Generating a quote

With Expedia TAAP, you can easily create and manage quotes in one place. This feature saves you time and provides the travelers you serve with all the information they need to decide on their perfect trip.

Four things to know about sending a quote:

You can generate a quote for all properties including vacation rentals.
You can only create quotes for a single rate type. If you need to generate multiple quotes, you have to save each one individually.
Book quotes fast to secure the price since these are only guaranteed once booked.
If you're quoting a hotel package rate (as opposed to a standalone rate) the price is automatically hidden. If you need to provide information on the final price to you traveler, you can add an optional custom message in the space provided.

1. Choose the property

Select the property you want to quote and click Select a room.

2. Make the room selection

Choose the room you wish to quote. Select any additional options for the rate: such as refundability, breakfast, extras, and more. Once you are happy with your selection, click on Generate quote.

3. Customize your quote

You can choose to customize your quote before sending it to the traveler:

Click on Add logo to add your agency logo. The file uploaded must not be larger than 100KB and 200px width. If the image file is oversized it will be automatically removed.
You can edit your contact information for each quote. Please note that any changes made to your contact details in this page will not be saved for future quotes. If you want to make permanent changes, make sure to update this information in your profile instead, by navigating to the TAAP Menu and clicking on Profile.
To save the quote, you need to ensure that all information marked as mandatory is completed (indicated by *).

Continue editing the quote by selecting the information you wish the traveler to see. For example you can:

Hide or show the cancellation policy.
Hide or show price – hiding the price will remove all the information within the price overview section. If you're quoting a package rate, this section is automatically hidden.
Add a custom message – personalize the quote by adding a message to your traveler.

4. Preview and save your quote

After editing your quote, you can choose to Preview PDF. From this screen you can then save a PDF version of the quote to your device, and then print or email it to your traveler. When selecting Save quote the quote will be saved in your Expedia TAAP account, and you will be able to access it at any time from the homepage.

5. Retrieving quotes

You can retrieve and manage your quotes easily on Expedia TAAP. You can find your saved quotes in two ways:

From the TAAP Menu, selecting the Quotes option.
From the Travel agent tools section on the homepage, and clicking on Manage quotes.

6. Managing and booking from saved quotes

You can view a list of all current and past quotes from the Quotes page. To open a saved quote, simply click on the quote name.

Once the quote opens, you can amend any details or initiate booking the property from the quote. To do this, look for the View details and book link under the property image. This will open the property details page; here, you can select the rate and book it. Remember, rates are not guaranteed until booked. In case the rate from your quote is sold out, a message will display advising you that the rate is no longer available.

If the rate changes, you will see also see a notification once you open your quote.

7. Deleting quotes

If you want to delete saved quotes, from the Quotes page, select the quote(s) you want to delete and finish by selecting Delete selected.
