Master Card, Visa, American Express, Diners Club or Discover are commonly accepted credit cards among hoteliers. Verify that you have funds available to cover up to the full amount of your reservation including taxes.

Some common payment methods used by hotels include:

a. A credit card is used to hold the room and is charged upon arrival.

b. A deposit of one night (or more) room + taxes is charged by the hotel upon reserving the room; remaining balance due upon arrival.

c. A full pre-payment of the entire reservation is charged upon reserving the room.

Review the hotel “Terms and Conditions” when booking your hotel reservation. This section describes hotel payment, cancellation, and any other rate requirements. This information is also included on your email confirmation itinerary.

Tip: even on pre-paid reservations, make sure present your credit card upon check-in. You hotel will still need a credit card on file for incidentals
