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.
You agree that any materials, including but not limited to questions, comments, ratings or reviews, suggestions, ideas, plans, notes, drawings, original or creative materials or other information, provided by you in the form of email or submissions to Travelzoo, or postings on the Site or Travelzoo’s social sites (such as its Facebook and Twitter accounts) (collectively, "Submissions"), are nonconfidential and shall become the sole property of Travelzoo.

You are responsible for ensuring that you meet foreign entry requirements and that your travel documents, such as passports and visas (transit, business, tourist, and otherwise), are in order and any other foreign entry requirements are met.

Travelzoo shall not be liable for damages or losses that may result from travel to such destinations. Travelzoo urges passengers to review travel prohibitions, warnings, announcements and advisories issued by the United States Government and the aviation administration prior to booking travel to international destinations. Information on conditions in various countries and the level of risk associated with travel to particular international destinations can be found at www.state.gov, www.tsa.gov, www.dot.gov, www.faa.gov, www.cdc.gov, www.treas.gov/ofac and www.customs.gov.
BY OFFERING TRAVEL SERVICES TO PARTICULAR INTERNATIONAL DESTINATIONS, TRAVELZOO DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT TRAVEL TO SUCH POINTS IS ADVISABLE OR WITHOUT RISK AND IS NOT LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OR LOSSES THAT MAY RESULT FROM TRAVEL TO SUCH DESTINATIONS.
To the extent permitted by law, this Agreement and the provision of our services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with New York law (without giving effect to any conflict of law principles).
If you have a Dispute (as defined below) with us that cannot be resolved informally or in small claims court, you will NOT have the right to pursue a claim in court or have a jury decide the claim, and you will NOT have the right to bring or participate in any class action or similar proceeding in court or in arbitration. BY USING OR INTERACTING WITH THIS SITE OR USING ANY OF THE SERVICES OR PRODUCTS OFFERED BY TRAVELZOO, YOU AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
“Dispute” means any complaint, dispute, or disagreement you may have against us, and any claim that we may have against you, whether based on past, present, or future events, arising out of or related in any way to the Agreement or regarding (i) your use of or interaction with the services and products offered by Travelzoo, (ii) any purchases or other transactions or relationships related to your use of services and products offered by Travelzoo, or (iii) any data or information you provide to us or we gather in connection with such use, interaction or transaction (collectively, "Travelzoo Transactions or Relationships").
Many Disputes can be resolved by an informal dialogue with our customer service staff. If you have a Dispute with us, before initiating an arbitration, you must send an individualized, written notice describing the Dispute to Travelzoo customer support. Promptly following receipt of such notice, you and we will try to resolve the Dispute by email exchange or telephone or videoconference. If the Dispute is not resolved within 30 days of starting this dialogue, then either you or we may initiate an action in a small claims court that has jurisdiction over the Dispute and is reasonably close to your place of residence or work, or initiate an arbitration as described below if the Dispute is ineligible to be adjudicated in small claims court.
Any Dispute that we are unable to resolve through the informal procedure described above and is ineligible for small claims court shall be resolved exclusively by final, binding arbitration ("Arbitration"). The Arbitrator may issue orders to protect the confidentiality of proprietary information, trade secrets or other sensitive information. Except as discussed below in clause 1 (Mass Arbitrations), the Arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator administered by JAMS or its successor ("JAMS") and conducted in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules And Procedures (or, if the amount in controversy exceeds $250,000, the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules And Procedures) in effect at the time the Arbitration is initiated (respectively, the "Applicable Rules"). The Applicable Rules can be found at www.jamsadr.com. This Section shall not prevent any party from seeking provisional remedies (that is, a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction) from a court of appropriate jurisdiction.
