Expedia Name Change: Quick Guide & Rules

Making a mistake while entering your name on a travel booking can happen to anyone, but even a small error can lead to complications at the airport or hotel. If you’ve booked through Expedia and need to change or correct a name, it's important to understand the platform’s policies and procedures. This quick guide outlines the essential rules and steps for making name changes on Expedia. Expedia allows name corrections for most bookings, especially when the error is minor—such as a spelling mistake or letter transposition. However, full name changes, such as transferring a booking to another person, are generally not permitted due to airline and partner restrictions. For flight bookings, Expedia must follow the specific airline’s name correction policy, which may include limitations and fees. To request a name change, the best first step is to log into your Expedia account, go to the “My Trips” section, and review your booking details. If you find a name error, contact Expedia’s customer support as soon as possible by calling +1-888-807-4854. An agent can guide you through the correction process and let you know if the change is allowed, if documentation is required, and whether any fees apply.
