The customer service representative in Hotwire actually told me that if I have children - I should not use Hotwire. In these exact words! I'm very experienced with shopping in the internet, especially for travel. I've never used Hotwire before, and I'm ...

I can certainly imagine why people have trouble with Hotwire, but I am 2-for-2 with their services, so I couldn't be happier. First experience. I was hoping to rent a minivan in April in order to drive from NY to NC. I had checked with Hertz and Avis, ...

Hotwire strictly enforces their cancellation policy. I reserved a room on Thursday for the coming Saturday. I accidentally clicked one row below in the pop-up calendar, reserving the Saturday 9 days hence instead of 2. Upon finding I had no room (and ...

I recently used Hotwire to purchase an airline ticket from Los Angeles to Philadelphia. My flight times are flexible, I thought. I like to save money. Why not give this a try? What a HUGE mistake. I did get a pretty good price. $220 for a RT ticket....

Its time for a rewrite. Today after seeing the final pintout Hotwire added $80 dollars to the booking. I was quoted $29.25 for a midsize car with Hertz and I booked it. Nowhere on the website did it say an additional amount was going to be added to the...

I rented a car from Hertz thru Hotwire, in San Diego, CA. I rented a full size car for $21.95 per day, which was the best rate I could find anywhere. We made the deal. When arriving in San Diego, I stood in line at Hertz for about 20 minutes, when I ...

I started using hotwire around 3 years ago. I have my own company and often travel. My schedule is often tight so I prefer to stay away from booking a flight on hotwire. There are enough warnings on the site that flight times are not guaranteed. If you...

Pros: Incredibly cheap hotels Cons: Don't know which hotel until you purchase.
I've just returned from a round of college visits with my daughter. We did quite a bit of junketing to get in all the west coast schools that we wanted to see. I had already booked the travel using other online sources, and I was left with making hotel...

From the moment I booked with HOTWIRE until weeks after the hotel stay, the overall experience was so difficult, so intensive and required so much follow-up and correction that I may have earned any savings (for my time) when consideration warrants any...

I am a new user of hotwire.com, like most people I heard commercials on the radio and saw some on television, so when planning my trip I decided to see what they had to offer.
I did find low rates, going from Albany NY to Orlando was 179.00...

Oh yes, they can deliver great rental car rates. Just make sure you are absolutely perfect when entering your order, 'cause Mr. Hotwire will spank you for the tiniest mistake. Now I'm spanking myself for three ...

Mis-representation of services offered at hotel by HotWire. On April 17th, we checked into the Artisan Hotel in Phoenix, AZ. This was a hotel that was confirmed to have in-room Internet access prior to purchase by HotWire. The hotel we found did ...
