FAQs | Making payments
Are my card details safe?
Yes, this is a secure site, so all the details you enter as part of your booking are stored safely. You'll see that this site uses a secure server and a high level of encryption.
Which payment methods do you accept?
We accept the following methods of payment:
Cash*, Visa, American Express, Mastercard, Diners Club**, Maestro***, Leisure Vouchers, Delta (choose this option if paying by visa debit card) and Premier Inn Business Account.
Please note: unfortunately, we can no longer accept Family discount cards.
Unless you have paid in advance, you'll be asked to pay when you check in, so you can be sure of a quick and easy departure on the day you leave.
Notes:
* If you're paying by cash, we will ask you for identification when you check in. You can use any of the following as identification: a passport, driving licence, ID card or police warrant card.
** 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.
Can I pay in advance or on arrival?
Flex bookings for Premier Inn hotels can be paid for on arrival. However, Flex bookings for hub and ZIP hotels need to be paid for in advance, as do bookings made on all other rates.
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 to guarantee your room and you will 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.

I secured my Flex booking with my credit/debit card, can I pay with cash on arrival?
Yes, if you wish to pay with cash or Leisure Vouchers on arrival, you must provide a form of identity at check-in, which has a name, address and/or signature, which correspond to that supplied on the registration card.
Accepted documents are:
- Driving licence
- ID card
- Valid passport
- Police warrant
If you have any further queries please contact the hotel directly.
Why can't I pay on departure?
At Premier Inn, your room must be paid for on booking or on arrival (depending on which rate you choose). This means that an early start is never delayed by having to check out before departure.
How do I know that my payment was successful?
A message will be displayed on screen saying that payment has been authorised. You will then receive a confirmation email including a full VAT receipt.
