Q: How do I qualify for the Double the Difference Guarantee?

A: We work hard to negotiate the lowest possible hotel rates for you. Within 48 hours of booking on Hotwire, if you find a lower price for your entire stay for an equivalent room type in the same hotel on the same dates, we'll refund you double the difference!

A few things to keep in mind when requesting a Double the Difference refund:

 •  The lower rate must be available for booking. Some sites display rates that are not actually available when you try to book.
 •  The lower rate must be available to the general public (corporate, AAA, AARP, employee, government, military and convention rates do not apply).
 •  The Guarantee is based on the pre-tax hotel rates. Taxes and booking fees do not apply and will not be adjusted.
 •  The Guarantee does not apply to future Hotwire reservations. For example, if you return to Hotwire and find a lower price on a hotel in the same area, for the same dates, with the same star rating as the hotel you previously booked, you will not be eligible for a refund on your prior booking.

For further details, please see the Terms and Conditions of our Guarantee. You may also email us with any questions regarding the Double the Difference Price Guarantee.

Q: How do I submit a Double the Difference refund request?

A:To submit a Double the Difference refund request, go to the "My Account" section. When you've logged into your account, find the hotel booking that you want to submit a request on. On the detail page for the hotel booking, click on the "Submit a Double the Difference Refund Request" link. You'll submit your refund request from this page.

If you submit a request for a Double the Difference Price Guarantee refund, you will be informed within three business days of the validity of your request. If a refund is issued, your original reservation will not be cancelled.
