give companies unprecedented control over every aspect of employee travel, from flights to hotels to inflight upgrades. With hyper-custom policies that pull directly from your HRIS data—like role, department or office location—companies can automatically enforce detailed rules without manual oversight. Dynamic price caps adjust in real time based on market conditions, helping your team stay within budget no matter where they go

But managing costs doesn’t mean sacrificing the employee experience. Rippling Travel makes booking trips as intuitive as a Google search, with a clean interface, clear policy guidance and access to major inventory like Expedia and Priceline. Unlike other platforms, employees can get 24/7 live support from real, in-house agents, not chatbots.

On the admin side, Rippling automates the entire travel process from booking to reconciliation. That means no more hours spent on expense reports or chasing approvals. With instant auto-matching of receipts, smart routing based on role or budget, and real-time visibility into spending and compliance, your finance team can spend less time on paperwork and more time on strategic work.
