"Got good deal"

"My go-to for hotels or cars"
I use Hotwire's Hot Deals to shop the cheapest rental car, as it usually doesn't matter who you use as long as it's one of the majors. In cities that I'm familiar with, I'll use the hot deals for hotels, as I'll usually have a good idea what specific hotel it is depending on what part of town it's in. For non-Hot Deal rates, I find that they're really no cheaper than any of the major travel sites, so no value for me there.

"Refund in the wake of COVID-19"
I have read so many bad reviews as it relates to getting a refund due to COVID-19. Honestly, I really felt from reading all the bad reviews that my money had taken a one way trip. First of all, I booked a Hot Rate deal which normally does not allow any cancellation or changes. However, due to COVID-19 exceptions were made. It is true that when you call, there is a long wait and you may even have your call disconnected after a long wait. However, if you check Hotwire's website, there is information on how to cancel your reservation for a car or hotel, and yes even if your reservation for was a Hot Rate Deal online. It will take some time to work through the process, but it does work just be patient. I followed the instructions and cancelled my reservation 48 hours before I was to pick up my car rental. I was advised I would receive an email in three days to confirm my cancellation. I did receive the email, however, it was about two weeks later. The good new is, Hotwire has assured me that I will get a refund in the form of a Hotwire credit towards a future rental. Per the email, this process could take up to 30 days. I have no problem with waiting. Just wanted to share my experiencing in trying to obtain a refund due to COVID-19. Just be patient. Hope this helps someone.
"Best prices for car rental"
Much cheaper than booking through the company site. I looked at enterprise and avis site before looking at hotwire and was shocked at how much more expensive it was. Will always book through this site.

"Cool"
Huge discounts on hotel bookings, ticket bookings and car rentals makes hotwire my favorite travel site. I highly recommend it.

"Use them all the time"
My wife and I use Hotwire all the time and have yet to be disappointed. Note, that you should really only be booking 4 star and above hotels and have a general understanding of the area and you should come out alright. There's always a risk involved with these type of things, but if you do your homework you'll get a great deal!
