Deutsch Begriff oder Satz: Kostenübernahme
from a hotel booking form, the front office clerk has to note who will be paying the bill.

What's the English term we would find on an English hotel booking form?

I found "confirmation of cost coverage" in Kudoz for "kostenübernahmebestätigung", but somehow can't imagine seeing the field "cost coverage" on a hotel booking form.

In the USA, this would usually be a credit card number.

Thanks to everyone. Of course, "costs borne by:" is a more direct translation, but "Invoice to:" sounds more appropriate here.

Zustimmung  Ian M-H (X): Yes, although "invoice to" would probably be more likely in Asker's UK context - but I don't think they're asking for credit card details here, rather for the name of the person/firm to be invoiced/billed

  -> You can also enter a company name or such, assuming the hotel has a previous relationship with the company or person.

Payment type


Erklärung:
Could it be asking how the deposit will be paid? credit or cash

I can see Ian H's point, IF the bill is to be paid by s/o other than the guest.

The only invoices I ever saw as a night auditor, was when we had a guest that was part of a corp acct.

Craig, I would say then-"Payment Type (payment options here)"and leave room for the guest and res agent to enter the payment details. This way the property can bill the company if the guest is a noshow. I think charge to could work as well.

Sorry for not being clearer.
