Hotel Price Drop: Automatic savings for business travel

Business travelers routinely overpay for hotel stays without even realizing it. Despite booking a room at the best available rate at that moment, prices can drop significantly, and most employees lack the time or incentive to monitor these fluctuations.

That's why we built Hotel Price Drop for Ramp Travel. This feature continues to watch your hotel price after booking—and if it drops by $50 or more, it automatically rebooks the exact same accommodations at the lower rate. No human intervention needed. The system will vigilantly check for better rates until the booking is no longer refundable.

This approach solves several common business travel challenges. Companies save an average of 12% on these bookings without ever asking or expecting employees to spend time comparison shopping after booking. Travel managers benefit from the increased oversight that comes with more employees having a reason to book travel through the Ramp platform. And finance teams appreciate the automatic cost reduction without added administrative burden.

Our reporting dashboard provides complete visibility into the process. Users can view both the original and new reservations, the amount saved, and refund status—all in one place. This transparency ensures everyone understands the value being delivered.

Ready to stop overpaying for business hotel stays? This is just one of the ways we've built Ramp Travel to save you time and money. Read more here or explore our demo!

Our previous bill pay process probably took a good 10 hours per AP batch. Now it just takes a couple of minutes between getting an invoice entered, approved, and processed.

We no longer have to comb through expense records for the whole month — having everything in one spot has been really convenient. Ramp's made things more streamlined and easy for us to stay on top of. It's been a night and day difference.

It's great to be able to park our operating cash in the Ramp Business Account where it earns an actual return and then also pay the bills from that account to maximize float.

The practice managers love Ramp, it allows them to keep some agency for paying practice expenses. They like that they can instantaneously attach receipts at the time of transaction, and that they can text back-and-forth with the automated system. We've gotten a lot of good feedback from users.

The reason I've been such a super fan of Ramp is the product velocity. Not only is it incredibly beneficial to the user, it’s also something that gives me confidence in your ability to continue to pull away from other products.
