Not Your Average Booking Website.
We do things a little differently here at RatePunk.
It's where hotel rooms are quite literally on sale - all year round!
You might not find the traditional hotel search you're used to, but what you'll find are selected offers for incredibly low prices. This is because we've teamed up with multiple wholesalers, which allows us to offer our customers agency prices without taking a commission off your bookings.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is RatePunk?
We are a different kind of travel agency. By giving our customers access to wholesaler rates - we are able to offer the lowest prices on the market. Unlike some major online travel agencies, we don’t add commission to your booking, giving you a fair price.
Why can’t I search for hotels myself?
You are technically not supposed to see these rates, as they are wholesale rates meant for travel agencies only.
We’ve found a loophole which allows us to offer our customers a better price compared to other booking providers.
How to book a hotel through RatePunk?
To book a hotel through RatePunk, go to your regular booking site, choose a hotel you like, and wait for the RatePunk extension to show you the price comparison. Not to brag, but we’re usually at the top of their list as the cheapest provider.
If you don’t see a RatePunk option - it means we don’t have availability for this particular hotel.
If you don’t have the browser extension yet, check out the features & benefits on our website.
It may sound like a lot of extra legwork, but it’s worth it for the money saved.
Are all taxes and fees included in the price?
The short answer - no. Unlike most major hotel booking websites, we cannot include additional hotel taxes (such as a city tax or a resort fee, for example) in our final price, so there might be some out-of-pocket expenses in some cases.
However, we will always provide information on any additional taxes, so you know what to expect when you arrive at your hotel.
Is this legit?
It’s as legit as the bed bank your traditional travel agent uses when booking a vacation for you. After all - we are just a link bypassing the middle-man and connecting wholesalers directly with the customer.
How do I manage my booking?
