What sets Engine apart is they have a virtual credit card for you, so no more credit card authorization forms. Any incidentals are caught. It's a huge cost savings for us and our travel budget.
The big thing for us is being able to easily see all of these hotels through one platform and make good choices for where I put my driver based on where they are coming from and the overall cost. Engine has become significantly easier to one-stop-shop.
It makes things so much easier now that I can include a job number on all of our reservation receipts. This way, I don’t have to dig into every receipt and add a code before it’s sent to accounting. Engine saves us at least an hour on each invoice.
We were doing everything manually- credit card authorization form, email it, handwrite it, and send it back with a copy of the credit card. I did that for every single reservation. 118 rooms on a single job. Engine...way easier. Engine is awesome.
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 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 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.
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.
