New Total Amount Display
We're excited to announce a new feature update to our search results page. Previously, we only displayed the per-night rate for reservations. Now, in compliance with CA Bill 537, we will also show the total amount due, including taxes and fees for all nights. The total will remain on the checkout page where it is itemized but this change will introduce it earlier in the user experience.
This enhancement ensures transparency and makes it easier for travelers to understand the full cost of their stay. We're rolling this out for all clients and connectivity providers, not just those in California. We are doing this because it's a better practice overall and helps prevent surprises at checkout with hidden fees. We've already made this update for properties connected via Expedia and Sabre and are actively adding all other connections now.
