Hello and welcome!  We are glad that you are taking the time to read these terms of service (the “Terms”).

Your use of our Service is conditioned upon your acceptance of these Terms.  To book a Travel Service, you must also accept these Terms.  If you do not accept these Terms, then please do not use our Service or book a Travel Service. 

We may change these Terms at any time and your future use of our Service following changes to these Terms is subject to you accepting those updated Terms.  We recommend that you save or print a copy of these Terms.

Section 1 Rules and Restrictions

As well as these Terms, other terms and conditions provided by Travel Providers (such as an airline’s conditions of carriage, a property’s terms and conditions, or a car rental company’s rental agreement, etc.) also apply to your booking (“Rules and Restrictions”). 

To make a booking, you must accept the Rules and Restrictions of the Travel Provider that you select (such as payment of due amounts, refundability, penalties, availability restrictions and use of fares or services, etc.).   The relevant Rules and Restrictions are provided to you before you make a booking and are incorporated by reference into these Terms.   

If you violate a Travel Provider’s Rules and Restrictions, your booking may be cancelled and you may be denied access to the relevant Travel Service. You may also lose any money paid for such booking, depending on the Travel Provider's Rules and Restrictions.

In certain countries, when payment is taken at the time of booking, Expedia Travel may be the Travel Provider for the purposes of making the Travel Service available to you, including but not limited to Travel Services supplied in the European Union under Articles 28 and 306-310 of the EU Principal VAT Directive [2006/112/EC] and any equivalent domestic legislation in any country.  In such instances, the Rules and Restrictions are the terms and conditions provided by the underlying supplier (such as an airline’s conditions of carriage, a property’s terms and conditions, or a car rental company’s rental agreement, etc.).

How we order your search results

There are many travel options available through our Service and we want to make your search results as relevant as possible. At the search results page you will see our default sort order. However, you can select how to sort your results and also use filter options to prioritise results based on your chosen preferences, for example price, guest review score, or other criteria. You can learn more on how we order search results here.

Within your search results we also sometimes display travel options that are paid for commercial listings from our Travel Providers. Such travel options are clearly labelled for your information as “Ad” or similar equivalent labelling, to differentiate them from other travel options.

Redirection and third-party booking services
 
If you are redirected from our Service to a third-party booking service (such as for car rental) to make a travel booking, please bear in mind that any bookings made through such a booking service will be with the third party and not with us. We are not responsible for bookings made through third-party booking services and we have no liability to you in respect of such a booking. The terms and conditions of the third-party service provider will set out what rights you have against them and will explain their liability to you.

The terms and conditions of the third-party service provider will set out what rights you have against them and will explain their liability to you. 

Section 3 Confirming a booking

Your Booking Confirmation includes the essential elements of your booking, such as the description of the Travel Service(s) booked and the price. 

We will send your Booking Confirmation and any relevant travel documents to the email address you provide when you book. If you do not receive your Booking Confirmation within 24 hours of making your booking, please contact us.

Section 4 Payment

Price

The price of the Travel Service(s) will be as displayed on our Service, except in cases of obvious error.  

Prices for Travel Services are dynamic and can change at any time.   Price changes will not affect bookings already accepted, except in cases of obvious error. We display many Travel Services, and we try hard to ensure that the displayed price is accurate. We reserve the right to correct any pricing errors on our Service.

If there is an obvious error and you have made a booking, we will offer you the opportunity to keep your booking by paying the correct price or we will cancel your booking without penalty.   We have no obligation to make available Travel Services to you at an incorrect (lower) price even after you have been sent a Booking Confirmation, if the error should reasonably have been apparent to you.

Taxes

The prices displayed through our Service may include taxes or tax recovery charges. Such taxes or tax recovery charges may include amounts associated with value-added tax, goods and services tax, sales tax, occupancy tax and other taxes of a similar nature.

Taxes or tax recovery charges are generally calculated or estimated on the prices displayed through our Service before any discounts (including those funded by us), coupons and loyalty points that may be applicable to your booking, unless those discounts, coupons and loyalty points are considered as a reduction in price for the purposes of calculating or estimating taxes in the relevant jurisdiction for the booking. 

