Hotels 

 

Hotel Pre-Authorisation 

It is standard hotel policy to take a ""pre-authorisation"" of your credit card at check-in, to ensure you have enough funds to pay any incidental charges incurred. The amount will depend on your length of stay and vary between hotels. A pre-authorisation is a validity check of your credit card. This ""blocks"" an amount reducing your credit card limit. It is NOT a transaction charge and will not appear on your statement. Depending on your credit card bank’s set up, the pre-authorisation amount should typically drop off within 1-2 weeks. 

 

Can I get a copy of my hotel booking confirmation? 

Wallabies Travel is unable to provide hotel confirmation numbers for individual bookings until a couple of weeks out from the check-in date. The reason for this being that the rooms are held under a group booking and are not allocated to individual customers until closer to the arrival date. Once you have booked with us, your room is secured. 

If your preference is to have your hotel confirmation number, please send a request to our team at [email protected].

 

Can I add an extra night/s to my hotel booking and/or upgrade my hotel room allocation? 

The Wallabies Travel team will happily assist you with any additional night and room upgrade requests, please get in touch via [email protected].  

 

I've booked additional night/s with the hotel myself. Can I have the bookings linked? 

Yes - if the room type is the same. Please send our team at [email protected] the booking confirmation that the hotel has provided you for the night/s you have booked yourself and we will add this to our accommodation notes. When we share our rooming list with the hotel, staff will see that the two bookings align and keep you in the same room, to avoid any mid-stay movements. 

 

Can I leave a day earlier/arrive a day later from my hotel? 

Yes. However, we will not be able to secure a refund for the reduction in number of nights with the hotel. 

 

Can I check in earlier than the hotel’s check in time? 

If your room is ready prior to the specified check in time, the hotel will be able to check you in.

If your room is not ready, the hotel can store your luggage until the specified time of check in when you can access your allocated room.

 

Can I check out later than the hotel’s check out time? 

You will need to request this directly with the hotel (upon check in) who will advise you if they can support your request. 

 

Can I park my car at the hotel? 

If you wish to add hotel car parking to your booking, please let us know. We will liaise with the hotel and request costs and availability.
