When attempting to secure rooms for projects requiring overnight stays, Nationwide Turf Installation needed a wider range of hotel options in smaller, more remote towns. Since these projects can sometimes require longer-terms stays, this was a serious pain point. By switching to Engine, the team's more specialized lodging needs have been accounted for. "I like having the option to sort hotel rooms by distance from the project sites. That's helpful. I haven't had any issues in finding hotels that are close by," says Keri-Ann W., Office Coordinator at Nationwide Turf Installation.
Before joining Engine, Nationwide Turf Installation was using another platform to make team reservations, as well as booking directly with some hotels. These processed were time-consuming, over-complicated, and generally taxing on the Nationwide Turf team.
The desire to enhance cost savings, streamline processes, and earn rewards on bookings led them to make the switch to Engine.
In addition to gaining access to over 750,000 hotels, Engine's other easy-to-use features have saved Nationwide Turf Installation both time and money.
For example, being able to store traveler information reduces the number of administrative hours needed to book and communicate reservation details. "I like that Engine will store our traveler's information. I don't have to send them a code or give them any sort of credit card information. I just book and they get their confirmation. It makes things easy," says Keri-Ann.
And when it comes to saving, the team isn't just savings hours and energy - they're saving money, too. Since switching to Engine in June of 2020, Nationwide Turf Installation has saved an average of $49,953 per yeard on hotel bookings.
On top of that, Engine's in-app rewards progream, Engine Rewards, has saved the company an additional $14,709 in just one year via travel credits redeemed for hotel stays. "The rewards program is great because we can get the Engine rewards points on top of the other hotel-specific loyalty programs."

By providing great value to our hotel partners, we get great rates.

No membership fees, no contracts, and no minimum spend.
We want our members to have plenty of options when booking lodging. Our platform currently offers 800,000+ properties worldwide.
You'll find just about every hotel in the U.S. on our platform. If you don't see a specific hotel when you search, it's likely because the hotel is fully booked during your dates. In those rare cases, we'll show you nearby comparable properties with availability during your travel dates.
We’re in the business of radically simplifying trip management for everyone, and we believe great hotel rates should be accessible to everyone, too.

Individual hotel properties set their own cancellation policies, which are clearly displayed during the booking process (you’ll see whether the room is refundable, and the last date you can cancel and receive your money back). After booking, you can find cancellation policy information in the “Important Information” section of your confirmation page.
If you need to keep travel plans flexible, there are two great options available.
