“If you are looking to work with an organization that will save you time and money in a truly professional manner—no matter the size of your company—Engine is the only smart choice!”

Foss Demolition

The problem

Before Engine, travel booking was a major drain on time and resources for Foss Demolition. Office Manager Kim L. handled everything manually—juggling multiple third-party sites, phone calls, and unsecured payment methods to get crews where they needed to go.

‍

And when issues came up? It meant even more phone calls and delays. When running 10+ jobs a week in multiple states, time management is key. Foss needed a better way to keep their teams moving without getting bogged down by logistics.

The solution

Engine brought all the pieces together in one easy-to-use platform. Instead of wasting hours chasing hotel confirmations, payment authorizations, and receipts, Kim can now book hotels, flights, and rental cars for her teams in under 10 minutes—with secure billing, fast confirmations, and powerful search tools that take the heavy lifting off her plate.

‍

Foss taps into Engine’s dedicated Group Booking team for larger, long-term stays. With Engine handling the logistics, Foss can focus on what they do best: delivering high-quality work.

“Engine handles whatever the issue is in a professional, courteous, and expedient manner, always!”

Tearing Down Old Systems

Managing demolition projects across multiple states meant constant travel—and constant headaches. 

‍
Before Engine, Office Manager Kim L. spent hours every week juggling hotel bookings, flight reservations, and car rentals across third-party sites.. Payment security was a major concern, and fixing reservation issues meant time wasted navigating frustrating phone trees.

‍

"When you’re running projects in multiple cities at once, there’s no time for travel delays," Kim said.

Frequently asked questions

We’re glad you asked!

‍

Hotels want to reach business travelers while companies with traveling workforces want the best rates they can get.

‍

Our platform brings everyone together to radically simplify trip management and give everyone exactly what they want. By booking with Hotel Engine, you and your company will save substantially in both time and money.

By providing great value to our hotel partners, we get great rates. That means we can take a small cut of each booking — enough to cover 24/7 Member Support and continually re-invest in new technology — and still offer deals to our members that are up to 60% less than the online public travel sites. That’s why we can keep Hotel Engine free to join and use.

‍

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 750,000+ 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.

‍

That’s why Hotel Engine is free to join and use — no membership fees, no contracts, no minimum required spend, no catch.

‍

‍Click here to learn more about our pricing.

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.

‍

You can select the Flex option during the booking process. Flex allows you to cancel any reservation up until noon the day of arrival or cut a trip short mid-stay and get refunded — regardless of the hotel’s cancellation policy.
If your company signs up for FlexPro, every traveler is fully covered with our highest degree of flexibility. With an annual plan, FlexPro costs $2,000 ($167/mo) covering everyone in your company. If you want to go month-to-month, Flexpro costs $200 - again, covering everyone in your company.
