A developing product that consolidates reporting for business travel.

Reviewed on 2018/01/31

Knowing where employees are traveling ahead of time has been very beneficial.

Knowing where employees are traveling ahead of time has been very beneficial.

Pros

The product has improved dramatically over the past year, and the company continues to put resources towards additional improvements. The main benefit is consolidating reporting for business travel while also giving an employees an incentive to save money.

Cons

The platform is still a work-in-progress, so some of the UI takes getting used to. Sometimes I question the pricing as it will be higher than other travel websites, especially for international travel.

Best travel software I've used

Pros

Customer service is likely one of the best things TripActions has to offer. Whenever a flight gets delayed/cancelled or something is going on they always let me know before the airline even does.

Plus it's great to get Amazon credit for booking within the company asks. Product is easy to use and never gives me headaches like Concur used to do.

Cons

Nothing really comes to mind if I'm being honest.

Terrible. They want me to pay thousands of dollars even after admitting their system handled my use case oddly. This software looks slick, but isn’t ready for large companies that need to handle many personas & use cases.

Pros

The support people are nice, but ultimately cannot resolve problems.

Cons

1- the UX for booking & cancellation are different. 2- the cost for misunderstanding is extraordinarily high 3- support takes forever & cannot resolve issues 4- bookings are charged to your credit card by Navan as well as any airlines involved (e.g. 1 flight through Delta and Air France was initially billed 3 times)

SO easy to use! I love the 24/7 hour support and the help that the Trip Actions team provides for me. They make painful travel extremely painless. I have recommended TripActions to several of my friends.

Also - the rewards are awesome!

Cons

The colors, sometimes the vast number of options can be confusing... other than that - really nothing!

Makes booking travel super manageable

Reviewed on 2024/06/06

Pros

It's great to have everything on one site as opposed to manually checking airline/hotel rates vs third party sites like Kayak.

Cons

Still leaves out other smaller 3rd party discount travel sites - especially for hotels.

That my entire trip was in one place - and all rewards information can still be applied.

Cons

The rental car function needs a lot of work. My receipt showed different information than the company had on one trip which was a painful issue to reconcile.

The different product are hard to understand initially but once you figure that out it is relatively easy to use

Pros

Eveything is there within the app, if you are on a phone everything is really easy to pick up and submit info. Now that I know how to best use the apps I look forward to planning a trip with Trip Actions Liquid (or is it called Lemonade)

Cons

I was very confused for the first month trying to figure out if I need to use TripAciton or Trip actions Liquid and was also a bit disappointed that the platform is very much focused on a mobile experience and not desktop. I personally like to do my expense report and planing on a PC

Pros

Nothing, overall horrible overpriced software.

Cons

For every change, you need to wait HOURS so an agent can talk to you. If you need to change your flight, be prepared to wait 8 hours so an agent becomes available

Also, EVERYTHING IS OVERPRICED. They charge your company 2x-3x the available price

We don't have to spend as much time manually scheduling flights/bookings which is very helpful, but there have been a bunch of bugs that detracts from that experience.

Pros

I like that it's very easy to send candidates a link where they can book their own hotels/flights. We can see everyone who has booked/hasn't booked and follow up with them. I no longer need to spend time booking those things for them, unless requested.

Cons

There are definitely some bugs that have led to a poor candidate experience for us. For instance, sometimes requests for the candidate/guest to enter their personal CC information even when we have already specified that we are using the company card on file.

As a growing company ourselves, I realize that it is hard to obtain good customer service for the help desk. It was pretty clear that everyone I chatted with was extremely new and at times I felt that I knew the product better than your team for those easy questions.

Pros

I liked that everything was in one site. I could put in all my frequent flyer/hotel numbers. I liked the reward program to encourage behavior among our users. I like the fact I can put in a $ to beat for hotels.

Cons

We didn't properly understand the site when we started or best practices when setting up. This led to confusion. We needed more best practices. Example: People were trying to book rooms for multiple users. These other users were not in the system yet and we didn't understand why it was working. Once we figured out that they also needed to register, it was easy. But this was after hours of frustration on the end users. We seemed to have trouble setting up our corporate numbers in TripActions. I realize that this was probably on our end with the hotel but since we never figured it out, a percentage of users need to go outside Tripactions to book our corporate rate hotels. Paying a fee for hotel only is also a big concern. Doesn't make sense to use the system for the corporate hotels and pay an extra $20.

My overall experience was outstanding!

Pros

The software was the greatest travel & expense management software I've ever used. The software is very user friendly and has great features, in booking and submitting expenses with the credit card option. When using the software and credit card for business, company reimbursements are the fastest I've ever experienced.

Cons

I actually have nothing bad to say about this software. It is by far the best I've used of its kind.

Generally good attitude towards tripactions. Coming from non managed our team isn’t crazy about the change, but that’s more of an change management issue. Without the rewards there isn’t anything that employees are crazy about.

Pros

CSM’s are great. Help desk team usually is really responsive and helpful. Booking fees are definitely a little on the expensive side. Their reps can go and negotiate rates on our behalf.

Cons

Small issues with single sign on. This tickets been open for quite some time. Wished that could prioritize this and close the loop

I really look forward to booking work travel on TripActions so I can try to earn Amazon dollars. It can just be tough to do so when traveling to the Bay Area because everything is so expensive.

Pros

As an employee, I really like that I can earn Amazon gift cards for booking affordable travel options. And I’m sure my employer likes that more budget friendly options are incentivized.

Cons

It can be kind of tough to search for hotels, if you’re looking for a specific place that you’ve already decided to stay.

TripActions self-serve booking is a must

Reviewed on 2022/12/12

Pros

TripActions is the next best thing to having a travel planner for each employee. I've used it both as an admin and a user. I love being able to book for myself, customize the trip to my own schedule and know I am booking within the preset company policy.I am also able to book for the executives at my company, through the delegation feature, which is essential for executive assistants. Being able to store all of our travel info -- rewards accounts, KTN, etc -- in the same place is invaluable. For companies on the go, it is the best option.

Cons

You won't have access to every available flight or hotel. That said, I've always found a wide selection of options included and never felt overly limited.

TripActions - So easy to use

Reviewed on 2019/07/30

Pros

- It is very easy to use for both business and personal trips. The search features for flights, hotels, and rental cars are very easy to use and manipulate.
- It definitely finds the best pricing on all aspects of trips. I routinely find the pricing to be 10% cheaper than what I can find using other methods.
- I like the reward option which allows you to reserve cheaper options and bank Amazon rewards.
- I like that I can easily (one toggle) switch from business to personal trips.

Cons

- So far, my only (very minor) compliant is that you cannot reserve Exit Row seating on an airline during your initial booking. You must call the airline after the reservation is made. Minor annoyance and most likely a requirement of the airline industry.

Great platform for booking travel

Reviewed on 2022/11/30

Pros

As a person who likes to save money, TripActions has a great features that allows the company to save money and the employee to earn amazon gift cards. While I enjoy a fancy hotel room as much as the next person, the chance to earn $$$ helped change my booking habits. And the company saves money as well so it's a win win. The site UI is clean and responsive, it's able to search through many listings quickly.

Cons

Sometimes the search results would not include certain pricing, or the pricing was consistent with the hotel vendor but it did not allow for points. This is confusing, TripAction should at least provide pricing consistent with the hotel website.
