3 Main reasons why customers have chosen TravelPerk in the last year

No hidden fees: one monthly spend

With TravelPerk, you only pay when you travel. However, FCM charges per item, including everything from bookings to reimbursement requests.

7-Star customer service

TravelPerk’s 24/7 support operates at a target 15-second response time and is included in your monthly subscription.

Integrations at your fingertips

In a few clicks, TravelPerk’s online booking tool integrates with the solutions you’re already using: expense management, HR and travel risk management tools. However, FCM’s integrations are more limited.

There’s no hidden fees with TravelPerk

Your monthly subscription fee with TravelPerk won’t fluctuate depending on the travel you book or the TravelPerk services you use. It’s one fee, one invoice, all of the time. Plus, you’ll only be paying if you use the platform that month!

However, FCM charges users depending on each and every transaction. You’ll be paying for everything individually, from travel tickets to reservations, refunds to rentals, hotel reservations, when you book flights and more. If you’re travelling a lot in one month, it’s going to reflect in your end-of-month invoice.

Access top-rated, 24/7 support with TravelPerk

TravelPerk’s in-house customer service team gives them 360° control over the care they have on hand for your travellers and their itineraries. The 24/7 support team has been reviewed as “incredibly attentive” and “extremely prompt and accommodating.” TravelPerk operates at a target 15 second response time and is accessible via in-app chat, email or phone—whatever suits your team best.
