The problem

A lack of efficient processes and hotel reservation assistance had HHS in the market for a better travel management solution.

The solution

Engine’s hotel savings, Direct Bill and Incidentals Coverage, and 24/7 Member Support team save HHS considerable time and money.

“The rates are great, and I can book 3 to 4 hotels on Engine in the time it took me to book one on the previous platform. It is a huge time savings for us.”

Inefficient Processes

Prior to finding Engine, the HHS Logistics team, led by Mandy B. and Rachel A., used a different all-in-one travel booking platform for their lodging, flights, and rental car needs.

Lack Of Assistance

Additionally, the team found it frustrating that their previous booking platform did not have a central point of contact they could reach out to for help with reservation issues or modifications. “Having someone to reach out to who knows my name and knows our company is so nice. I’m not just dealing with a ticketing system; I’m dealing with a person,” says Mandy. “It gives us those warm, fuzzy feelings to know someone is there to support us with whatever we might need.”

The Solution: Engine

In 2016, HHS began using Engine for their business lodging needs, which solved quite a few issues for the team. First, it allowed them to book lodging more quickly, including paying up-front for hotels and incidentals using Engine’s Direct Bill and Incidentals Coverage program. “The rates are great, and I can book 3 to 4 hotels on Engine in the time it took me to book one on the previous platform. It is a huge time savings for us,” said Mandy.

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.

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.

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

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. Learn more about FlexPro.
