Pros: All the fun of Vegas and big savings!
Cons: You must be flexible and purchases are non-refundable
Hotwire is a great online service offering discounted air, hotel, and car rentals through major name brand companies. The company is owned by a group of airlines and is intended to sell otherwise unused inventory. If you are flexible in your travel...

Pros: very low prices, excellent customer service
Cons: inability to pick your flight times, poor domain name
I have only used Hotwire.com one time, but it was a very pleasant experience and I would say that I would definitely use them again. My best friend since high school was coming cross country to visit me and I (being the sweet, generous best friend that I...

I have used Hotwire on a number of occasions for hotels and, until recently, been very happy. I got great deals in 2003 on hotels in DC and NYC. But that was then (over a year ago) and this is now. My latest experience with them was less than ...

I've used Hotwire on four occasions, three times to find a quick, cheap fare, and a fourth for a planned trip to Europe from North America. Each time, Hotwire was able to deliver an inexpensive price to me. For me, in travel, if I'm willing to pay ...

I'm a regular user of Priceline and have always been very satisfied, even though I know it's a gamble with flight time and hotel locations -- I've always gotten reservations at great hotels at great prices. Since they seem to be affiliated, I've been ...

I have used Hotwire 3 times. A car rental was fine and good value. One night in NYC was fine and good value. However 4 nights in Miami cost me a lot more than it should have done and Hotwire have no interest in my claim under their low price ...

We have used Hotwire for four years to book rooms in urban areas with consistent results: solid three-star hotels at lower prices than those for mediocre two-star motels booked elsewhere. Two months ago I would have given them a rave review. ...

From 2001 to 2004 Hotwire.com was the #1 place to get a great deal on a hotel or a rental car. I used to work for a travel agency that specialized in cruises. We would recommend hotwire.com to people that wanted to stay at a hotel for a few days ...

Pros: You can find really low prices!
Cons: Doesn't tell you what rental agency or hotel until you buy.
I have used the internet thoroughly over the last few years and one thing that takes up a lot of my time is searching for discounted travel options. In this field there are many competitors who will do anything to win you over. Because of this,...

Pros: Cheap deals!
Cons: Don't know times, airlines, or rental agency til you buy.
It's a never ending battle. Do I share my new found bargain with everyone? Or do I keep it to myself in hopes that it doesn't go bad? I've decided I LOVE Hotwire, and I hope by spreading the word, I hope this website will continue to grow.

Pros: Low prices, guaranteed
Cons: no flexibility in scheduling, no info on carrier prior to purchase, suprises
I first heard about Hotwire.com on the Dan Patrick/Rob Dibble ESPN radio program. Prior to that I had utilized other programs that offer discount tix but with much less success. This program, for those that don't care when they travel or with whom, is...

I went to Hotwire because I needed a flight from Providence to Richmond, one way. Despite the fact that their web site has a link for one way flights, Hotwire does not actually offer one way tickets. This does not make sense. I saw more weird things ...

I thought Hotwire was for finding a deal, not getting ripped off with hidden costs. I booked a 2 night stay in California back in July and was a little confused with how HotWire worked. They do not let you pick your actual accomidations before ...

I booked a hotel in what Hotwire calls "Alexandria-Old Town". Since I wanted to stay in Old town Alexandria, VA I thought it was perfect. Once revealed, the hotel is not in Old Town at all! It is 3.8 miles away from Old Town! I am not happy with this as...
