Organizing a trip is thrilling, but plans don’t always go as expected. Whether due to unforeseen circumstances or a simple change of preference, knowing how to cancel or adjust your Travelocity bookings can help you avoid hassle and extra costs. Travelocity provides a flexible cancellation policy for various services, including flights, hotels, and vacation packages. However, specific terms depend on the type of reservation and the policies of the travel providers involved. Here’s a guide to Travelocity’s cancellation and refund procedures.
Travelocity allows travelers to cancel many bookings directly online. You can do this by going to the "Trips" section of your account, selecting the reservation, and clicking "Change or cancel." You’ll see the applicable policies, restrictions, and any fees before confirming the cancellation. In many cases, you’ll also receive a detailed refund summary.
However, not all bookings are eligible for online cancellation. If your trip is too close to the check-in time or marked as non-refundable, you’ll need to contact customer service. Keep in mind that hotels or other providers may still charge cancellation fees, depending on their specific rules.
To cancel a reservation, follow these steps:
For flight cancellations, head to “Manage Booking” and look for cancellation options. If the option isn’t available, you may be dealing with a non-refundable booking or a reservation too close to the departure date. In those cases, contacting Travelocity directly or reaching out to the airline might be necessary.
Cancellation fees vary depending on the provider and timing:
| Provider | Description |
| Flights | Some bookings canceled within 24 hours may qualify for a full refund. For non-refundable fares, you might receive a credit voucher instead. |
| Hotels | Canceling before the hotel's deadline typically means a full refund. Late cancellations or non-refundable rooms usually result in no refund. |
| Vacation packages | You may incur fees from the hotel, airline, or rental agency. |
| Cars and cruises | Fees depend on the specific provider’s policy. For prepaid rentals, you generally need to cancel at least six hours before pickup. |
Also, if you used OneKeyCash, cancellation fees will be deducted from that balance first.
Travelocity offers several types of refunds, depending on your booking:
Refunds are generally returned to your original payment method. If a third-party provider (like an airline or hotel) issued the charge, they will process the refund directly.
The refund process can take up to 24 hours for Travelocity to initiate. Once processed, your bank or payment service provider may take:
You’ll receive an email confirmation with refund details. You can also track your refund by clicking “Chat now” on Travelocity’s site and speaking with the Virtual Agent.
Yes, many reservations can be rebooked or exchanged depending on the provider’s policy. For flights, you may receive a travel credit if you cancel a non-refundable ticket, which can then be applied to a new booking. Just make sure to check for any fare differences or additional fees.
In cases where you booked separate tickets (for example, roundtrip flights with two one-way fares), you’ll need to cancel and rebook each segment individually — sometimes with the airline directly.
Instead of canceling, you can often modify your reservation:
Be aware that modifications may still involve fees or price differences.
If your booking is cancelled by the hotel or service provider, you’re typically entitled to a full refund. Travelocity will notify you via email and help coordinate your refund. In some cases, you may also be given alternative options for rebooking or rescheduling.
It’s important to check your credit card statement afterward to ensure you weren’t charged, especially if the hotel processed a deposit. If you notice any charges, contact the hotel directly for resolution.
If you need assistance with cancellations, refunds, or changes, you can reach Travelocity’s customer service through:
Support is available to help guide you through the cancellation process or resolve any refund issues.
Canceling or changing a reservation on Travelocity is relatively straightforward, as long as you pay attention to deadlines and booking conditions.
