How do i pay for hotel?

Question

I want to go to tenerife with my friends next year ( we'l be 17)...but we're unsure how to pay for hotels etc. I borrowed my mums credit card for flights.... any advice is appreciated. but don't say we can't go ! because i know of many people who go and stay in hotels abroad at our age :) also could anyone recomend any good hotels? either tenerife or somewhere around there

Answer 1

My hotel (in the UK) will accept cash or we could have your mother fax us a form saying that we can take money from her credit card. That way you could just give money to your mum in advance before your flight and she can then pay for the room.

Don't know about the hotel you're staying at but it is possible they do the same.

Answer 2

Look at reviews and prices for local hotels on line for the place your going to travel to.  Also, shop around some websites help you find the best deal. Sometimes you can get everything all included in one price  When you decide the date your going call the hotel or book it on line in advance to ensure you will have that day.  You can pay with a Debit/Credit card or cash if your there. Don't go through a travel agent unless you don't want to do all this.  They charge you a fee for their work. I rather find better rates then them and not be charged Oh, you have to get a passport. Get a wallet sized photo of yourself and go to the post office to apply for one.  You definitely have to do this in advance(so you will have it the day of departure) to travel outside the country. Have fun.

Answer 3

Book using a credit card, and pay in cash when you're there.

Answer 4

Some will accept cash but you may have to send them a cheque with a small deposit first.  Or book them before you go and pay on your Mum's card if she'll let you.  That would probably be the easiest.

You can probably even pay cash through a travel agent.

Answer 5

Best way for paying would be to ob tain a pre-paid credit-card; those can be used by juveniles.

Further you should have a written statement by your parents, allowing you the trip, otherwise you may run into problems at customs being considered for runaways.
