Hotwire refuses to refund the money
I purchased airline tickets through hotwire.com for a holiday trip. The trip was cancelled by the airline and the airline agreed to refund the ticket price in late december. Hotwire refuses to refund the money to me because they are "waiting" for the airline to provide the check number of the refund. Hotwire knows how much money I paid and acknowledges that a refund was agreed to by the airline. At this point they are in possession of my original payment, plus the refund from the airline. Repeated calls to resolve the matter go nowhere, and I am not getting return calls by anyone with authority to fix the problem. This is unethical and hotwire employees should be ashamed.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.

I completed an on-line rental for an "economy" booking in Orlando for 6 days. Hotwire choose NU rental agency. The reviews are horrible and I don't believe Hotwire should be using them at all!. I called and asked for some help in canceling so I could have Hotwire book someone else for me. Got nothing but bs about policies. Horrible experience.

Hotwire booked me a hotel in Saint Petersburg with a hotel that was being demolished within a month. The room was disgusting so we never stayed on the agreement with Hotwire to refund my 166 usd. It never happened and that was years ago. I have reservations about the integrity of this company so buyer be ware.
Book a car rental online, Hotwire says this car is not available. No car and Hotwire charges me $1.00 for nothing. They do have the car but now it's more money. Fauls advertising. How many people do they do this to. Would be a great class action lawsuit to check into.

Booked a hotel through Hotwire. At the hotel reception I was told that they do not have any registration under my name and they can not let me in. Imagine, I was with family (two kids), took me two hours to reserve another hotel. After almost two months Hotwire is still researching. The customer service is beyond disaster.
