reserva de la máquina.


Explanation:
la tarifa horaria cubre todos los costos directos, tales como mantenimiento, reserva de la máquina y comidas.
I think that engine reserves could be either the (standby) cost of the plane, or: the fuel reserves of the engine.
In either case "reserva de la máquina" is sufficiently ambiguous to cover both options.

Ask the client


Explanation:
You should ask the client about what exactly they mean by "engine reserves". Just as all answers proposed so far might be correct, they could all be wrong.

Good luck.
