Ramp Travel handles business travel bookings and expenses, applying policy controls at booking and helping reconcile costs afterward. Users can book flights, hotels and car rentals. Policies can set guardrails by traveler role, department, trip location and duration, and approval requests go to the appropriate approver. Ramp matches receipts to transactions, codes expenses and suggests memos. It monitors hotel rates and automatically rebooks when a price falls by $50 or more. For bookings made on other travel platforms, it can match transactions to bookings, capture receipts and check expenses against policy. Travelers can check policy, view trip details and ask questions through SMS, Slack or the Ramp app; mobile apps are available on iOS and Android. The Free plan is free and is billed at $0/mo/user. Plus costs $15 a month, billed at $15/mo/user plus a platform fee based on team size; annual billing saves 20%. Enterprise pricing is custom. Free includes 24/7 chat support, while Plus and Enterprise include 24/7 phone support for travel bookings. Ramp lists SSO, MFA, encryption, and integrations across several business categories.
