To get a refund from Expedia, follow these steps:

  1. Check the Refund Policy: Ensure your booking qualifies for a refund. For hotels, flights, and car rentals, verify the cancellation rules.
  2. Contact Expedia Support: Reach out via:
    • Online Chat: Log in to your Expedia account and start a chat.
    • Phone: Call Expedia at 1-855-542-9315 (U.S. number).
    • Email: Email customer.service@expedia.com if you prefer written communication.
  3. Provide Your Booking Details: Have your booking reference and any relevant details (reason for refund) ready when you contact them.
  4. Follow Up: If you don’t receive a response in a reasonable time, follow up with Expedia.
  5. Chargeback (if needed): If you're unable to resolve it through Expedia, consider contacting your credit card company for a chargeback.

To get a refund from Expedia, you typically need to follow these steps, depending on the type of booking and the refund policy. Here’s a general outline:

1. Check the Refund Policy​

  • Hotels: Many hotels booked through Expedia allow for free cancellations if done within a certain time frame. However, if the booking is non-refundable, you may not be able to get a refund unless there's a special circumstance (e.g., illness, emergency).
  • Flights: For flights, you need to check if the airline allows refunds, as Expedia acts as an intermediary. Some flights are non-refundable or subject to cancellation fees, especially if you booked a discounted fare.
  • Car Rentals and Activities: Like hotels, some are refundable within a specified window, while others are not.

2. Contact Expedia Support​

  • Online via Chat: You can contact Expedia customer support via their online chat service. Log in to your Expedia account, go to the help section, and you’ll often be able to initiate a chat with a representative.
  • Phone Support: You can call Expedia at 1-855-542-9315 (in the U.S.). The wait times can vary, so try to be prepared for a bit of hold time.
  • Email: In some cases, Expedia may respond to email inquiries. You can try emailing their support team at customer.service@expedia.com, but this method may take longer to get a response.

3. Request the Refund​

  • Once you're in contact with a representative, explain your situation and ask for a refund or cancellation. Have your booking details ready, such as:
    • Booking reference number
    • The reason for cancellation
    • Any applicable documentation if you're requesting a special exception (like medical emergencies).

4. Follow-Up​

  • After submitting your request, keep track of your refund status by checking your email or Expedia account. If you don’t hear back in a reasonable amount of time, follow up.

5. Chargeback (If Necessary)​

  • If you paid with a credit card and cannot get a refund through Expedia, you may want to contact your credit card provider and request a chargeback, especially if the service was not delivered as promised.

6. Special Circumstances​

  • COVID-19 or Unforeseen Events: If you’re affected by travel disruptions (e.g., flight cancellations, natural disasters, or government travel restrictions), Expedia may offer more flexible refund or rescheduling options. It’s worth asking about these if your situation qualifies.
