About Navan

Navan (formerly TripActions) is a corporate travel and expense management platform used by companies to book and manage business trips in one place. Based in Palo Alto, California, Navan combines online booking for flights, hotels, trains, and car rentals with corporate cards, expense reporting, and policy controls. Employees typically access Navan through their employer’s account, using either a Navan-issued corporate card or a personal card that is later reimbursed, while the company pays Navan’s service and platform fees.

A Navan charge may appear on your bank or card statement when you book business travel (airfare, hotel, rental car, rail, or other trip-related services) through the Navan platform or when a Navan corporate card is used for a work purchase. You might also see charges under legacy descriptors like “TRIPACTIONS,” “NAVAN TRAVEL,” “LIQUID BY NAVAN,” or similar. Common scenarios include one-time trip purchases, hotel stays where the final amount posts after check-out, recurring company platform or service fees billed monthly to a corporate card, refunds or partial credits after itinerary changes, and temporary authorization holds for hotels, cars, or card verification that later drop off or are adjusted.

If you’re unsure about a Navan charge, first log into your Navan account (or your company’s travel/expense portal) to review your recent trips, hotel folios, and card transactions; each booking will show dates, suppliers, and final amounts. Compare the statement date and amount with your trip confirmation emails or in-app receipts. For unresolved questions, use Navan’s 24/7 in-app chat or phone support, or contact your company’s travel/expense administrator, who can access detailed invoices and resolve billing discrepancies. For refunds, cancellations, or no-show fees, Navan generally follows the airline/hotel/car provider’s policies, so it may take several business days for adjustments to appear on your statement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why am I seeing a charge from Navan or TripActions on my card?

A Navan (or TripActions) charge usually means travel or a business expense was booked through your company’s Navan account using your card. This could be airfare, hotel, car rental, train tickets, or another work-related purchase. Check your Navan trips and card transactions in the app or web portal, and compare them with the date and amount shown on your bank or credit card statement.

What types of amounts does Navan typically charge?

Navan charges usually match the underlying travel or expense amount, such as airline tickets (often a few hundred to several thousand dollars), hotel stays (nightly rates plus taxes/fees), or car rentals. You may also see smaller ancillary charges like baggage fees, seat upgrades, or change fees processed through Navan. Corporate subscription or service fees, if billed to a company card, typically appear as clearly labeled Navan or TripActions invoices rather than per-trip amounts.

Why do I see multiple Navan charges for a single trip?

A single business trip booked through Navan can post as several separate charges—for example, one for airfare, one for hotel, and one for car rental, each billed as the supplier finalizes the transaction. Hotels and rental car companies may also adjust amounts at check-out for taxes, parking, or incidental charges, which then post through Navan or the Navan card. Review your trip itinerary in Navan to see a breakdown of each segment and its cost.

Does Navan have subscription or recurring fees that could explain monthly charges?

Navan’s platform fees and service charges are typically contracted at the company level, not billed to individual travelers. Some businesses choose to have these monthly or per-trip service fees charged to a corporate credit card under the company’s Navan account, which can appear as a recurring Navan or TripActions charge. If you’re an employee seeing a recurring charge on your personal card, confirm with your finance or travel team that your personal card was not incorrectly used as the company billing card.

What are Navan’s trial, cancellation, and refund policies for travel bookings?

Navan itself does not usually offer consumer-style free trials; access is arranged through your employer. Refunds and cancellation terms for bookings made in Navan depend on the airline, hotel, or car provider’s fare rules and your company’s policy. If you cancel or change a trip, you may receive a refund, a credit, or pay a change fee—Navan will display these details during booking and in your trip confirmation, and any approved refund can take several business days to appear on your statement.

Why do I see a small or temporary Navan charge or hold (for example $1–$50)?

Navan or the underlying hotel/car provider may place a temporary authorization hold on your card to verify funds or cover potential incidentals. These holds can be small verification amounts (e.g., $1) or larger preauthorization amounts at hotels or rental car agencies and are usually released or adjusted after your stay or rental is completed. If a hold remains pending longer than a week, contact Navan support or your bank for an update.

How can I cancel a booking or stop future Navan charges?

To cancel a specific trip, log into Navan, open the itinerary, and use the cancellation option; the app will show any fees or credits before you confirm. To prevent future Navan travel charges on a particular card, update your payment method in your profile or work with your company’s travel/expense administrator to remove or change the card on file. Completely stopping Navan platform billing must be handled by your company’s account owner with Navan’s account management team, not by individual travelers.

How do I contact Navan about a charge, refund, or billing error?

Open the Navan app or website and use the 24/7 in-app chat or phone support option shown in your account to reach a travel or expense agent, and reference the specific trip or transaction in question. If your access to Navan is through your employer and you can’t log in, contact your company’s travel or finance department and provide a screenshot of the charge from your statement. For disputed amounts, your company admin can request documentation, initiate corrections with Navan, or advise you on filing a dispute with your card issuer if needed.