In certain jurisdictions, you may be responsible for paying local taxes imposed by local tax authorities (such as city taxes or tourist taxes, etc.). Our Group of Companies or the Travel Provider may charge you such local taxes. Our Group of Companies will notify you of any local taxes that will be payable by you before you complete your booking, where such taxes have been notified to our Group of Companies by the Travel Provider.
 
The amount of local taxes can change between the booking date and stay date. If taxes have changed by your stay date, you may be liable to pay taxes at the higher rate.
 

Payment processing

For certain Travel Services, such as a Package (as defined in Section 6 (Packages)Section 6.G (Packages), payment may be charged by more than one party (as will be shown on your payment method statement), however the total amount charged will not exceed the total price of all the Travel Services.

 

When payment is taken at the time of your booking and paid for in the local currency of our Service (as relevant), the company taking that payment (via third-party payment processors) and charging your payment method will be Travel Partner Exchange Singapore Pte. Ltd.  

Notwithstanding the governing law and jurisdiction paragraph in Section 12 (General) of these Terms, where one of our companies takes your payment (via third-party payment processors) and charges your payment method, the law governing that payment transaction will be the laws of the location of such company. 

Our Privacy Statement provides information on how we use your payment and account information when you elect for us to store a credit or debit card or other payment method for future use.

Payment verification

You authorize the relevant company (as set out in the “Payment processing” paragraph above) or the Travel Provider to:

(i) verify your payment method by obtaining a pre-authorisation, charging a nominal fee or through other verification means, and

(ii) on verification, charge your payment method.

Fees charged by banks

Some banks and card issuers impose fees for international or cross-border transactions.  For example, if you make a booking using a card issued in a different country from the Travel Provider’s location or you choose to transact in a currency that is different from the local currency of our Service, your card issuer may charge you an international or cross-border transaction fee.

Also, some banks and card issuers impose fees for currency conversion. For example, if you make a booking in a currency different to the currency of your credit card, your card issuer may convert the booking amount to the currency of your credit card and charge you a conversion fee.

If you have any questions about these fees or the exchange rate applied to your booking, please contact your bank or card issuer.  Our Group of Companies is not associated or responsible for any fees relating to varying exchange rates and card issuer fees.

Currency conversion

Any currency conversion rates displayed on our Service are based on public sources and current exchange rates, which may vary between the time a booking is made and the time of travel. Such rates are provided for information purposes only and, while we seek to provide information that is correct, our Group of Companies does not guarantee the accuracy of such conversion rates.

Alternative payment methods

We may partner with providers of alternative payment methods (such as consumer finance companies), to provide our travellers with alternative payment methods. Our Group of Companies does not endorse or recommend any alternative payment provider or their products or services. Our Group of Companies is not responsible for the content or the acts or omissions of any alternative payment provider. Your use of any such provider’s payment method is at your own risk and will be governed by such provider‘s terms and policies.   

Fraud

If a booking or account shows signs of fraud, abuse, association with a government-sanctioned person or entity, or other suspicious activity, we may request extra information from you.

If we reasonably conclude that a booking or account is associated with fraud or suspicious activity, we may:

• cancel any bookings associated with your name, email address or account
• close any associated accounts, and
• take legal action, including to seek to hold you liable for any loss.

Please contact us about the cancellation of a booking or closing of an account.

Section 5  Cancellation or changing a booking

Cancellation or change by you

Cancellations or changes (with respect to the travel date, destination, place where the trip starts, property or means of transport) to a booking can be made by contacting us.    

You do not have an automatic right to cancel or change a booking unless allowed by the relevant Travel Provider under their Rules and Restrictions (which are provided to you before you make a booking).

Travel Providers may charge you fees for cancelling (in full or part) or changing a booking.   Such fees will be set out in the Rules and Restrictions.   You agree to pay any charges that you incur.   Please be aware that for changes, the price of your new arrangements will be based on the applicable price at the time you ask us to make the change. This price may not be the same as when you originally booked the Travel Services.   Prices tend to increase the closer to the departure date that the change is made.  

