Low-Price Guarantee

We work with our US and international hotel partners to get the best hotel rates. And we're sure they're the lowest prices you'll find.

Within 24 hours of booking, if you find a lower average nightly rate for the same hotel,travel dates, and room and bed types , we'll pay you the difference between the rates.

Things to know: The Low-Price Guarantee applies only to hotels booked on Hotwire.com; The lower rate you find must be available. Some sites display rates that are not actually available when you try to book; Only one refund under the Low-Price Guarantee terms will be granted per household per six-week period; This Low Price Guarantee only pertains to the nightly room rate exclusive of tax recovery charges and fees. We do not guarantee that the total amount you pay Hotwire will be lower than the total amount you might pay elsewhere, factoring in tax recovery charges and fees.

How it works: Getting your refund is quick and hassle-free. To submit a Low-Price Guarantee refund request:
  • Visit the "My Account" section on Hotwire.
  • After you've signed in to your account, find the hotel booking you want to submit a request for. Under Low-Price Guarantee, click "Request refund."
  • Complete and submit your form. Please note the link will only show for Hotwire Hot Rates for 24 hours after booking.
  • Once we receive your request, we will confirm the availability of the lower rate you found. After verifying the lower rate, we will issue a refund in an amount equal to the difference between your Hotwire average nightly rate and the lower average nightly rate. Expect your credit within 10 business days. The credit will be issued to the card you used for your Hotwire booking.
Rates that are not available to the general public (including but not limited to AARP, AAA, group rates, corporate rates, convention rates) are not eligible for the Guarantee.

Terms and Conditions: The Hotwire Low-Price Guarantee applies only to Hotwire Hot Rates and is available to anyone who books one or more room nights from Hotwire. We will give you the price difference if you find a lower total nightly rate for the same hotel and the same dates (based upon average cost for entire timeframe of hotel stay, excluding taxes, tax recovery charges and fees) from another source within 24 hours of your Hotwire booking. You must also submit your request within 24 hours of booking.
