August 2025 Expensify Travel Update: Centralized travel billing, event management, and itineraries

Coordinating business travel is one of the last great pain points in modern work, so we built Expensify Travel to eliminate the hassle. From booking flights to managing expenses, we’ve automated the process for travelers, admins, and everyone in between.

This month, Expensify Travel gets even better with three powerful updates.

TL;DR: What’s new in Expensify Travel (August 2025)

• Centralized billing for company-wide travel purchases
• Built-in event travel management for group bookings
• Smart, mobile-friendly travel itineraries for every employee

Central billing is here

Travel budgets aren’t one-size-fits-all. With centralized billing, your company decides how travel is paid for and who controls it.

Now you can:

• Choose which expenses go on the company card (flights, hotels, cars, etc.)

• Assign one card for the whole team or different cards for each department

• Auto-categorize, reconcile, and track receipts – no manual entry required

• See all travel bookings and expenses in realtime

• Prevent fraud with stricter spend controls

• Close the books faster with automated reconciliation

Manage group travel like a pro

Offsites, conferences, and client summits don’t have to come with spreadsheet chaos. With built-in event management, Expensify Travel keeps everything organized.

You can now:

• Share custom travel booking links for any event

• Let each attendee book their own travel within your policy

• Set different rules per traveler or apply them in bulk

• Create reusable templates for recurring events like candidate interviews

• Track and bill everything centrally to stay on budget

Travel itineraries, reimagined

Scrambling to find your gate or hotel address? Expensify Travel now delivers beautiful, organized itineraries for every traveler, right inside the app.

What’s included:

• All bookings grouped by trip, whether prepaid or charged at checkout

• Admins and exec assistants can book on behalf of others, with expenses routed correctly

• Employees automatically receive trip info for flights, hotels, cars, and rail

• Perfect for solo travelers, assistants, and group coordinators alike
