How Concur Travel Works
Manage Business and Corporate Travel with Concur Travel
With so many travel options to choose from, help your employees to make the right choices with Concur Travel.
By integrating travel and expense, SAP Concur makes managing business travel and expense easy. Concur Travel helps your travellers stay compliant with policies while also making it easy to make changes to travel plans as needed, no matter where and when those changes arise.
What Is Concur Travel and How Does It Work?
Booking a business trip should be easy. Using a single, intuitive interface, it’s simple for employees to search and book flights, trains, hotels, and rental cars at the right price, all while staying compliant with your travel policy.
Negotiated and published fares are displayed in an easy-to-read table, with convenient colour-coded indicators that show which options are within policy, and which aren’t.
Drawing travel content from multiple sources, Concur Travel not only gives employees more options together in one place but also guides them to make the best choices for their travel needs. They can even see which options offer e-receipts to facilitate fast and seamless expense reporting.
“I also like how Concur integrates with corporate travel booking tools and company policies. When planning a trip, I can easily see compliant options for flights, hotels, and rental cars, which makes planning faster and ensures I stay within guidelines. For approvers and finance teams, the transparency and audit trail are extremely valuable. The system provides clear visibility into spending patterns, helps enforce policy compliance, and simplifies reimbursement workflows.” – G2 Review User

Employees are taking now more individual responsibility.
- Before the move, only 10% of employees were handling their own mileage and expense reports. Now it’s 50%.
