If I am a non-U.S. based customer, what is required to book through Hotwire?

Make sure you have the correct visa and that your passport is up to date in advance of travel. Since all Hotwire bookings are final, we recommend checking your visa and passport status (to ensure they are current/valid) prior to booking on our site. You are responsible for ensuring that you have all necessary travel documents.

For U.S. passport and visa requirements, application forms, where to conveniently apply, and other passport and international travel information, visit the U.S. Department of State's Passport Services at http://www.travel.state.gov.

All hotels require a valid credit card and some also require a valid ID and proof of citizenship (passport or birth certificate). The ID and credit card must match the guest name under which the room is reserved. Hotels will require a credit card authorization to guarantee payment of any incidental charges you may incur during your stay. The amount of available credit needed will vary by hotel. Any incidental charges (e.g., parking, local phones calls, room service) are additional and payable directly to the hotel at checkout time. Other hotel charges, including resort fees or convention fees, must also be paid when you check out. Once you book a hotel reservation, we recommend that you contact your hotel to ask about any additional charges.
