How Do I Cancel or Change My Priceline Reservation?

Planning a trip can be stressful and it's understood that life happens. A lot. To the point where you can panic if things don't go as planned. That's one reason that Priceline makes booking a bit easier and they provide detailed information about different types of bookings and the process for making changes. Plus their customer service is available 24/7.

Taking a trip is always an exciting and fabulous event. There's even many websites that help with booking airfare, hotels and rental cars, sometimes even all three in a more affordable package. Priceline is one such website. Creating an account is free and you can more easily manage your trip in one spot. But what if you need to cancel? Or change the dates or hotel? It is possible but there are some things you need to know.

Some reservations can be canceled or changed. It depends on the airline and type of ticket you bought. Chances are is you see a cancel or change button within your reservation means that you can cancel or change it. However, deals, like Express deals, where you can only see the full itinerary after you book, are not changeable or refundable. Since there are too many types of bookings and they each have many rules to follow, it's best to select the type of booking on the left, from hotels, flights, cars, cruises and packages, and look for the information on cancellations/changes.

Read the Fine Print

Before you book, it's important to read the full disclosure for the type of flexibility offered, if at all, for your itinerary. You can also find the rules and policy with your booking by checking its status.

To check the status,

1. Go to priceline.com and log into your account.
2. Click on the Find my Trip/View my Trip option and enter the requested information.
3. You can also use the same drop-down to view, print or email your itinerary.
