Children on business trips lets your company book company-funded business travel for children aged 2 and over. Use this article to turn the Allow children on business trips setting on or off in Travel Settings.
Note: Children on business trips is in alpha. Steps and screens may change before the feature is generally available.
Before you start
The Allow children on business trips setting lets people take children on business trips, for example, when an employee relocates. Perk charges the bookings to the company.
Keep these points in mind:
- The setting is off by default.
- The setting applies to the whole account.
- Turning the setting on doesn't create any child profiles. You add each child on the People page afterward.
- People can add child profiles only while the setting is on.
For example, Sara is relocating for work and wants to bring her two children. Before anyone can add them, an account admin would need to turn on this setting.
Enabling the children on business trips setting
To allow child bookings on business trips, change the Allow children on business trips setting in Travel Settings:
- Go to Travel Management > Travel Settings.
- Find Allow children on business trips.
- Turn on the toggle.
Perk shows the message "Children on business trips turned on". People with permission can now add child profiles.
Disabling the children on business trips setting
To turn off child bookings on business trips, switch off the Allow children on business trips setting in Travel Settings:
- Go to Travel Management > Travel Settings.
- Find Allow children on business trips.
- Turn off the toggle.
Note: Turning the setting off doesn't archive child profiles, and confirmed bookings stay as they are. For the full list of what changes, see Understand child bookings on business trips.

After you turn on the setting, add each child and book their travel. For the steps, see Add a child and book their travel.