Please read the relevant Rules and Restrictions, so you know which terms apply to your booking.   For example:

• if you book a stay at a property and you do not cancel or change your booking before the relevant cancellation policy period, you may be subject to the cancellation or change charges as shown in the relevant Rules and Restrictions
• some properties do not permit cancellations of, or changes to, bookings after they are made
• if you make a Pay Later booking and you do not show up or cancel the booking, the property may impose a no-show or cancellation charge as shown in the relevant Rules and Restrictions and you will be charged the property's no-show or cancellation charge
• if you do not show up or fail to use some or all of the Travel Services booked, refunds may only be due to you in line with the relevant Rules and Restrictions, and
• where a cancellation affects more than one person on a booking, any applicable cancellation charge will be applied in respect of each person on the cancelled booking. 

If you want to cancel or change any part of a booking and such cancellation or change is allowed by the relevant Travel Provider, then, in addition to any charges imposed by the Travel Provider, we may also charge you an administration fee.  If such an administration fee applies, it will be notified to you before you agree to proceed with the change/cancellation.

Other cancellation or change

We (and the relevant Travel Provider) may cancel your booking if full payment for the booking, or any applicable cancellation/change charge or fee relating to a booking is not received when due.

For a variety of reasons (such as a property is overbooked due to connectivity issues or a property is closed due to a hurricane, etc.), it is possible that a booking may be cancelled or changed by the Travel Provider or us.   If this happens, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you as soon as possible and offer alternative options/assistance where possible or a refund. 

You may also have rights under applicable law in these circumstances.

Refund

Any refunds will be transferred back to you to the payment method you used to make the original booking.   Such refunds will be made by the party that took your original payment.  We do not have visibility of a Travel Provider’s refund process. Our fees are not refundable unless this is stated otherwise during the booking process, or you are entitled to a refund under applicable law..

Section 6  Travel Service specific terms

This Section provides details of the terms relevant to the specific Travel Services provided by the Travel Provider. These details are not exhaustive and do not replace the relevant Rules and Restrictions, which are provided to you before you make a booking.

Each Travel Service is subject to the relevant Rules and Restrictions of the Travel Provider. Please also read this Section which will also apply to your booking as applicable. If there is any inconsistency between this Section and the relevant Rules and Restrictions, the relevant Rules and Restrictions prevail.

Stays

Our Service may provide you with the option to Pay Now or Pay Later.   Room rates (including any applicable taxes and fees) are displayed to you through our Service under the Pay Now and Pay Later payment options.   Please note that taxes and fees may vary depending on which payment option you choose. Tax rates and foreign exchange rates may change in the time between booking and your stay.

Pay Now

If you select the Pay Now payment option, the relevant company (as set out in Section 4 (Payment)) typically will charge the booking amount to your payment method on booking.

Pay Later

If you select the Pay Later payment option, the Travel Provider typically will charge your payment method in the local currency at the time of your stay or as otherwise notified to you during the booking process.

Deposit

Some Travel Providers require a payment card or cash deposit at check-in to cover extra expenses incurred during your stay. Such deposit is not related to any payment received by the relevant company (as set out in Section 4 (Payment)) for your booking.

First night no-show

If you do not show for the first night of your stay booking, but plan to check in for the subsequent nights, please confirm this with us before the original check-in date.   If you do not confirm this, then your whole booking may be cancelled.   Refunds for no-shows will only be due to you in line with the relevant Rules and Restrictions of the property.

Group bookings

You may not book more than 8 rooms through our Service for the same property for the same stay dates.   If you book more than 8 rooms in separate bookings, we may cancel your bookings. We may also charge you a reasonable cancellation fee. If you paid a non-refundable deposit, such deposit may also be forfeited, except if you are entitled to a refund or other remedy under applicable law.    If you want to book more than 8 rooms then please contact us.  You may be asked to sign a written contract or pay a non-refundable deposit, subject to any refund to which you may be entitled under applicable law.   

