At Perk, we believe that the best way to reduce the environmental impact of business travel isn't just to talk about it—it’s to make the sustainable choice the easiest one to book.
While aviation often dominates the conversation around corporate travel, the railway is undergoing a massive digital transformation. We are proud to be at the forefront of this shift. We’re rolling out a series of major rail expansions and tech integrations designed to give you more variety, better prices, and a significantly smaller carbon footprint.
Here’s how we’re putting your travel strategy on the right track.
1. Expanding the Network: Ouigo Spain & Trenitalia
We are thrilled to announce that Ouigo Spain is now live on the Perk platform! As high-speed rail becomes increasingly competitive in Spain, our users can now access Ouigo’s eco-friendly, low-cost high-speed lines between cities like Madrid, Barcelona, and Valencia. This means that all long-distance rail inventory in Spain is now available through Perk.
But we aren’t stopping there. We are currently working on an integration with Trenitalia. Soon, navigating the Italian peninsula via the iconic Frecciarossa will be as seamless as booking a flight, giving you premium, high-speed alternatives to short-haul air travel.
Perk users can now access travel across 45 unique rail carriers!
2. Smarter Savings in the UK: SilverRail & Split Ticketing
The UK rail market can be complex, but we’re making it more affordable. Through our new partnership with SilverRail, we are introducing advanced split ticketing options.
By intelligently breaking down a long journey into multiple smaller tickets, we can significantly lower the cost of rail travel. When the train is cheaper and easier to book, the decision to skip the airport becomes a "no-brainer."
3. Strengthening the Backbone: DB Business Partnership
Germany is the heart of European rail, and our partnership with Deutsche Bahn (DB) Business ensures that corporate travelers have full access to one of the most sophisticated networks in the world. From ICE high-speed lines to regional connections, Perk users benefit from integrated corporate rates and a streamlined booking experience across the DACH region.
4. Effortless Updates: Automated Trip Management
One of the biggest hurdles to choosing rail has historically been the difficulty of changing plans. We’ve fixed that. Through our "Manage Trip" feature, we have completely streamlined train changes in France, Spain, and Italy, as well as for Eurostar journeys.
No more phone queues.
No manual emails.
Instant updates to your itinerary, right when you need them.
Why This Matters for the Planet
Choosing rail isn't just a logistical preference; it’s a powerful sustainability statement. On average, taking a train emits up to 90% less CO2 than an equivalent short-haul flight.
By integrating these diverse providers and automating the "messy" parts of rail travel (like split ticketing and modifications), we are removing the friction that usually pushes travelers toward flights.
The Perk Vision: A world where your "Green Trip" isn't a compromise—it's the fastest, cheapest, and most comfortable way to get the job done.
"Sustainability is no longer a 'nice-to-have' in corporate travel; it's a requirement. By expanding our rail inventory and making the booking process invisible, we're helping our customers meet their ESG goals one journey at a time."
