    Scroll down to view more detailed information, such as the property’s cleaning and safety procedures and special check-in instructions. The latter is essential if the property does not have a 24-hour front desk, please carefully review the special check-in instructions and ensure the traveler is fully aware of them and can comply.Hotel_details.png

     

  4. Choose room type

    Choose the room type based on the traveler's preferences such as price and bed type, then click "Reserve"

  5. Select payment type

    Some properties give you the choice of payment options:

    • Choose "Pay now" to pay in your local currency. Expedia TAAP is the merchant of record.

    • Or "Pay at property" where the property will collect the payment in their local currency.mceclip8.png

  6.  Checkout

    You’re at the last step! Make sure you're still logged in so that the booking is tracked (you should be signed in with your Expedia TAAP email address and see the black Expedia TAAP banner at the top of the page). Enter your traveler’s contact information, select who the credit card for payment belongs to and enter the card details. Then do a final review of the cancellation policy and click "complete booking" — et voila!
