Sucks Arse!

Don’t use. The app froze on me, then ended up double booking, and charging, me. Then, even after the hotel’s front desk person went out of her way to clarify that it was just me and that I didn’t need nor use a second room, Hotwire (truly owned by Expedia) had me stuck on a phone loop of blame passing back and forth to different people for 2.5 hrs, only to never (still haven’t refunded me. Worst customer service experience EVER!!!!

My trips tab

My trips tab always shows blank. I have to logout and log back in to see my trips. It is frustrating.

App Changes Make It Unusable

The current location doesn’t work and they removed the map option for search results which makes knowing the locations difficult when reviewing the results. Better off using another platform.

No support, does not work in Canada

Can’t switch to Canadian dollars because you need to enter a postal code and it only presents a number pad.

So you are left booking Canadian hotels in US dollars and have no idea what the exchange will work out to.

Broken links in the app so you can’t read reviews.

Just very poorly done and has a scammy feel.

FAQ

What kind of deals does the app offer?

The app specializes in exclusive, last-minute travel deals for hotels and cars. It features 'Hot Rate®' deals where you select criteria like star rating, location, and amenities, and the exact hotel is revealed after booking. You can also find app-only coupons and discounted pricing.

How do Hot Rate® deals work?

With Hot Rate® deals, you choose your desired star rating, location, amenities, and price. The app then reveals your deeply discounted hotel after you complete the booking. In some cases, you'll be shown two potential hotels and guaranteed to stay at one of them.

Is the app free to use?

Yes, the app is free to download and use. While the app itself is free, it does offer in-app purchases for booking hotels and rental cars, which are the core services provided.

What are the benefits of using the app over the website?

The app offers several advantages, including app-only coupons, discounted pricing, and the ability to draw your ideal neighborhood on a map to find hotels. It also allows for easy syncing of trip details to your calendar and features a new deal widget for quick access to weekend getaways.

Can I book travel for far in advance?

While the app focuses on last-minute deals, it also covers bookings for weeks in advance. Hotwire has you covered whether you're planning a spontaneous trip or booking ahead of time.
