Having Issues Getting a Travelocity Refund? DoNotPay Can Help!

Travelocity is one of those super convenient travel agencies allowing you to book cheap flights, hotels, and travel arrangements.

But much like its parent agency Expedia and sister sites Orbitz, Priceline, and Hotels.com, Travelocity is known for its horrendous customer service and a persistent inclination to not give you a refund when you are entitled to one.

Either of these companies will offer you a voucher or a flight credit, but not actual cash.

To be fair, Travelocity is only a mediator between customers on one side and hotels, airlines, or cruise lines on the other, so the refunds don't depend entirely on them.

But if you want to lock up a refund for plane tickets, hotel bookings, or other arrangements, DoNotPay can help you get there faster.

Does Travelocity Give Refunds?

The agency does issue refunds occasionally, but the details depend on their partners and their current cancellation policies.

Whenever there is a massive cancellation influx, hotels and airlines push passengers into accepting credits for future flights instead of a flight cancellation refund, even if the cancellations are not the passenger's fault.

Travelocity follows their rules regarding canceled flights, hotel bookings, and other events.

What Is Travelocity Refund Policy for Flights?

Travelocity offers a 24-hour window to cancel your flight and get a full refund. This doesn't work for all airlines and fares.

If you want to cancel a non-refundable flight, you will either get nothing or may be eligible for a flight credit.

What Is the Travelocity Hotel Refund Policy?

Travelocity will generally issue you a full refund for hotel cancellations as long as you cancel your booking before the predetermined deadline.

There are exceptions, as some hotel rooms are non-refundable.

Will Travelocity Refund Vacation Packages?

The 24-hour guarantee works in this case as well. If you booked a vacation package, you can cancel within that time frame and get a full refund. Anytime after that, not only will you not get a refund, you may be required to pay a cancellation fee.

What Is Travelocity Refund Policy Regarding Cars?

If you want to cancel a car booking and receive a refund, you have to do it at least six hours before pick-up.

Not every rental is eligible for a refund. You can find whether your booking fits the criteria in your itinerary details. Travelocity offers no refunds for any unused time. If you want to return the car early, don't expect to get your money back.

Does Travelocity Refund Cruises?

Cruises are usually eligible for a full refund, as long as you cancel the trip at least 90 days before the departure.
