Quikbook Company Information
Incorporated in Delaware | Privately held |
Quikbook has been in continuous operation since it was founded in 1988.
The company originated as an independent call-center hotel reservation
service and is now a fully integrated online and call center distributor
of hotels offered at deeply discounted rates. Our corporate offices and
state-of-the-art reservation center are located on 381 Park Avenue South
in New York City.
Quikbook works in partnership with a wide variety of independent properties
and hotel chains in 75 of the most-traveled-to destinations. All hotels have
rooms that frequently go unused. Quikbook negotiates individually to obtain
the lowest possible rates in exchange for helping the hotels put "heads in beds"
that would otherwise be unoccupied. We help hotels increase utilization in down
periods in exchange for access to rooms in higher-demand periods.
The guaranteed lowest rates, up to 60% off, are offered on all hotels
available directly from Quikbook.com. The same rates are available
whether a guest books online or by calling our toll-free reservation center.
Quikbook offers side-by-side access to hotels that offer travelers either
of two payment options. “Pay when you stay” hotels allow the customer to
make a confirmed reservation, guarantee it with a credit card, but pay nothing
until checking out at the end of the stay. Quikbook levies NO fees to change
or cancel such a reservation.
Clearly labeled "Prepay" hotels ask the customer to pay the room rate plus
taxes and fees at the time of booking. Quikbook’s change/cancel fee for
prepaid reservations is among the industry’s very lowest, just $10.
Quikbook represents a full range of hotels from 5-star hotels and resorts
to boutiques, from business hotels to budget-priced properties. They range
in size from 40 to 1,700 rooms. Quikbook selects hotels that are well located
near business, entertainment or transportation centers. Our goal is not to
offer every hotel in a market. Instead, we aim to offer a well-chosen selection
of premier hotels that offer guests a range of options. The result is a more
concise, pre-selected list of hotels that simplify the booking process.
In 2004, we added access to Hotel Marketplace, a separate website that
offers reservations at more than 55,000 hotels worldwide. Hotel Marketplace
aids customers who seek a destination or specific hotel not offered at Quikbook.com.
The rates offered at Hotel Marketplace are not negotiated by Quikbook and are
not subject to our lowest-rate guarantee.
