    Priceline presented option for RC rental car (Orlando) and a good price which ended up being a bate and switch offer. Paid no refundable fee and was provided terms and conditions of RC rental which didn't state they only accept/work with 4 insurance companies if you have an accident. American Family is not one the companies on their list. So either you lose your non refundable charge or you buy their 3rd party insurance. You are stuck at a remote lot not at airport on a Zoom call. There is no physical agent there. I got the cheapest insurance that I could and ended up paying more than just renting direct from a national rental change and avoiding priceline.com. Priceline.com told me it isn't their problem. I gave them the documentation that they provided me about the terms and conditions of RC rental car but they said nothing they can do about it.

    I purchased a package from Priceline for my husband to travel to a funeral in Silver City, NM. I had booked airfare from Indianapolis to El Paso on United Airlines, a rental car through Budget so he could get to Silver City, NM and a hotel. When my husband arrived at the El Paso airport and went to get his rental car, the Budget counter had a sign that indicated that all patrons were to go to Avis. When he went to the Avis counter, he was told that they did not have the car he reserved and gave him a Jeep. This Jeep was completely unsafe, and made such loud noises while moving that you could not hear the radio. He called me so I could hear the noise and he had to yell into the phone so I could hear him. The car was completely unsafe and should not have been rented.

    When I called Priceline, I was told that since my husband "changed the reservation without calling them" there was nothing they could do. When I finally (after sitting on hold for approximately 25 minutes) spoke to a supervisor, she told me that she would "escalate" the matter. Now, here is my husband with over a 150 mile drive in an unsafe care and they would "escalate" the matter. I will never ever use Priceline again.

    I wouldn't recommend using Priceline. Their services are very shady, unpredictable and often a scam. Our last time using them, we booked a car rental through their company. We did not receive the car we booked, the car was dirty and wrecked and the company, Allied Car rental was a complete scam. Check out their reviews. Priceline defends this company, won't do anything about our terrible experience except write the same pre written response about contacting the car rental place and awaiting a response, and still advertises them on their website even though they have thousands of poor reviews in just a few months.

    I booked a rental car on Priceline.com. The name of the car rental agency they assigned me was AMERICA CAR RENTAL on 5124 W Cypress St, Tampa. Fl 33607, (also known as) SONIC ENTERPRISES LLC (aka) CAR RENTAL CONSOLIDATED. Priceline charged me $108.00 for 6 days for a mid-sized car which I thought was a great deal. I arrive at Tampa Intl Airport and I had to take an elevator to the ground level, go outside and call America Car Rental to send a shuttle to pick me up and take me to their rental agency.

    I get there and I am like 3rd in line. I hear the woman at the counter complaining because they did not take her auto insurance which required her to purchase THEIR insurance. Then the guy in front of me was yelling and complaining because they wanted to charge him an extra $500.00 for auto insurance. He walked out. I said to myself, "What am I in for?" Sure enough, I get to the counter after waiting in line for at least an hour only to be told they don't accept my auto insurance (Amica), plus I had to pay a $500.00 security deposit, plus I had to purchase the toll package. They said if I refused the toll package, then they had to charge me an extra $25.00 for not purchasing it.

    What started as $108.00 for 6 days ended up to be a $294.00 bill. After at least an hour and a half later I finally was able to get my rental car. The only good thing I can say is although the car had a huge dent (photo attached), I liked the ride and had no problems with the car. Also the drop-off experience was seamless. I received a survey from AMERICA CAR RENTAL. The survey had no link to click on and some words in the survey were misspelled (I attached a photo of the survey). I attached a photo of what the sign outside of the car rental agency looks like. Evidently, there are more than one company in this agency. Very unprofessional. Next time, I will rent my car directly through Enterprise or another reputable company. I will never go through Priceline again.

    So basically Priceline is useless. If you call the hotel nine times out of 10 they have cheaper deals than Priceline. They overcharged you then on top of that they don't help you get your money back if you don't like the hotel. If it's bug infested. Dirty. No clean sheets. Priceline literally can't do anything for you so I'm not even sure what they're for besides to overcharge people. I wish I would have known this before I actually use them because I never would have.

    Terrible experience with Priceline. Booked a hotel on Priceline for Quality Inn and prepaid. Upon arrival, the hotel was unsafe with entry doors left open and no attendant anywhere! Found out they stay open 24 hrs a day as they’re broken. Place was filthy and unsafe. Priceline was notified and they refused to do anything to rectify this situation and continue to keep the hotel listed on their booking site. Will never use Priceline again.

