Why Dont You Sell Your Hotel Booking?

Do you have a non-refundable hotel reservation booked, that you can no longer use and would like to find a way of clawing back some of your currently wasted cash? Well, planschange.com may be the solution to your problem…

Many people book hotels as non-refundable bookings, because they are the cheapest options on offer at the time of booking. The more flexible options are often significantly more expensive and who really books a hotel and thinks they are likely to not use the booking? Well, you might be surprised to know that up to 20% of hotel bookings are actually not used! Life is complicated and peoples plans change more often than you might realise.

But don’t despair if your booking is not refundable, we have listed below a few options on ways to cancel your hotel room and get a refund. 

If your reservation is non-refundable, you still have options

If  you have a travel insurance, you may be able to claim the cost back through your policy. Your insurer will have specific policies regards the potential to claim, so read the policy wording and see if your circumstances fit their criteria. 

Some hotel chains will allow you to transfer the date of the booking. So, if you cannot use the reservation you currently have, it may be possible to contact the hotel directly and see if they will transfer the reservation to more convenient dates. 

Alternatively, you could contact the hotel directly, explain your situation and ask whether they might be able to give you a voucher or credit, to use in the future. This isn’t a common practice, but some hotels offer more flexibility than others.

You may have a friend or family member you can ‘donate’ the reservation to, rather than let it go to waste?

Write the off money you spent on the reservation and let it go to waste.
