Pros: Possible to find some great deals.
Cons: You don't know the times before you buy airline tickets.
I've used all three features of Hotwire; the flights, hotels and car rentals. The hotel and car rentals are my favorites. I used the site for travel in California, Minnesota and Colorado and it paid to use it every time. The hotels were so out of my...

Pros: Good price. Easy to Use
Cons: This company is as close to a fraud as
any I have ever seen.
Avoid this company at all costs. They will take your
money and run. I made a type-o entering my friends
first name, and Hotwire claimed that they were unable to correct it do to FAA regulations. Well I called the airline and they told me...

I had the misfortune to use Hotwire for airfare to Atlanta from NYC. The flights times were not suitable for humans and all their "customer service" people would say is "no refunds". I would never use Hotwire again and have recommended to all my...

Pros: promises competitive rates
Cons: Too much like "Let's make Deal!"
This site is not going to work. I tried to get a rate on a hotel and was completely turned off when it was revealed that I had to pay for the room BEFORE they informed me where I was staying. This is like the television show, Let's make a Deal. You've...

I have traveled frequently to New York City in the past year and have almost always booked my hotel rooms with Hotwire. I never paid more than $180 per night, before tax. If you've stayed in New York recently, you know that it can be difficult to book...

Stay far away from this site! The customer service is the worst. The prices are not as good as I would have hope. All together, a rip off. A word of advice don't ever give these people your credit card...

Hotwire sold us a ticket for a flight that no longer existed. We called twice after purchasing the seat on Northwest Airlines and were assured each time that everything was set. When we got to the airport we were informed that that flight was taken out...

Pros: Great prices for last minute travel; quick response.
Cons: Don't know times or airlines until you buy; not eligible for airline miles, cannot exchange.
I've searched Hotwire for several trips I wanted to make, usually for last minute travel (less than 14 days away). Every other site I try quotes extremely high prices, but I've found great rates with Hotwire. For example, I was trying to get from Boston...

Do not use this service, they are the rudest and most dishonest business I've ever encountered. Their customer service was completely disrespectful to me on the phone. They have no refund policies, they treat you as if you're a 2nd rate customer, and you...
