Severe Weather Event Policies
Severe Weather Event Policies In the event of a hurricane or
other severe weather event, we will work with our travel partners
to provide assistance for customers as outlined below. Airline
Tickets To request a change to your reservation in the event
of severe weather, you must contact us or the airline before
the originally scheduled departure time. Failure to do so may
cause the airline to invalidate your reservation, causing your
ticket to lose its value for future travel or refund. The ability
to make changes to an airline reservation is dependent on the
fare rules associated with your ticket(s). Any exceptions to
the fare rules are at the sole discretion of the carrier. Most
major carriers allow customers to rebook reservations affected
by severe weather within a set number of days without incurring
administrative change fees; however, if rebooking results in
a higher fare, customers are responsible for the difference
in price. If carrier exceptions are granted, we also will waive
our associated fees. Hotels/Rental Cars/Tours and Attractions
If a weather event occurs close to your travel date, we recommend
that you contact your provider directly to determine if they
are open for business and will honor your reservation. If the
provider indicates that they are not open, or for any concern
about a reservation in an area impacted by a weather event,
please contact us for assistance. Depending on the severity
of the weather event and the areas impacted, requests to change
or cancel your reservation may be granted. If a change or cancel
is allowed, we will also will waive our associated fees.

What do I need to bring to the hotel for check-in?
Checking in is easy. You will need a government-issued photo
ID (like a driver's license) and your hotel confirmation number
- located on your itinerary. To print your itinerary just go
to the "My Reservations" section of our website and
select "Hotels." Most hotels require a credit card
at check-in. If you do not have a credit card some properties
may allow you to leave a cash deposit for incidentals. If you
plan to leave a cash deposit, please call the hotel that holds
your reservation to determine if this is possible and the amount
required.

What if I have a problem with my charges?
Charges for any incidental services you use while at the hotel
(parking, resort fees, phone calls, room service, etc.) are
payable directly to the hotel - normally at check-out. If you
have questions or issues with charges that appear on your itinerary/invoice,
you can send an email to our Customer Service Department. We'll
research the issue and get an explanation to you in 3 business
days or less. Questions about incidental charges must be directed
to the hotel where you stayed. Important Information Regarding

What if I suspect unauthorized charges on my credit card?
In the unlikely event that an unauthorized use of your credit
card occurs, immediately notify your credit card issuer. The
appropriate 800 number is usually located on the back of the
card. It is critical that you contact your credit card issuer
directly; they will explain the specific steps required to
report suspected fraud, which generally include signing an
affidavit attesting to the unauthorized charges and/or canceling
the credit card in question. Your credit card issuer is also
responsible for initiating the process to validate and refund
or reverse the unauthorized charges on your credit card. Most
credit card companies either cover all charges that result
from unauthorized use of your credit card or limit your liability
to $50.00 - the maximum liability allowed under the Fair Credit
Billing Act.
Back to top
What if my travel plans change?
We can't make changes to your reservation once they have been
confirmed. If you are going to be delayed or find that you
cannot check in to your hotel on the date you requested, you
should contact the hotel to let them know. If you don't check
in to the hotel on the first day of your reservation and do
not alert the hotel the remaining portion of your reservation
will be canceled and you will not be entitled to a refund.
Calling the hotel to make them aware of the delay will help
to secure your room. When booking your reservation, be sure
to review the information provided on restrictions to your
booking.
