** This is only accepted at some hotels. Please check with your chosen hotel before your stay.

*** Maestro cards can be used when paying for your room up-front, but cannot be used to guarantee or reserve a booking.

If I book a Flex rate and opt to pay on arrival, do I have to give you my payment card details to confirm my booking?

We'll need your card details just to guarantee your room, and you’ll be asked to pay for your stay on arrival. Don’t worry - all details are stored securely, and we won't charge you for cancellations, providing they're made before 1pm* on the day you're due to arrive.

Why can't I pay on departure?

At Premier Inn, your room must be paid for either when booking or upon arrival (depending on which rate you choose). Plus, this means that an early start will never be delayed by having to check out before departure!
