Travel Insurance
We recommend purchasing travel insurance to cover cancellations, travel delays and other unforeseen incidents and accidents. We encourage you to read the insurance terms and conditions to ensure you’re covered for your planned travel.

Security Deposits

• You must provide a credit card for pre-authorisation or imprint when you check-in.
• This authorisation may be used to cover incidental items including but not limited to telephone charges, security bond or deposit for any breakages or damage incurred during your stay or cleaning charges in excess of the normal level of cleaning.
• The pre-authorisation process validates your credit card, and protects both the cardholder and merchant from increasing fraud incidents. 
• The pre-authorised amount is set aside by the card issuer for a period of up to 14 days from the date of pre-authorisation and the pre-authorisation will affect your available funds balance or spending limit. For more information on this practice please contact your card issuer.
• Once a pre-authorisation has been made, HIE cannot release, remove or lower the authorised amount, until we process the final account on departure. This is a restriction imposed by the card issuer, and cannot be negotiated.
• Where a credit card is not available a minimum $200.00 cash deposit will be required on check-in. (The actual amount required may be higher at some Participating Properties)
