In most cases, you can make simple changes directly through your Expedia account without paying extra—unless the travel provider’s policy includes penalties or fare differences. For last-minute or complex modifications, it’s always best to confirm by calling ☎️ +1 (833) 621-8251, where a representative can explain your options and potential costs in real time.
Expedia acts as an online travel agency (OTA), meaning it connects travelers with airlines, hotels, and rental car companies. Because of this, the change fees and policies depend on the travel supplier, not Expedia itself.
Expedia doesn’t charge extra to process a change.
Airlines, hotels, or rental car companies may have their own penalties.
Fare differences apply when the new booking costs more than the original.
For example, if you’re changing a nonrefundable airline ticket, the airline might charge a rebooking fee. Expedia passes that cost to you but doesn’t add an additional service fee of its own.
If you’re unsure whether your booking allows free changes, contact Expedia directly via live chat or call ☎️ +1 (833) 621-8251 for confirmation.
Flight change fees depend primarily on the airline’s fare rules, which Expedia must follow. Some airlines have eliminated change fees for standard economy and higher fares, while others still charge depending on destination and ticket class.
Flexible or refundable tickets: Usually free to change before departure.
Nonrefundable tickets: You may need to pay a change fee plus fare difference.
Basic economy tickets: Often cannot be changed after booking.
Original fare: $300
New flight: $350
Airline change fee: $75
Total cost to change: $125 ($75 fee + $50 fare difference)
Expedia displays these fees clearly before you confirm any modification.
If you need urgent same-day changes or international itinerary updates, it’s best to call Expedia’s support line at ☎️ +1 (833) 621-8251 to ensure your change is processed immediately.
Most hotels booked through Expedia offer free cancellations or changes within a specific window. However, some discounted or prepaid hotel rates are non-changeable.
Flexible hotel rates can usually be changed with no charge before the cancellation deadline.
Prepaid or promotional rates might charge one night’s stay or be completely nonrefundable.
Expedia does not add its own change fee, but the hotel’s policy applies.
Go to “My Trips” on Expedia.
Select the hotel reservation.
Look under Change Reservation or Cancellation Policy for specific details.
If your hotel change request is complex (e.g., extending dates, changing destinations, or upgrading rooms), Expedia support can assist. Call ☎️ +1 (833) 621-8251 to review your hotel’s policy and avoid unnecessary fees.
Car rental changes are usually free through Expedia, as long as they’re made before the pickup time. However, some rental partners charge a modification fee, especially for prepaid rentals.
Pay later bookings: Free to change or cancel anytime before pickup.
Prepaid rentals: May include change penalties or require rebooking.
Last-minute changes: Subject to availability; fare differences may apply.
To modify your rental, visit “My Trips” on Expedia or contact customer service directly at ☎️ +1 (833) 621-8251 to confirm the updated total cost before making adjustments.
If you booked a vacation package (flight + hotel + car), change policies are more complex because they combine multiple travel providers.
Each component (flight, hotel, car) has separate rules.
Some packages are non-changeable or nonrefundable.
Expedia can modify eligible components for you, but fare differences apply.
If your travel dates or destination have changed, don’t try to modify the package online. Instead, call ☎️ +1 (833) 621-8251 so a live Expedia representative can help coordinate all parts of your trip and minimize additional costs.
In most cases, Expedia does not charge its own service fee for changes made online. However, service fees may apply for phone-assisted bookings or complex itinerary adjustments (especially with multi-stop flights or group bookings).
To confirm whether a service fee applies to your change, contact Expedia’s billing or modification line at ☎️ +1 (833) 621-8251 before proceeding.
Here’s a simple step-by-step process for changing your booking:
Go to Expedia.com and log into your account.
Click My Trips from the menu.
Choose the booking you wish to modify.
Select Change or Modify Reservation.
Review any applicable supplier fees or fare differences.
Confirm and submit your changes.
If you encounter any errors or time-sensitive issues, call Expedia directly at ☎️ +1 (833) 621-8251 to process your modification immediately.
Timing is key. Each travel partner has specific rules about when changes are allowed.
Flights: Up to a few hours before departure (depending on airline).
Hotels: Before the property’s check-in time or cancellation deadline.
Car rentals: Before scheduled pickup time.
After these deadlines, changes may be denied or result in full forfeiture of the booking. Calling Expedia at ☎️ +1 (833) 621-8251 ensures you’re aware of your specific cutoff times.
Online changes work well for simple updates, but in certain situations, it’s better to contact a live Expedia agent.
Your trip includes multiple passengers or flights.
