cancellation fees
Withdrawal penalty charges
Cancellation fees are charges imposed when someone backs out of a reservation, booking, or contract.
Hotels, airlines, and service providers use them to recover losses from unfilled slots: The cancellation fee was nearly as much as the room itself.
Policies vary widely—some allow free cancellation within a window, others are nonrefundable from the start.
