Question 1

What is the KAYAK* charge on my bank statement?

Accepted Answer

The KAYAK* charge on your statement is a payment to Kayak, the travel search platform. It reflects a flight or hotel booking you made through Kayak's website or app. These charges typically range from $50.00 to $800.00 depending on the type of travel booked.

Question 2

I see a charge between $50 and $800 from KAYAK* — did I actually book something?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a charge labeled KAYAK* in that range almost certainly means a flight or hotel reservation was completed through Kayak. If you don't remember booking, check your email for a confirmation from Kayak and review your trips at kayak.com/trips to see any active reservations tied to your account.

Question 3

How do I cancel a Kayak booking to get a refund for this charge?

Accepted Answer

To cancel a booking associated with a KAYAK* charge, go to kayak.com/trips and log in to your account. From there you can view and manage your reservations. Keep in mind that refund eligibility depends on the airline or hotel's cancellation policy, so it's best to act quickly if you need to cancel.

Question 4

Could the KAYAK* charge be fraudulent, or is it a legitimate company?

Accepted Answer

Kayak is a legitimate and well-known travel search platform, so the KAYAK* charge is not inherently fraudulent. If you or someone with access to your payment method recently booked a flight or hotel, that would explain the charge. To verify, visit kayak.com/trips to check for any bookings under your account. If you find nothing and did not authorize the charge, contact your bank to dispute it.
