In a Nutshell

The best business credit cards for travel could help you save money on your next business trip or vacation. Take a look at our picks in these categories: earning rewards, luxury, airline cards, hotel cards, drivers and cards with no annual fee.

Whether you own a business or are self-employed, you can use the rewards you earn from a business travel credit card to help cover expenses, including your next business trip.


How we picked these cards

To find the best business credit cards for travel, we started by combing through the most popular business cards on the market.

Then, we narrowed our search to the cards that emphasized travel, weeding out others tailored for businesses that prefer a credit card with cash back or a low intro APR.

That left us with a handful of business travel credit cards. From there, we asked ourselves what features matter most to business travelers and built our categories around those perks and experiences.

How to make the most of the best business credit cards for travel

Business credit cards are intended for people who own a business, but you don’t have to be the head of a giant corporation to qualify.

If you’re self-employed or a sole proprietor, you might be surprised to learn you may also be eligible for a business credit card.

If you’re thinking about applying for a business credit card, here are a few things you should keep in mind.

  • Business credit cards should only be used for business purchases — not personal expenses.
  • Business credit cards may affect both your business and personal credit.
  • Even though the card belongs to your business, you may be personally on the hook for repaying the money your company spends.
  • Unfortunately, business professionals who don’t own the company they work for may not be eligible to apply for a business credit card — it depends on your position in the company and the card issuer’s terms.
