I booked a car reservation on the phone… I booked a car reservation on the phone through Hotline Car Rental. I told the agent I wanted to make a reservation for Rochester Minnesota. The agent entered all my information, confirmed my reservation, and emailed me my receipt. I reviewed my reservation and discovered that the agent entered the reservation for Rochester New York. I called customer service to explain what happened. They said they could not issue a refund. I will never deal with Hotline again.

Corporate abuse Loyal customer, the one time I messed up and accidentally booked a duplicate car rental I was told because it’s a “hot rate” no refund or credit available. Who cares what it’s called? How is it legal or ethical for a company policy to flat out steal peoples’ money?

Scammed by hotwire Scammed by hotwire. I was guaranteed a hotel and then got something totally different. Support didn't care at all and tried with 3 different ppl that all gave long generic responses. They even said the guarantee wording actuality means “examples” which is ridiculous.

Hotwire "guarantee" means nothing I booked a Hot Rate hotel through the website. I understand you take your chances when booking these rates. But the site said "You’re guaranteed to stay at one of these regional or national chains:" and showed Sheraton, Radisson, Holiday Inn, and Wingate. It further offered a photo from the hotel I was booking. I was booked into the Sonesta Select. I have talked to multiple people there, and get the same rehearsed answers. How can they legally make a guarantee and then not follow through with it?

HOTWIRE has become a SCAM HOTWIRE was fantastic back in the years. Now they are abusing their customers. The commissions are ridiculous. Go back to what you were in 2017 and become a travel giant. You won't survive otherwise