    We were quoted a price online of 275.00 for a car rental that Priceline advertised for a car rental agency called Advantage in Ft Lauderdale, Florida. When we arrived at the airport we were shuttled to some dump car agency about 5 miles from the airport. We were forced to buy insurance even though we are fully insured by our insurance company. We were told that it is state law to purchase insurance. We were supposed to get a 2025 Acura but instead we got a 2022 jeep. A real piece of crap.

    We were told that the only vehicle available was the 2022 Jeep. So now the 275.00 Priceline quote turned into a 895.00 rental. Keep in mind that Priceline quoted 275.00 all fees included. When we got home we contacted Priceline and we were told that there was nothing they could do because we signed the paperwork. Had I not signed the paperwork, they were going to call the police and have us charged with theft of services. Priceline did nothing to help us. My advice, DO NOT USE PRICELINE!!!

I put the dates I wanted and all the information they asked for then I was waiting for the amount that was quoted in the add. Nothing was coming up except for credit card information they wanted ~~ SHAME ON ME I put in the card information thinking I would get the amount of the hotel and I would then make my decision on confirmation or not. But they immediately Stole my money!!!

    I saw the amount of the hotel which was not the amount advertised after all the fees and I immediately backed off the site and called the customer service for Priceline. They did nothing after several emails exchanges but kept my money!!! I never ever confirmed the transaction and Capital One Credit Card said once I put the card number on the site it was over!!!

I had an issue where a check was sent to me and got lost and I had to call for six times back-and-forth with the customer service department trying to reach out to their accounting department that is taking several weeks to even look over my claim for a lost check.

    This is a fraud website. Be careful of the fine print time when they inform you you have a specific number of hours to cancel your flight; they do not mention the time zone or when you can cancel the flight on the ticket. You will spend more than the ticket fee to cancel and you will not receive your money back. I would not advise any customer to book through this website; I never do myself. Running their company this way is unacceptable.

    I booked a rental car through Priceline for what was advertised and I believed was the total cost of $180 with having to pay taxes and airport fees at the location. When I arrived to pick up the car from America Car Rental, I was shocked to learn I had to pay an additional $401 — more than double what I had already paid.

    Here’s what happened: America Car Rental refused to let me use my personal car insurance, even though I had sufficient coverage. They claimed it was mandatory to purchase their insurance. They also forced me to rent a SunPass transponder, with no option to decline — another fee that was never disclosed at the time of booking.

    I immediately contacted Marie, a supervisor at Priceline, to try to resolve the issue. She told me there was nothing Priceline could do and advised me to take it up directly with the rental company. This experience was a complete scam. Priceline misrepresented the total cost, failed to disclose mandatory charges, and refused to support me when I encountered this dishonest behavior from one of their partners. I feel completely deceived and taken advantage of. Until Priceline takes responsibility and ensures transparency in its pricing, I strongly recommend others avoid booking car rentals through Priceline or America Car rental, you may end up paying hundreds more than expected — with no help once you're on the hook.

    My most nightmare was dealing with Priceline customer service and support staff. I booked a hotel from Priceline and payment did not go through and hotel confirmed reservation was not made, but later I saw money was taken out. I call multiple times and Priceline agent told me that she will process refund, after 10 days, I call Priceline and agent said no one has process refund and agent confirmed that you don’t get refund due to no show. Later I talked with hotel and hotel processed refund to Priceline account. Now they have to issue a refund and then I call Priceline agent and then agent said I need to contact some department. Anyhow whole process was such a pain and that’s why I will recommend customer to book hotel and flight directly through company, not through third party. Price are also pretty same with a company. I will never ever recommend family and friends about Priceline.

They charged me $10 a day for using my own insurance. I returned the car early and they penalized me. They took my deposit and charged me extra. I was charged over $600 in addition to my initial rental fee. This is unacceptable.

Upon arrival at 1:30 AM April 6; I informed “Keanu” at the front desk I would be finding another hotel closer to Manhattan in the morning. He said he understood; and that the hotel would not hold me responsible for the reservation. He said that I should contact “Priceline” for a full refund!

    In the morning I checked out; and was told by “Paris” at the front desk; that They would honor my checking out due to “Priceline’s” error in booking their hotel! She stated that “Comfort Inn” would not hold me to the reservation of 3 days. She said reach out to Priceline for a refund! In contacting Priceline; they told me that the hotel is holding up my receiving a refund. This is not true! I contacted Paris at Comfort Inn; she said that Priceline was holding my money and that the hotel was ok with me receiving a full refund.

