We work with our US and international partners to get the best rates on hotels, cars, flights, vacation packages and cruises. And we’re sure they’re the lowest prices you’ll find.

Within 48 hours of booking, if you find a lower rate for an identical booking, we’ll pay you the difference between the rates.

Things to know:

• The Low Price Guarantee applies to standard/retail and Hot Rate hotels, cars, flights, vacation packages and cruises booked on Hotwire.com. It does not apply to activities or other services.
• The lower rate you find must be available. Some sites display rates that are not actually available when you try to book. Rates that are only available to the members of certain groups (such as AARP, AAA, group rates, corporate rates, and convention rates) are not eligible for the Guarantee.
• The lower rate must be available to the general public.
• The lower rate you find must be in the same currency as your original reservation. We will not convert rates.
• Unless otherwise noted, all Low Price Guarantee refunds are made in the currency in which the bookings were made.
• For flights, this Low Price Guarantee pertains to the flight’s total booking amount, including any associated taxes and fees.
• For vacation packages, (i.e. Flight + Hotel, Flight + Hotel + Car, Flight + Car, or Hotel + Car booked together as a package on the same itinerary) each part of the package you booked on Hotwire.com must match each part of the package found at the lower rate. The Low Price Guarantee pertains to the cost of the package, plus all taxes and fees.
• For cruises, the Low Price Guarantee only pertains to the cruise fare based on double occupancy and does not include government taxes, on-board credits, shore excursions, fuel supplements, transfer charges or insurance fees. When factoring in government taxes, on-board credits, shore excursions, fuel supplements, transfer charges or insurance fees, we do not guarantee that the total amount you pay Hotwire will be lower than the total amount you might pay elsewhere.
