Tips for Getting the Best Negotiated Rates

messages.help_article.last_updated

Maximize Your Savings

Negotiated hotel rates can deliver significant savings. Here are strategies to get the best deals:

Book Early

Submit your RFP 3-6 months in advance. Hotels have more flexibility to offer discounts when they have plenty of inventory left.

Be Flexible with Dates

Hotel rates fluctuate with demand. If you can shift your dates by even a day or two, we can negotiate lower rates. Mention flexibility in your request.

Negotiate on Room Blocks

Hotels offer better rates for larger room blocks. Ask about:

  • Tiered pricing — better rates for more rooms
  • Concessions — free breakfast, parking, or meeting space
  • Attrition clauses — understand penalties for unused rooms

Let Us Negotiate

The whole point of HotelHuddle is that we negotiate for you. Provide a realistic budget and let our team work the hotels. We often secure rates 15-30% below published prices.

Consider Shoulder Seasons

Off-peak travel can cut rates by 30-50%. If your dates are flexible, ask us to negotiate for slower periods.