    Absolutely terrible experience with Priceline — feels like FRAUD. I came to Toledo for one of the most critical moments of my life — my father’s kidney transplant. We booked a hotel through Priceline after speaking with one of their agents who promised us a suite with a kitchenette and two rooms with two beds. That was the ONLY reason we booked through them. When we arrived, nothing was as promised. No suite, no kitchenette, not even the correct bed setup. We immediately called Priceline and spoke with a supervisor who refused to resolve our issue, even though we didn’t ask for a refund or discount — we just wanted them to make it right. We asked for an upgrade or a new hotel, and they did nothing.

    On my second call, the agent claimed their “system was down” and couldn’t even find my reservation — yet I had already spoken to someone just minutes earlier who had full access. This is false advertising. This is bait-and-switch. This is unacceptable. When you’re traveling under emergency circumstances, you rely on companies like Priceline to deliver what they promise. They didn’t — and worse, they showed no care or urgency to fix it. Shame on you, Priceline. #PricelineFraud #FalseAdvertising #NeverAgain #ToledoTripRuined

    We reserved a car online using Priceline. When we arrived at this Avis location rental counter, we were informed that because I had an out of state drivers license I had to have a second form of government issued ID to receive the car. I did not have this, and could not get it because I had just flown in. Priceline did not notify us of this, and we never received any communication from the location saying this would be required. We were now stuck in a city that was an hour drive from our vacation spot with no transportation and all other locations were out of vehicles. When we called the main Avis hotline for support, we were told that because the Springfield location was an "independently" operated facility they could make up their own rules and there was nothing Avis could do. Avis also made not effort to make things right and help us find a new rental car.

    Additionally, Priceline made no effort to help us. On Avis' website it says "OUR ONLY PLAN IS TO MAKE SURE YOU KEEP YOURS" They did not live up to this in any way. This location apparently has this problem so often, they have a 50" TV in the office saying "If we can't validate your credentials we cannot rent you a car". This location should be contacting everyone who makes a reservation, they should lose their Avis credentials, be removed from Priceline, a combination of those, or all 3. I will NEVER rent from Avis again. Up until now, they have been my go to agency.

    I will NEVER book on here again. I thought it all seemed easy until I noticed that it defaulted to a set of dates that I did not plan to stay. So I tried to cancel and can't find anywhere that I can do this or to change the dates to make the original booking right. This is literally minutes after I accidentally booked the wrong dates. So I booked the right date with a new order. Now, after looking forever to find a number to talk to someone (because the automated system would not fix it... they would but they were going to charge me $100), I finally got Penny to give me the number to call and I'm holding. I don't know what the outcome of this will be when they finally pick up the phone. I've been holding for 15 minutes.

    Worst experience ever booking a trip!! This company has no business ethics. We bought a package through their website, paid for an Airline upgrade. Got our receipt for the purchase, stating exactly what we have chose. BUT the email from the airline showed the basic option that we had upgraded at booking time and not what we had paid for. We called customer service to fix the problem. They were useless, the best thing they said was our system didn't book your choice, it booked basic economy, I requested a refund for the upgrade and they denied. Their best offer was to cancel and rebook, which means about $500 more. Red flags everywhere, they are scammers. Thanks God we are in the 24hr free cancelation period. Stay away from Priceline. I decided to write this review to prevent people from getting into their trap.

    I rented a car through Priceline and it was one price, when I arrived to Tampa Florida from Toronto to get the car there was more fees added from Sonic Car Rental which I was never told..The car was double the price and then was told good luck on trying to get your refund.. I would be very careful with renting through Priceline and Sonic Car Rental which is America Car Rental in Tampa Florida..

    I will never use Priceline again. Their cancellation policy is bad and unclear. If you do book with Priceline, NEVER pre-pay or you're hosed if you need to change. It's never worth the very few dollars that you'll save to pre-pay. Mine was a car rental which everyone in the world allows for cancellation without losing your payment but not Priceline. You're always better off using Expedia. Their website is better and they are much more open and flexible about cancellation refunds.

    Never booking with Priceline again. I’ve been a regular customer, but my recent experience was terrible. I accidentally booked a hotel through them and immediately reached out to cancel. They kept telling me to call back every 24 hours — which I did for weeks. After three weeks of back and forth, they suddenly told me they couldn’t issue a refund and that I should contact the hotel directly. When I called the hotel, they said Priceline had to handle it. It was a frustrating loop with zero accountability. Priceline clearly doesn’t value loyal customers. Avoid them if you want peace of mind.

