Launched in 2000, Hotwire negotiates deep discounts from its travel suppliers to help travelers book unsold airline
seats, hotel rooms and rental cars at significant savings. Hotwire is an operating company of Expedia, Inc. (NASDAQ
: EXPE).
The Hotwire Mission
Our mission is to offer unbeatable low prices on airline tickets, hotel reservations, car rentals, vacation
packages, and cruises. Through our partnerships with leading travel companies, we can get customers ridiculously low prices.
How does Hotwire work?
Our partners allow us access to their unsold inventory -- empty seats on flights, empty hotel rooms, and extra cars
on the lot -- at big savings. By showing the name of our travel partner after customers book, Hotwire can get them
travel deals that are significantly below published prices.
