3. PRICES
a) How can your prices be cheaper than going direct to the hotel?
HotelsClick contract hotel rooms in bulk, as well as using traditional wholesalers, who pay in advance for these rooms so the saving can be passed onto the customer. Just as a shop buys products cheaper from a cash and carry, we buy rooms cheaper from the hotel, because we buy in bulk.
b) Your prices have changed since yesterday, why?
Firstly, our rates change everyday if line with changes in the currency market. Secondly we have many rooms available to use at many different rates. We sell our cheapest rooms first so, just as flights are cheaper the earlier you book, so are hotel rooms. It is a myth that travel is cheaper "lastminute" we recommend you book ahead.
c) Do your prices include tax?
Absolutely. Our rates are shown per room per night, with the final total being displayed all the way from search to final payment. We do not add on any extra costs at any point so you can be 100% confident that the first price you see, is the price you pay. We have already included taxes, credit card charges etc, excluding local taxes can not be calculate in advance (taxes; resort fees)

a) I want to have a cot provided for my room is it possible?
Yes, a baby cot may be provided by the hotel depending on their availability.
b) How many children can fit in one room?
You can request a double room, or a twin room with an extra bed for a child. As long as the child is under 12 on the date of arrival then this may be requested. Any price discount will already have been included once a search is performed.
c) How old is a child for the purposes of your website?
Under 12 years old on the date of arrival.
d) Do children receive discounted rates?
Children sometimes receive discounted rates, it depends upon the hotel. However, all discounts are already calculated when you make the search. There will be no further discounts on the final display rate.
5. BREAKFAST
Every hotel states whether or not breakfast is included. As a general rule, breakfast is included in our European rates but not on rates anywhere else in the world. However, there are exceptions to this rule and you are advised about the breakfast conditions when you perform a hotel search.

9. ON REQUEST
a) What is the difference between "On-Request" and "Book Now"?
A Book Now hotel is available immediately from our allocation of rooms at that hotel. The instant you confirm the reservation online the booking is made and guarenteed. A "request" booking is when all our allocated rooms at that hotel have been sold but we can request another room from the hotel on your behalf. This process may or may not be successful. If the hotel gives the extra room then we send the voucher and the booking is confirmed. If the hotel do not confirm the extra room, we will email you with alternative options which you can decide to take, or not to take. In the event that the hotel is full, no extra rooms are given and the customer does not want any alternative the request is cancelled and no money is taken from your credit card.
b) How long does a "On-Request" hotel take a respond?
Anywhere between an hour and 30 hours. So we advise that we shall respond within 30 hours.
c) Why are my card details taken for an "On Request" booking?
The card details are taken to quicken the process should the hotel be available. We do not charge your card anything for an "on request" booking unless we successfully acquisition the room or the customer agrees to an alternative we offer. The card details are authorised by the bank and we are given permission to debit, but we will not debit unless the above conditions are met.
