Travel plans change—we get it. Whether it's due to a family emergency, a sudden illness, or shifting work schedules, being able to cancel or change your trip without major penalties is crucial. If you've booked through Expedia and need to cancel, you may be wondering: What exactly is Expedia’s cancellation policy?
Let’s break it down clearly and simply, with tips to make the process easier and avoid hidden surprises. If at any point you need personal help, call + １–８８８–６８９–１９２２ for immediate assistance.
Expedia acts as a middleman for many hotels, airlines, and travel providers. This means the cancellation policy depends on the provider (airline, hotel, car rental agency, etc.) you booked through. However, Expedia does provide tools to help you manage cancellations easily.
For most bookings:
Hotels: Many offer free cancellation up to 24–48 hours before check-in. You’ll see this clearly listed at the time of booking.
Flights: U.S.-based flights booked more than 7 days in advance may be cancelled within 24 hours for a full refund, per DOT regulations.
Vacation packages: Policies vary. Flights follow airline rules, while hotels and rentals have their own terms.
Car rentals and activities: Often come with flexible cancellation but check specific details before booking.
