direct booking

No-agent hotel arrangement

Direct booking is reserving accommodations or services straight from the provider rather than through a third-party platform like Expedia or Booking.com.

Hotels often incentivize direct booking with better rates or perks, since they avoid paying commission fees: Book direct and save 15%.

The term appears frequently in travel and hospitality contexts.
