If you find a lower rate published online within 24 hours of your booking through Travelzoo and comply with all of the following terms and conditions, we will match the rate or refund the difference to you. The Best Rate Guarantee applies to the room rate only and does not include any charges for taxes, service fees or any other charges a hotel may charge (e.g., resort charges, parking). You can submit a claim by contacting Customer Service within the 24-hour deadline.
Following submission of a claim, Travelzoo Customer Service will contact you shortly thereafter via e-mail or phone. If we are unable to replicate the lower rate, we may request additional information and documentation (such as a screen shot of the lower, published online rate) from you in order to verify the lower online rate. Please keep a copy of all such documentation. The lower rate must be available for booking and visible on the other website at the time you contact us, as determined by our Customer Service team. Once we have received a complete and accurate claim form and Customer Service has verified your claim, we will notify you by email and match the rate or refund you the difference after you have completed your stay.
In order to be eligible for our Best Rate Guarantee the following conditions must be met:
The Best Rate Guarantee applies to rates available on the World Wide Web and does not include rates available through other reservation channels. The Best Rate Guarantee is not available for reservations on websites or applications where the name or location of the hotel or other reservation details is unknown until after you purchase or where you name your own price. The Best Rate Guarantee applies only to rates both advertised online and available to the general public. For example, the Best Rate Guarantee will not apply to negotiated rates (e.g., corporate discount rates, group rates, meeting rates or convention rates), special discounted rates to organizations or members (e.g., AARP, AAA, employee, seniors, military, government, travel agents) or other rates not available to the general public. The Best Rate Guarantee also does not apply to hotel rooms purchased through or in combination with a membership program, frequent stay, loyalty, points or other "reward" type programs or rooms purchased through coupon promotions, travel vouchers, promotion codes or won through contests or sweepstakes. The lower rate cannot be in any way connected to a packaged deal (such as rates that include a combination of a room and airfare or car rental) or involve the use of a coupon or other promotion not offered or advertised to the general public. The lower rate may not come from a website where you call to get the rate or from an email that you received. Travelzoo may deny claims where the difference between the rates is less than one percent of the room rate. Additional restrictions may apply.
Travelzoo reserves the right to determine in its sole discretion whether a claim qualifies for the Best Rate Guarantee. Travelzoo is the final authority on interpretation of these rules and all requests are subject to verification by our Customer Service. We will not accept screenshots or other purported evidence of a lower price that we cannot independently confirm. Nor will we verify any request that we believe, in our sole discretion, is the result of a printing or any other type of error or is made fraudulently or in bad faith. We may also deny claims where we determine that the difference between the rates is due to exchange rate fluctuations. Travelzoo will not be liable for the payment of any claims under the Best Rate Guarantee with respect to rates loaded in error by Travelzoo or the hotel or from any printing, typographical, administrative or technological errors relating to rates backed by the Best Rate Guarantee.
Travelzoo has the right to deny any claims that cannot be independently verified at the time it processes the claim, or for which incomplete information has been provided. A Best Rate Guarantee reward will only be provided if the individual making the valid claim stays in the reserved hotel room. Only one refund per qualifying purchase will be allowed. Travelzoo reserves the right in its sole discretion to modify, terminate or discontinue the Best Rate Guarantee or to restrict its availability to any person, at any time, for any or no reason whatsoever, and without prior notice to you. Void where prohibited by law.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Travelzoo and the Covered Parties (defined below) from and against any claims, causes of action, demands, losses, fines, penalties, damages or other costs or expenses of any kind or nature (including attorneys’ fees, expert fees and accounting fees) made or incurred or brought by any third party arising out of or relating to (i) your conduct, (ii) your use of this Site, (iii) your breach of this Agreement or the documents referenced herein, or (iv) your violation of any law or the rights of a third party.

By using this Site, you agree that any and all disputes, claims or controversies that you may have against Travelzoo or any of the Covered Parties (defined above) arising out of or relating to or connected in any way to (i) your use of this Site (ii) any services obtained from or provided by Travelzoo or (iii) this Agreement (including the interpretation and scope of this clause and the arbitrability of the dispute), shall be resolved exclusively by mandatory, binding arbitration initiated through and administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). You further agree that arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the applicable Rules and Procedures established by AAA, and that any arbitration proceeding, if necessary, will be held in New York, New York or at such other location as may be mutually agreed upon by Travelzoo and you. Arbitration will be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and not any state arbitration law. The arbitrator shall apply New York law consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act, and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law. In order to initiate arbitration with the AAA, you may be responsible for paying a filing fee to the AAA, however, in the event you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Travelzoo will reimburse as much of your filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. There will be no right or authority for any claims to be arbitrated on a class action or representative basis. You understand and agree that, by accepting these terms and conditions, you and Travelzoo (and any Covered Party) are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action with respect to the claims covered by this mandatory arbitration provision.

All claims you bring against Travelzoo must be resolved in accordance with this arbitration provision. All claims filed or brought by you contrary to this provision will be considered improperly filed and void. Should you file a claim contrary to this arbitration provision, Travelzoo will notify you in writing of the improperly filed claim, and you must promptly withdraw the claim. If you fail to promptly withdraw the claim after receiving written notice from Travelzoo, Travelzoo may recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred to enforce this arbitration provision.
If any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the Rules and Procedures established by AAA, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision was not contained herein.
