Hotel Engine

Hotel Engine began as a hotel booking service for business travellers and now trades as Engine. Companies sign up without a contract and book lodging from one shared inventory. The service has since added flights, cars and spend tools.

What Engine offers

• Hotel booking — a large inventory of hotels, from chains to boutique and luxury properties.
• Wider travel booking — flights and rental cars in the same place.
• Consolidated billing — a single itemised invoice through direct billing.
• Spend control — cards that can be issued instantly with set limits.
• Reporting — views of trips and spend, with links to finance and HR systems.
• Group travel — tools to coordinate bookings for events, teams and crews.
• Support — a member support team available around the clock.