Ratings

Ratings shown through our Service indicate what you might expect from properties displaying that rating level, including (where applicable) through local and national star rating organizations.  These may differ from standards in your own country. Site displayed ratings do not represent or promise any particular feature or amenity. Additional information is available in the “Overview” or “Amenities” section of the property details page. These guidelines are subject to change, and our Group of Companies and our Partners cannot guarantee the accuracy of any specific rating displayed from time to time through our Service. 

Meals

If meals are part of your stay booking, the number of meals included depends on the number of nights of your stay. Full board normally includes breakfast, lunch and dinner. Half board normally includes breakfast and either lunch or dinner.  No refunds will be available if one or more meals are not consumed.

Vrbo Holiday Rentals

When you book a holiday rental property distributed through our Service from Vrbo or one of the Vrbo brands (Stayz, Bookabach, FeWo Direkt and Abritel), referred to as a “Vrbo Holiday Rental”, these Terms apply to your use of our Service, but the Vrbo terms and conditions we present to you during the booking process apply to your payment and booking of the Vrbo Holiday Rental.

Flights

If you pay our Group of Companies (which is received on behalf of the Travel Provider) for a standalone flight booking, we will act as agent of such Travel Provider. Your contract for the flight is between you and the relevant Travel Provider.

The price and availability of your flight is only guaranteed once your purchase of the Travel Service is completed and your tickets issued.   

Low-cost flights

For certain flights, the price displayed may have been converted from another currency.    This is for convenience purposes to provide you an estimated price in your local currency. The actual amount charged by the airline may differ due to varying exchange rates applied by banks and card issuing companies, however you will be provided with the amount proposed to be charged by the airline before completing the booking.    Please see Section 4 (Payment) for information on fees that may be charged by banks and card issuers.

Site redirection

Sometimes you may be redirected from our Service to the airline's website to complete your booking and pay. Your contract for any such booking is with the relevant airline Travel Provider. Our Group of Companies is not associated with, or liable in respect of, any such bookings.

Flight terms and conditions

You understand and agree that:

• airlines ultimately control their schedules, and they may change or cancel your flight for a variety of reasons (for example, mechanical problems or adverse weather, etc.). Whenever the airline gives us information about a change or cancellation to your itinerary, we will pass it on to you and help you assess your options.   You should always check the scheduled departure time of your flight before travel
• airlines control seating and we do not guarantee the availability of specific seats, even when pre-booked
• if you book a return roundtrip flight and do not use the outward flight, the airline may cancel the return flight without refund
• for special or charter flights, the airline, the flight schedule, the aircraft type, the itinerary and possible stops are given as an indication only.   These specifics may be subject to change even after confirmation - please check the relevant Rules and Restrictions before booking
• some airlines impose extra charges for meals, luggage and preferred seat selection, etc. Unless we provide such optional services for booking through our Service then any reference about these extra optional services and related charges shown through our Service is for information only and may be updated by airlines at any time. Where we provide the option for you to book such extras through our Service, then the price of such optional extras will be displayed to you and after selection by you, added to your price
• you must follow the relevant Rules and Restrictions on the carriage of children.   Children older than 2 on the return date must have a return ticket at a child fare for both the outbound and inbound flights. You will not be eligible for a refund of any seat charges incurred during travel if you do not comply. Children aged under 2 will not be allocated their own seat unless a child fare is booked for them. Unaccompanied children under 14 will only be allowed to fly in line with the relevant Rules and Restrictions
• the carriage of hazardous materials aboard aircraft in your luggage or on you is generally forbidden.

Combined one-way tickets

We may offer you the opportunity to book two one-way tickets instead of a roundtrip ticket. Combined one-way tickets may provide a greater choice of flights. They are often cheaper and can be combined on the same airline or on different airlines.

Unlike roundtrip tickets, each one-way ticket is subject to its own Rules and Restrictions. If one of these flights is affected by an airline change (such as cancellation or rescheduling), then you may have to make changes to the other flight. In such instances you will be responsible for any charges or fees incurred for making changes to the unaffected flight. We will inform you of this if you are booking one-way tickets instead of a return ticket, so that you can consider whether to book these types of tickets.

Air miles and vouchers

Air miles and vouchers from loyalty programmes may not be used when booking flights through our Service.

