Booking a holiday should be exciting, not stressful. The best way to book with confidence is to choose a provider that stands behind its prices with a best price guarantee. A best price guarantee is a commitment from a travel company that if you find the same booking for a lower price elsewhere, they will refund you the difference or even beat the competitor's price.

Several major travel platforms and credit card travel portals now offer these guarantees, each with its own specific rules. Here is a breakdown of what you need to know to secure the best deal.

 

EasyJet Holidays: "We'll Beat It!"

EasyJet Holidays provides one of the most straightforward and generous best-price guarantees in the market. They are so confident in their value that they promise to beat any cheaper price you find for an identical holiday.

 

How it works:
If you book an ATOL-protected holiday with easyJet and find an identical package from another ABTA-member holiday company within 24 hours, easyJet will apply a discount. This discount covers the difference in price plus an extra £5 per person .

 

What qualifies as an "identical holiday"?
The competitor's holiday must be an exact match in all key areas:

  • Flights: Same easyJet flights, airports, dates, and times .

  • Accommodation: The same hotel, resort, room type, and board basis .

  • Transfers: The same type of shared or private transfers .

  • Baggage: The same luggage allowance, such as the 23kg hold luggage included with beach holidays .

  • Extras: Any included perks like fast-track security, lounge access, or travel insurance.

     

How to claim:
To make a claim, you must submit an online form within 24 hours of your easyJet booking. You will need to provide your booking details and a link with screenshots showing the cheaper holiday you found . If your claim is approved, easyJet will process the discount within 14 days, either reducing your final balance or refunding your card.

Chase Sapphire Reserve: Hotel Price Protection

Chase has introduced a price match guarantee for prepaid hotel bookings made through its Chase Travel portal, specifically for Sapphire Reserve cardholders . This feature addresses a common pain point where travel portal prices are higher than booking directly.

 

How it works:
After booking a prepaid hotel through Chase Travel with an eligible card, you have a 24-hour window to submit a claim if you find the same room at a lower, publicly available rate elsewhere.

 

Key rules and exclusions:

  • The competing rate must be for the exact same hotel, room type, dates, and number of guests .

  • The cancellation policy must match your Chase Travel reservation exactly .

  • Rates that are excluded include loyalty member rates (e.g., Hilton Honors), corporate rates, AAA discounts, and rates found on opaque booking sites like Hotwire .

  • The nightly difference must be more than $5 to qualify .

If approved, the price difference is refunded to your original payment method, not as travel credits .

Trip.com: Price Match for Hotels, Case-by-Case for Flights

Trip.com offers a price match guarantee, but it is important to note that it primarily applies to hotel bookings and is part of a formal program. For flights, price adjustments are reviewed case-by-case and are not guaranteed.

 

For Hotels:
When you see a "We Price Match" prompt on the checkout page, you can submit a claim. If you find a lower price for the exact same room on another qualifying platform (like Agoda, Booking.com, or Expedia), you can request a refund of the difference . Claims must be submitted by 11:59 PM local time the day before check-in .

 

  • Important: Refunds for approved claims are issued in Trip Coins, not cash, and are credited one working day after you complete your stay .

     

For Flights:
Trip.com does not have a universal price guarantee for flights. If you find a lower price elsewhere, you can contact customer support for a review, but approval is not guaranteed, and any compensation would likely be in Trip Coins.

 

The Role of AI and Third-Party Tools

In 2026, finding the best price isn't just about manually comparing sites. AI-powered tools are increasingly becoming a key part of the process.

  • AI-Powered Price Monitoring: Platforms like 同程旅行 (Tongcheng Travel) offer "low-price reservation" functions. Users can set a target price for a flight, and the system will monitor it 24/7. If the price drops to that level, the ticket is booked automatically. If it doesn't, the pre-payment is fully refunded . This shifts the strategy from actively searching for a low price to passively waiting for one.

  • Limitations of AI: However, general AI chatbots like ChatGPT and DeepSeek have proven to be unreliable for finding actual fares. A 2026 test by Frommer's found that AI chatbots often provided inaccurate pricing and could not be relied upon to find the cheapest tickets compared to traditional search engines .
