Hotwire Overview

Our mission

To deliver superior value to our travel consumers and partners and foster a fulfilling, collegial work environment for all of our employees.

Who we are

• We are travel value retailers. We offer a powerful combination of quality travel products and services at low prices.
• We are focused. Everything we do every day is for the single purpose of exceeding the expectations of our Travelers and Travel Partners.
• We are efficient and productive. We do more with less. Period.

What we value

• Each other. It’s a privilege to work with a group of such good, smart people.
• Enthusiasm. We are dedicated to our work, our travels, and pretty much everything else we do.
• Results. We take action. We get things done.
• Collaboration. Individuals don’t make great companies. Teams do.
• Fun. Without it, the rest doesn’t matter all that much.

Our initiatives and programs include:

Carbon offsets from TerraPass

We partner with our customers to fund emission reductions. When customers purchase offsets through our program with TerraPass, they pay half of the cost that TerraPass normally charges - because we pay the rest.

Community service day

This program has been around since our inception, and past projects include cleaning beaches, repairing parks, tutoring children, making birthday cards for senior citizens' centers, and assisting in food banks.

Grants, sponsorships, and gifts

Employees can nominate organizations they care about for twice yearly grants, or ask Hotwire to sponsor events for charities. Expedia, Inc. will also match employee gifts up to $5,000 per year for eligible charities.

World Heritage Alliance (Expedia, Inc.)

The World Heritage Alliance is a collaboration between Expedia, Inc. and the United Nations Foundation in consultation with UNESCO's World Heritage Center. The initiative aims to raise awareness of World Heritage sites, encourage sustainable travel, and support local economic development.
