Not worth any perceived savings Every time I book a car with them, I have a bad experience. I say I will never book again and a couple of years later I decide to try them again and always get screwed. They will not update or change your reservation for any reason ever, so it's completely useless to call customer service. And if you are slightly late on your time, they charge you a whole other day (instead of an hourly rate, like most rental agencies.

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?

Use priceline.com instead of hotwire They put me in a motel and called it a 3.5 star hotel. I tried to fix it somehow with their customer service and hotwires customer service smelled worst the motel they put us in. The feces or blood drops in the bathroom was the deal breaker for us, we just left and had to pay for another hotel ourselves. Hotwire pretty much told us to take care of the scam ourselves.

Don't be fulled by fake positive… Don't be fulled by fake positive reviews. This company has literally no customer support. There may be some deals, right. But if something goes wrong or you simply need to change something - you are on your own. Local hotels are perhaps so-so. In the worst case there's always another hotel near by. But flights or vacations? Save yourself from big troubles with this crappy company

I booked through Hotwire and the hotel… I booked through Hotwire and the hotel was disgusting. I will never book through them ever.
