PRIVACY POLICY
Expedia believes in protecting your privacy. Please click here to review our current Privacy Policy, which also governs your use of Expedia.com, to understand our practices: Privacy Policy. Expedia.com Privacy Policy
CORPORATE TRAVEL POLICIES
Your Company may provide Expedia with its applicable travel policies ("Corporate Travel Policies"). We will assist your Company to apply the terms and conditions of its Corporate Travel Policies when transacting business with you. If you have any questions regarding the rules and regulations of your Corporate Travel Policy, please contact your Company directly for clarification.
PREPAID HOTEL RESERVATIONS
You acknowledge that Expedia pre-negotiates certain room rates with hotel suppliers to facilitate the booking of reservations on your behalf. The room rate displayed on the Website is a combination of the pre-negotiated room rate for rooms reserved on your behalf by Expedia and the facilitation fee retained by Expedia to compensate us for our services. You authorize Expedia to book reservations for the total reservation price, which includes the room rate displayed on the Website, plus tax recovery charges, and service fees. You agree that your credit card will be charged by Expedia for the total reservation price. Upon submitting your reservation request you authorize Expedia to facilitate hotel reservations on your behalf, including making payment arrangements with hotel suppliers.
You acknowledge that Expedia does not collect taxes for remittance to applicable taxing authorities. The tax recovery charges on prepaid hotel transactions are a recovery of the estimated transaction taxes (e.g. sales and use, occupancy, room tax, excise tax, value added tax, etc) that Expedia pays to the hotel supplier in connection with your hotel reservations. The hotel suppliers invoice Expedia for tax amounts. The Hotel suppliers remit applicable taxes to the applicable taxing jurisdictions. Expedia does not act as co-vendors with the supplier with whom we book or reserve our customer's travel arrangements. Taxability and the appropriate tax rate vary greatly by location. The actual tax amounts paid by Expedia to the hotel suppliers may vary from the tax recovery charge amounts, depending upon the rates, taxability, etc. in effect at the time of the actual use of the hotel by our customers. We retain our service fees as compensation in servicing your travel reservation. Our service fees vary based on the amount and type of hotel reservation.
You may cancel or change your prepaid hotel reservation, but you will be charged the cancellation or change fee indicated in the rules and restrictions for the hotel reservation. In addition, if you do not cancel or change your reservation before the cancellation policy period applicable to the hotel you reserved, which varies by hotel (usually 24 to 72 hours) prior to your date of arrival), you will be subject to a charge of applicable nightly rates, tax recovery charges and service fees. In the event you do not show for the first night of the reservation and plan to check-in for subsequent nights in your reservation, you must confirm the reservation changes with Expedia or its subsidiary, as appropriate, no later than the date of the first night of the reservation to prevent cancellation of your reservation. You must make refund requests for no-shows or early checkouts within 60 days after checkout.
You agree to pay any cancellation or change fees that you incur. In limited cases, some hotels do not permit changes to or cancellations of reservations after they are made, as indicated in the rules and restrictions for the hotel reservation. You agree to abide by the terms and conditions imposed with respect to your prepaid hotel reservations.
TRAVEL DESTINATIONS
Although most travel, including travel to international destinations, is completed without incident, travel to certain destinations may involve greater risk than others. Expedia urges passengers to review travel prohibitions, warnings, announcements and advisories issued by the United States Government prior to booking travel to international destinations. Information on conditions in various countries and the level of risk associated with travel to particular international destinations can be found at www.state.gov, www.tsa.gov, www.dot.gov, www.faa.gov, www.cdc.gov, www.treas.gov/ofac and www.customs.gov.
