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.

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 Exchange Rates: Purchases made on our web site are transacted exclusively in United States Dollars (USD). If you make a purchase from us using a non-USD-denominated credit or debit card, please be aware that, due to the constant fluctuation in exchange rates, our charge to your card or the estimated charge amount we provide you, may differ based on the exchange rate at the time you make your reservation versus the rate at the time the charge is reflected on your credit card statement.

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.

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.
