PREPAID HOTEL RESERVATIONS

You acknowledge that AARP Travel Center powered by Expedia pre-negotiates certain room rates with hotel suppliers to facilitate the booking of reservations on your behalf. The room rate displayed on the AARP Travel Center powered by Expedia website is a combination of the pre-negotiated room rate for rooms reserved on your behalf by AARP Travel Center powered by Expedia and the facilitation fee retained by AARP Travel Center powered by Expedia to compensate us for our services. You authorize AARP Travel Center powered by 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 AARP Travel Center powered by Expedia for the total reservation price. Upon submitting your reservation request you authorize AARP Travel Center powered by Expedia to facilitate hotel reservations on your behalf, including making payment arrangements with hotel suppliers.

You acknowledge that AARP Travel Center powered by 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 AARP Travel Center powered by Expedia pays to the hotel supplier in connection with your hotel reservations. The hotel suppliers invoice AARP Travel Center powered by Expedia for tax amounts. The Hotel suppliers remit applicable taxes to the applicable taxing jurisdictions. AARP Travel Center powered by 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 AARP Travel Center powered 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 AARP Travel Center powered by 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.

The information supplied by this application is believed to be accurate, but the AARP Travel Center powered by Expedia Companies, the AARP Travel Center powered by Expedia Affiliates, and/or our respective suppliers do not warrant or guarantee such accuracy.

BANK AND CREDIT CARD FEES

Some banks and credit cards impose fees for international transactions. If you are making a booking from outside of the United States on a US credit card, your bank may convert the payment amount to your local currency and charge you a conversion fee. This means the amount listed on your credit or bank card statement may be in your local currency and therefore a different figure than the figure shown on the billing summary page for a reservation booked on the AARP Travel Center powered by Expedia. In addition, a foreign transaction fee may be assessed if the bank that issued your credit card is located outside of the United States. Booking international travel may be considered to be an international transaction by the bank or card company, since AARP Travel Center powered by Expedia may pass on your payment to an international travel supplier. The currency exchange rate and foreign transaction fee is determined solely by your bank on the day that they process the transaction. If you have any questions about these fees or the exchange rate applied to your booking, please contact your bank.
