Is Expedia actually fully refundable?

Whether Expedia bookings are fully refundable depends entirely on the type of travel service you booked and the cancellation policies set by the airline, hotel, car rental agency, or tour provider. Expedia itself does not dictate refund policies but acts as a third-party platform connecting you with travel providers. Some bookings may be fully refundable, while others may include fees, or be non-refundable altogether. If you’re unsure about your booking, you can always speak directly to an agent by calling +1-833-341-8536.

1. Hotel Bookings
Many hotel bookings made through Expedia are fully refundable, but only if canceled within the designated time frame. Hotels generally offer free cancellation up to 24 or 48 hours before check-in. However, some discounted or special-rate bookings may be non-refundable. Expedia clearly displays the refund policy on the booking page and in your confirmation email.

To check if your hotel reservation is refundable:

Log into your Expedia account

Go to “My Trips”

Click on your hotel reservation and view the cancellation policy

If you cancel within the allowed window, a full refund is typically issued to your original payment method. If you cancel too late, you may forfeit some or all of the booking amount.

For help verifying or processing a hotel refund, contact Expedia at +1-833-341-8536.

2. Flights
Flight refunds depend on the airline’s policy and the fare type you selected. Expedia supports 24-hour risk-free cancellations for most flights, meaning you can cancel for a full refund within 24 hours of booking—provided the flight is at least seven days away.

After that period, most economy fares are non-refundable, although many airlines allow cancellations for flight credits that can be used later. Refundable fares tend to cost more but offer peace of mind if your plans may change.

If you’re not sure whether your flight is refundable, call Expedia at +1-833-341-8536 and speak with a travel expert who can review your itinerary.

3. Vacation Packages & Bundles
Expedia vacation packages that bundle flights, hotels, and car rentals follow the individual refund rules of each component:

Hotels may be fully refundable

Flights usually follow airline refund policies

Car rentals are often flexible if canceled in advance

This means some parts of your package may be refundable while others are not. Expedia does not guarantee full refunds on packages unless every item in the package qualifies.

4. Activities, Tours, and Car Rentals
Activities and tours often offer free cancellation up to 24–48 hours before the event. Car rentals also typically allow cancellation without fees, depending on the provider. As with other services, details are listed under “My Trips” in your Expedia account.