Operating airlines

Flights booked with one airline are sometimes operated by another airline. When different, details of the operating airline are shown through our Service. The airline that issues your ticket will charge you for your flight and will appear on your payment method statement.

No-show or cancellation

In case of a no-show or cancellation, you may be entitled to a refund of airport taxes and fees included in the price of the flight purchased. In this instance, you can request such a refund from us, and we will submit your request to the airline on your behalf.

Airline liability

Law, treaties and the airline's own Rules and Restrictions normally limit an airline's liability for death, personal injury and other damages. 

Cars

Payment

For certain bookings, payment for your car rental booking may be charged by the Travel Provider, not our Group of Companies.

When you collect your rental car, you/the driver must present your/their valid credit card. You must check with the Travel Provider which credit cards they accept. Debit cards are not accepted. The Travel Provider may submit an authorization request to your credit card issuer during the rental period by way of a deposit. You/the driver should ensure you have a sufficient credit limit for this purpose. Some larger car types may require two credit cards.

If you do not follow the above rules, the Travel Provider may not make the vehicle available to you and you may, subject to the Rules and Restrictions, be required to pay an amount up to the full price of car rental Travel Services.

Supplements

Extra charges may be payable by you locally to the Travel Provider. For example, these charges may cover refuelling, snow tires, additional driver charges, young driver surcharges, child seats and delivery and collection fees, etc.  We and the Travel Provider are not responsible for paying such extra charges. 

 An insurance excess amount may be applicable in the event of theft of, or damage to, the rental car and payable by you to the Travel Provider. This will vary depending on the Travel Provider and rental country. Purchase of optional extra insurance coverage by you locally can remove/reduce the applicable excess.  We and the Travel Provider are not responsible for any excess payable or the provision of extra insurance coverage.

Fuel is not usually included in the rental price. In some countries, some Travel Providers may charge you for refuelling when the vehicle is returned. Unless agreed otherwise, you must return the rental car to the same branch of the Travel Provider from which it was collected. 

Collection and use of rental cars

Drivers must usually be aged between 21 and 75, although this can vary depending on the relevant Travel Provider and rental country.  You are responsible for checking this with the Travel Provider. Extra charges may apply if a driver is aged below 25 or over 70.  

When you collect your rental car, you/the driver must present your/their full valid driving license for the category of vehicle rented. International rentals may have different driving license requirements.  Please check what exact documentation is required by the Travel Provider.  For example, if the drivers' license is not in the Roman alphabet, an international driving license is required. Extra documentation, such as a passport or up to two forms of proof of name and address, may also be required.

Typically, you will not be permitted to take your rental car outside of the rental country and additional restrictions may apply. 

Cancellation of bookings and unused rental days

No refunds will be offered on bookings cancelled within 6 hours of collection time or for any unused rental days.

Activities

Some Travel Providers offering activities may require you to sign their liability waiver prior to participating in the Travel Service they offer.

Activity Travel Services are not usually transferable nor eligible for refunds or changes unless the Travel Provider cancels such Travel Services.

Packages

We provide the opportunity for you to book separate Travel Services together at the same time through our Service (for example, a stay booking and a flight booking) but each Travel Service is subject to its own Rules and Restrictions and these Terms (such a combined booking is a “Package”). 

Section 7 International Travel

International travel

Although most travel occurs without incident, travel to certain destinations may involve more risk than others. You must review any travel warnings/advice, etc. issued by the relevant governments before you book international travel. You should also monitor such travel warnings/advice during travel and before your return journey to help avoid and minimise any potential disruptions. 

Health

You should check the recommended inoculations/vaccinations which may change at any time. You should consult your doctor before you depart. You are responsible for ensuring you:

• meet all health entry requirements
• receive the relevant/required inoculations/vaccinations
• take all recommended medication, and
• follow all medical advice in relation to your travel.

Passport and visa

You must consult the relevant Embassy or Consulate for passport and visa information. Requirements may change so check for up-to-date information before booking and departure and allow sufficient time for all relevant applications.

