Booking for parents

[inquisitive]

Is it possible for me to book a hotel room for my parents or do i need to register a separate account on priceline for them and bid under their account? I'm hoping i can just book it for them under my account but was concerned about when they arrive at the hotel as far as their names... Thanks.

From PRICELINE's FAQ:

"Can I purchase a reservation for someone else?

Reservations can be purchased for someone else as long as at least one person named on the reservation is 18 years of age or older if purchasing airline tickets, or 21 for a hotel or vacation packages reservation. Rental car drivers must be at least 21 years of age (24 in some locations). Rentals for drivers aged 18 and older are available in New York only.

When submitting the request on our website, enter the names of the travelers where required. Under the billing information, enter the billing details of the person paying for the reservation. Initialing the contract page during the request process indicates that the person purchasing reservations and the traveler(s) agree with all terms and conditions.

Note that the traveler who is checking in at the hotel will require a credit card in their name to cover any incidentals and at the rental car counter to pay for the reservation and any optional services and/or equipment such as child safety seats."

Please keep us updated with what you decide and if you have additional questions.
