Hotwire Guarantees Lowest Hotel Rates Available on the Web
Confused by the myriad of hotel
savings claims and price guarantees? Look no further. Discount travel site
Hotwire.com guarantees travelers the lowest prices on hotels, with savings of
up to 60 percent off published rates and prices lower than what is available
anywhere else -- including hotels' own Web sites and other online travel
agencies.
"Even in New York City, known as one of the most expensive and in-demand
markets for hotels, Hotwire still offers substantial savings on hotels
compared to other sources," said Scott Hintz, Hotwire's senior vice president
of product. "Recently a 3-star hotel in Midtown East that Hotwire offered for
$233 was $300 more on Travelocity -- $579 -- and priced at $409 on Orbitz.
This is for the exact same hotel."
Hotwire's hotel savings aren't limited to the Big Apple. In the popular
family destination of Orlando, Florida, a 3.5-Star hotel near Universal
Studios and Sea World was priced at $62 on Hotwire, while a room at the exact
same hotel was nearly twice as much on Orbitz and Travelocity, costing
$120 and $129, respectively. A 4-star hotel room near the Dallas Galleria was
just $54 on Hotwire, but the same hotel room was $99 on both Orbitz and
Travelocity. Additionally, just outside the nation's capital in Alexandria,
Virginia, a 3.5-star hotel room that was $56 on Hotwire was nearly twice the
price -- $109 -- on both Orbitz and Travelocity.
By helping its hotel partners sell empty rooms, Hotwire is able to pass on
substantial savings to its customers on thousands of hotel properties in the
U.S., Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and Europe. Hotwire customers can rest
assured that they are paying the lowest available price for hotels. In fact,
Hotwire's discount hotel rates are backed by the industry's most aggressive
guarantee. If a customer finds a lower rate within 48 hours of booking,
Hotwire will refund double the difference.
Not only does Hotwire guarantee the best-priced hotels on the Web, Hotwire
also offers an easy way to find, compare and book hotels. Travelers have
increased choice and detail on their hotel booking, with the price shown up
front; no bidding is required. When booking hotel stays on Hotwire, customers
can search many different neighborhoods and star ratings, enabling
price-driven travelers to choose and compare among Hotwire's deeply discounted
rates.
After selecting dates for their hotel stay and desired destination,
travelers can select up to five neighborhoods to search simultaneously.
Hotwire displays hotel search results including amenities such as beachfront,
fitness center, spa services and restaurants, and enables customers to search
by price, star rating or neighborhood, based on their preference. Hotwire's
customer favorites feature provides even greater insight, with reviews and
comments from travelers to help customers determine the best value.
