How cancellation deadlines work on trip1
The deadline is set by the hotel, not by trip1. Once it passes, the booking automatically converts to non-refundable status. trip1 displays the exact cut-off in your timezone and the hotel's timezone on the confirmation page.
What to do if you're cutting it close
- Cancel a few hours before the deadline to leave a buffer for time zone confusion.
- If you've just missed it, contact trip1 support - hotels occasionally honor borderline cancellations.
- Document any genuine emergency reason - it improves the chance of a goodwill refund.
trip1 cancellation deadline - FAQ
It is too late once your rate's cancellation deadline has passed. On trip1 each hotel sets its own deadline, typically 24, 48 or 72 hours before check-in in the hotel's local time, and the exact date and time is in your confirmation email. Cancel before it for a full refund. After it, the booking is treated as non-refundable, unless your rate's terms show a partial refund step.
You are treated as a no-show, and the hotel usually keeps the payment for the stay, or at least the first night, depending on the rate's terms. Even if you are past the free cancellation deadline, cancelling still releases the room. Check the cancellation rules in your trip1 confirmation email to see what your rate allows.
Before the deadline you do not need one: cancel and the rate's refund applies. After the deadline, no excuse changes the rate's terms, but a genuine emergency can help. Contact trip1 support with your booking reference and documents that show the reason, since hotels occasionally honor borderline cancellations and evidence improves the chance of a goodwill refund.
Contact trip1 support straight away with your booking reference. The deadline is set by the hotel, so a refund is not guaranteed, but hotels occasionally honor borderline cancellations, especially when you cancel right after the cut-off. To avoid this, cancel a few hours before the deadline to leave a buffer for time zone confusion.
The hotel's local time zone. Because that can differ from yours, trip1 shows the exact cut-off in both your time zone and the hotel's, so you do not have to convert it yourself. Check the deadline date and time in your confirmation email and cancel with a few hours to spare.
