Navan review

Navan charges a plan rather than a fee per booking: Free travel plan; $15/user/mo after 5 free users. The monthly rate per user comes into play once the initial allowance is used up, so a company that books travel all year can work the cost out in advance.

Bookings cover flights, rail and hotels. Flights, rail, hotels and car rental all sit in the same account, so a traveller does not need separate suppliers for the flight and the stay. Buses, ferries and cruises sit outside that list.

Support runs on chat and phone, so live chat and a phone line are both available. The phone route matters most when a flight change cannot wait, and chat suits quicker questions about a booking in progress.

Yes, there is a mobile app, so bookings and changes can be made away from a desk. A company travel coordinator arranging staff trips is the usual reason to use it, and the same pricing applies on the app: Free travel plan; $15/user/mo after 5 free users.

The operator is Navan, Inc., based in the US and founded in 2015. It is a business travel booking service rather than a consumer holiday site, so plan pricing is aimed at organisations that place many bookings.

Not within the product list, which reads flights, rail and hotels. For a coach journey, FlixBus covers bus on its own routes, so Navan is not the place to arrange that leg. Hotels and car rental remain available.

It suits teams that book travel repeatedly, because the plan cost can be worked out ahead of time: Free travel plan; $15/user/mo after 5 free users. A traveller booking a single trip for themselves would pay more for the account than for one fare, so the value sits with repeat corporate bookings.

Navan works on a monthly plan: Free travel plan; $15/user/mo after 5 free users. Latam Travellers instead lists 0 hidden fees, no contracts, which suits a traveller who would rather commit to nothing before booking a single trip.
