TravelPerk Partners to Offer to Divvy Clients Travel Services

Share

TravelPerk will provide travel booking and management services for U.S. clients of small and midsize business and expense specialist Divvy under a new partnership between the companies.

The newly launched Divvy Travel, powered by TravelPerk, will enable Divvy clients to access TravelPerk’s full platform, including its air, hotel and ground booking tool, along with traveler support, reporting and features such as the TravelCare risk management tool and FlexiPerk cancelation refund service.

Those travel services can be integrated with Divvy’s own spending and expense tools, including its virtual card solution, to offer clients an integrated payment and booking model offering greater visibility into and control over corporate travel spending, the companies said.

Divvy customers would pay $15 per trip to access the full gamut of TravelPerk services, according to Divvy. Meanwhile, TravelPerk’s Premium and Pro customers, conversely, can access Divvy’s spend management solution at no additional cost.

Divvy in late 2018 struck a similar partnership with TripActions to offer travel services to Divvy’s clients, but the companies no longer have a relationship, according to Divvy.

While TripActions and other tech-centric travel management providers have expanded into offering their own payment and expense services in recent years, Barcelona-based TravelPerk prefers to take a partnership-based approach, integrating its travel platform with third-party payment and expense specialists, according to company leaders.

TravelPerk in April closed a $160 million investment round, three months after expanding its U.S. presence significantly by acquiring travel management provider NexTravel.
