Social responsibility
At Hotwire, we believe that being part of the travel business includes the responsibility to take care of our world. As global citizens, we aim to build community, foster sustainable travel, support charitable organizations, and have some fun while we're at it.
Our initiatives and programs include:
Carbon offsets from TerraPass
In order to help balance the impact that travel has on the environment, we partner with our customers to fund emission reductions. When customers purchase offsets through our program with TerraPass, they pay half of the cost that TerraPass normally charges - because we pay the rest.

Community service day
Our annual community service day is a great opportunity to engage with our surroundings, work together, and take a break from the office. This program has been around since our inception, and past projects include cleaning beaches, repairing parks, tutoring children, making birthday cards for senior citizens' centers, and assisting in food banks.
