Will I be charged a international fee for a hotel reservation?

Q. I want to make a hotel reservation online for a hotel in Canada. Will my credit card company consider it an international transaction? A.

Can I change my hotel reservation and travel plan after I get Schengen Visa?

Q. I got my Schengen visa from Consulate of Netherlands. I find a better hotel deal and decide to change my hotel reservation for my stay in Netherlands and meanwhile visit more countries in Schengen region than I previously planned. Will that be possible and do I need to inform Consulate of Netherlands about my change. Any help will be very much appreciated. A. Do not change either your itinerary or your hotel booking without checking with the Dutch consulate first. As you can see here in the answer of another person (who is a complete expert at this kind of question. You can see here that there are warnings on the Consulate General website that checks will be made "prior and after the visa has been granted" concerning the hotel booking http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100409073611AAkDLR3 & http://www.ambafrance-uk.org/Visa-website-of-the-French.html#outil_sommaire_8 and as the same registration system applies for all Schengen countries then the same princ...

Can you tell whether or not someone checks in for a hotel reservation?

Q. If a friend is making a hotel reservation for me and my husband's honeymoon, and we decide to check into a different nicer hotel will she be able to tell? She is giving us her card, so she wouldn't be with us at check-in obviously. We will not be using her card for the other hotel. A. Hi Emily, She will know if you did not use her card....No charges of a hotel will ever show up on her statement. Since you are not going to use her card, and use your own, thank her for the gesture, but tell her that you decided on a different hotel. Maybe because it was near other things you would like to see or do, whatever. X :) Will I be charged a international fee for a hotel reservation? Q.

Hotel reservations without a credit card?

Q. I'm planning to go to Seattle in June and I'd like to make a hotel reservation but there's just one problem: I don't have a credit card! Which hotels do accept courtesy holds without a credit card? Thanks! A. Not sure ANY do. Reason being is they want to make sure you can cover any damages in the room. And why don't you have a credit card or bank Visa/MC debit card for your bank account? Too young? Hotels here will not book rooms to anyone under 21, either. How old do you have to be to make a hotel reservation in Canada? Q. Going to Windsor and I am 20.... do you need to be 21 or 19 to make a hotel reservation in Ontario Canada? A. I work for a hotel company in Banff Alberta. When checking into a hotel at least one person who is 18 must be staying in the room - and claim responsibility for anything that happens.

Can you cancel a hotel reservation through the hotel if you booked via a travel site?

Q. I recently booked a trip to New York to visit family for New Years. I included a hotel stay in my package. I am now planning on staying with a family friend therefore no longer need the hotel reservation. I looked at the site I booked with and the only way to do so is if you cancel the whole package which I don't want to do. Also, it says the hotel reservation is nonrefundable. A. If you booked through almost any travel website except the hotels website you are out of luck. Expedia, Priceline, orbit, etc. all of the travel websites are like a travel agent. You pay them, they pay the hotel. You could try to call them but I'm sure they will tell you no based on the fact it is non-refundable. When you book through any of these companies you will get a standard room type which means anything that is leftover. No preference on smoking or non or how many beds. Always try to stay away from these methods of booking rooms because you may get a better rate but you might not get what...
