About Hotwire
Hotwire inspires spontaneous travel through Hot Rate® deals. At Hotwire, we believe that travel enriches lives, which is why we were one of the first online travel sites to work with suppliers directly to book unsold inventory. Because of these relationships we can offer customers deep savings on hotel rooms, rental cars, flights and vacation packages—and the chance to travel more. (source expediainc.com)
