Hotwire is a discount travel site designed to move airline flights, hotel rooms, cruise reservations, and rental cars that haven’t been sold in a more traditional way. To use Hotwire, simply go to their website (www.Hotwire.com) and enter the dates you will need a rental car and where and when you will pick it up and return it.

The site will then provide you with an array of prices for different types of cars (Economy, Compact, etc.). You don’t get to see which car rental company is actually providing the car until you select the car you want and pay for the rental.

According to Hotwire policy, the fee for renting the car is charged to your credit card at the time of booking, and all bookings are final
