early checkout

Leaving before expected

Early checkout is leaving a hotel before your originally scheduled departure date.

Hotels often charge an early checkout fee to recover the revenue from the forfeited night.

The term also applies to leaving any reserved accommodation, rental, or sometimes a program or event before the expected end: We had to do an early checkout because of a family emergency.