Our Group of Companies is not liable if you are refused entry onto a flight or cruise ship (if applicable) or into any country, due to your conduct, including your failure to carry the correct and adequate travel documents required by any Travel Provider, authority or country (including countries you are transiting through).   This includes all stops made by an aircraft or a cruise ship (if applicable), even if you do not leave the aircraft or airport or cruise ship.

Some governments require airlines to provide personal information about all travelers on their aircraft. The data will be collected either at the airport when you check in or in some circumstances when you make your booking. Please contact the relevant airline you are travelling with if you have any questions about this.

Our Group of Companies does not represent or warrant that travel to international destinations is advisable or without risk and is not liable for damages or losses that may result from travel to such destinations.

Section 8 Liability

Our liability

We own and operate our Service and the Travel Providers provide the Travel Services to you.

To the maximum extent permitted by law our Group of Companies and our Partners will not be liable for:

• any such Travel Services that the Travel Providers make available to you
• for the acts, errors, omissions, representations, warranties or negligence of any such Travel Providers, or
• for any personal injuries, death, property damage or other damages or expenses resulting from the above.

The Travel Providers provide us with information describing the Travel Services.   This information includes Travel Service details, photos, rates and the relevant Rules and Restrictions, etc.  We display this information through our Service.  The Travel Providers are responsible for ensuring that such information is accurate, complete and up to date.  Our Group of Companies and our Partners will not be liable for any inaccuracies in such information (and this also includes property ratings which are intended as guidance only and may not be an official rating), save to the extent that such inaccuracies are caused by our negligence or wilful misconduct.  Our Group of Companies and our Partners do not, to the extent permitted by law, make guarantees about the availability of specific Travel Services. 

Photos and illustrations on our Service are provided as a guide to show you the level and type of accommodation only.

Subject always to your rights at law, and except as expressly set out in these Terms:

  • all information, software, or Travel Services displayed through our Service are provided without any warranty or condition of any kind, and
  • our Group of Companies and our Partners disclaim all such warranties and conditions.

 

The display of Travel Services through our Service is not an endorsement or recommendation of such Travel Services by our Group of Companies or our Partners.  Our Group of Companies and our Partners disclaim, to the maximum extent permitted by law, all warranties and conditions that our Service, its servers or any email sent from us or our Partners are free of viruses or other harmful components.  

Subject to the limitations in these Terms and the applicable law, neither our Group of Companies nor our Partners will be liable for any direct, indirect, punitive, special, incidental or consequential losses or damages arising from:

• the Travel Services
• the use of our Service
• any delay or inability to use our Service, or
• the use of links from our Service,

whether based in negligence, contract, tort, strict liability, consumer protection statutes, or otherwise, and even if the relevant person has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

If our Group of Companies or our Partners are found liable for any loss or damage under these Terms, then, to the maximum extent permitted by law, we shall only be liable to you for direct damages that were:

• reasonably foreseeable by both you and us (or our Partners as applicable)
• actually suffered or incurred by you, and
• directly attributable to our actions or negligence (or the actions or negligence of our Partners as applicable),

and in the event of any liability of our Group of Companies and/or our Partners, such liability will in no event exceed, in total, the greater of (a) the cost paid by you for the Travel Services in question or (b) one-hundred dollars (US$100.00) or the equivalent in local currency.

This limitation of liability reflects the allocation of risk between you and us. The limitations specified in this Section will survive and apply even if any limited remedy specified in these Terms is found to have failed its essential purpose. The limitations of liability provided in these Terms inure to the benefit of our Group of Companies and our Partners.  

Every instance of force majeure, including the interruption of means of communication or a strike (by airlines, properties or air traffic controllers, as applicable), will lead to the suspension of the obligations in these Terms that are affected by the force majeure event.  In such a case the party affected by the force majeure event will not be liable as a result of the inability to meet such obligations.

Indemnity

You agree to defend and indemnify our Group of Companies and our Partners and any of their officers, directors, employees and agents from and against any claims, causes of action, demands, recoveries, losses, damages, fines, penalties or other costs or expenses of any kind or nature (“Losses”), including but not limited to, reasonable legal and accounting fees, brought by third parties as a result of:
