1. How can I get a cheaper Premier Inn room rate?
Premier Inn has renamed the room rates they offer to customers with the old 'saver rate' being replaced by 'standard rate' which is now the most common cheapest rate available.

So if you can be certain of your travel plans then you can benefit from a very attractive room rate saving by selecting the standard rate with an average saving of £19 per night.
2. What does the Premier Inn room rate include?
The rates are per room (rather than per person), per night. They include VAT. Meals are not included in the room price.
You also get access to the Premier Inn free WiFi service available 24/7.
3. Additional discounts on Premier Inn room rates
Periodically Premier Inn run promotions when they will discount room rates, sometimes down to as low as £29 per room outside London and £59 per room in Central London Premier Inn's. These tend to be at times of naturally lower room demand such as the Winter months and outside of big events. These special Premier Inn discount deals are always promoted through thier own website.
4. Does Premier Inn offer last minute discounted rooms?
No, Premier Inn do not hold back any rooms for late bookings. All rooms are sold on a first come first served basis. Nor do they offer unsold rooms at discounted rates for last minute bookings.
5. What day of the week is the cheapest for booking a Premier Inn?
Friday and Sunday nights are consistently lower priced than other days making a weekend stay good value.

- Basically by paying more for your Premier Inn you are paying for increased flexibility should your travel plans change.
- The Flex rate is the most expensive option but also allows you to change your booking, be that a cancellation for full refund, or a fully flexible amendment right up until 1pm on the day of your stay.
- The Semi-Flex option is the mid-priced option allowing you to cancel for a full refund up to three days before your stay, or amend the booking on a like for like basis up to 1pm on the day of stay.
- The most common cheapest rate which is called Standard and was formally called the saver rate, only allows cancellation for a full refund up to 24hrs after you have made the initial booking, but similar to the semi-flex does still allow you to amend the booking on a like for like basis right up to 1pm on the day of your stay.
- If you are booking a Premier Inn more than 28 days in advance then you may be offered the Advance rate which requires you to pay in full on booking but allows you a full refund upto 28 days before your stay, if it is less than 28 days before your stay you cannot cancel for a refund but can still amend your booking right up to 1pm on the day of your stay at the same hotel. This gives you a medium level of flexibility and is priced midway between a Standard rate and Flex rate.
- Finally you may on occasion be offered a Non-Flex rate which will be the very cheapest rate and is rarely seen. This rate requires you to pay in full at booking, there are no refunds or amendments of any type allowed.
So if you can be certain of your travel plans then you can benefit from a very attractive room rate saving by selecting the standard rate with an average saving of £19 per night.
