Frequently asked questions

What types of hotels are available in Charleston for business travel?
Charleston offers a range of hotels for work trips, from standard rooms for short stays to extended-stay properties and apartment-style options when you need more space or a longer booking. Extended-stay and apartment-style hotels often include kitchens and separate living areas, which can be useful for week-long projects or temporary assignments. Engine lists options across the city to match the length and style of your trip.
How does billing work when booking hotels in Charleston through Engine?
Engine provides consolidated invoicing, so you can see all your travel expenses in one place instead of tracking individual receipts. You can choose from multiple payment options to fit your company's process. There's no membership fee to use the platform.
What should I look for when choosing a hotel in Charleston for a work trip?
Start with the location of your meetings or job sites, then consider practical details like parking, workspace in the room, and reliable WiFi. If you're visiting clients or offices around the city, a hotel with easy access to main roads can save time. For early flights, staying near the airport serving Charleston can make travel days smoother.
How far in advance should I book a hotel in Charleston, and what if my plans change?
Booking a few weeks ahead usually gives you a good selection of hotels and rates, though last-minute options are available when plans shift quickly. Most hotels allow changes or cancellations with reasonable notice, but policies vary by property and rate. Check the terms when you book so you know your flexibility if a meeting gets moved or a project timeline changes.
What's the best way to get around Charleston for work, and should I stay near the airport?
A rental car is often the most practical choice for work travel in Charleston, especially if you're visiting multiple sites or offices around the area. Rideshare services are available, but having your own car gives you more control over your schedule. Staying near the airport serving Charleston makes sense for quick trips or early departures, while hotels closer to downtown or the peninsula work well if most of your meetings are in those areas.