    Very Bad experience. We booked a family of 4 Spring Break trip --flight and hotel- to a resort in Cancun. Flight were not an issue at all. We showed up at the resort and they only had my wife and me on the reservation. We were told that to have my kids stay at the resort was an additional $1600 (all-inclusive) and to move rooms it would cost and additional $1037 dollars. (Moving from a King to a double bed room) I had to pay for all the additional expenses to have my two children to stay and sleep on a bed.

    So I called PriceLine... Priceline was not helpful at all in making it right. They passed my around multiple times (over 15 + phone calls at 25+ mins a piece) and gave me a partial refund--$1600. They did not honor the room change based on how their system allows you to book any room regardless of if it can accommodate your party of not. Their system glitch in not having my kids on the family package was seen as my issue--so very frustrating.

    PriceLine leadership team does not take calls, emails, or any other forms of commination other than mailing letters. All 15+ calls resulted in my talking with a supervisor--never once was a manager or above on the call, responded to emails, etc... I would not ever book through this company again- my POV is that you go with a company to help with your booking to make the initial process easy and IF there are issues, they can help resolve it. That is not Priceline's operating platform. They are very quick to take your money and let you work out the challenges that happen.

    Priceline and a hotel double charged me. As soon as I discovered it I contacted Priceline and tried to resolve this. They requested a copy of bank statement which I immediately provided (a screenshot). They didn't react for weeks. Then I called them again and they said they want bank statement with bank logo on it. Again, immediately gave it to them. Then they said this is not good and they need a copy of my card and a copy of transaction. They also told me that they contacted the hotel but the hotel was not responding. I asked for a proof of that and they never provided it to me. When I contacted the hotel, they told me that they never heard from priceline re this case. Every time you call them it is a new person with a new, difficult to understand, foreign accent. They do not keep notes on file so you have to start from zero every time. I finally called my bank and reversed the transaction. Never use them.

I sent the "customer service representatives" four forms of documentation from my doctor, including my Paxlovid prescription and after 1 week of requests the reply came back that they were not going to give me a refund and in fact were charging me the full price of the room!!!! This is a dishonest booking company and hotel management. There are many other higher quality and lower priced hotel options in Berkeley to use. STAY AWAY from this hotel - as they also said they did not care if I came with a serious case of Covid and did not mask and stayed there - so it is a serious health hazard to use them.

    First time ever booked with Priceline, last time will ever book...and I have traveled for years! Rental Car agency was the colossal, catastrophe, horrible, problem and experience. Two Huge, Stifling Problems – 1) Couldn’t find the correct physical location of the car rental agency, Routes, allegedly at the Hollywood/Ft. Lauderdale airport (or AREA)! Without success, I tried to reach Routes by phone several times at 954-900-4536. The address was not correct on the Priceline Itinerary nor any website! The address listed everywhere for Routes is 321260 SW 26th St., Ft Lauderdale FL 33315. My son and I drove to that address, found it to be some type of building. We then drove to 260 SW 26th St., Ft Lauderdale FL which is an individual house! We drove to the airport (Hollywood Int’l airport). I, (handicap with a brace on my knee) walked through the parking garage, dodging concrete barricades to get inside to the airport rental car center areas.

    After randomly asking server people, no one had ever heard of Routes or York car rental which had also been mentioned. Finally, one person said shuttle bus C goes to Routes but they did not know the physical address. We drove back to the off airport rental agencies that we’d passed – they were all concentrated side by side, but there was still no Routes. Driving to turn around somewhere, I happened to see Routes on the side of a building. Went inside and the person said Routes used to be there, but they moved. That person gave me a little piece of paper with Routes current/correct address, 2600 SW 3rd Ave!

    My reservation was at 10a. It took me from 9:30a to approximately 11:20a to find the correct Routes car rental address. The line was long, wrapped around, and several patrons had the exact same horrible, stressful, exhausting story/experience as me. It took another hour in line. We all said never again, we just want to get our rental car and then never again!!! Such inefficiency: hidden fees and charges isn’t worth it because ultimately, you’re going to pay possibly close to the same in the end, but no headaches!

    2) When we finally found Routes car rent, there were “hidden fees and charges” and/or no disclaimer’s on the Priceline Trip Itinerary stating there could be more charges/costs at the rental company itself. I selected unlimited miles as I was driving to the Orlando area. Routes (whose rep said they have a “separate contract”) said there is a 50-mile limit per day for “locals”. So I had to pay whatever they charged or I would not get the rental car! Don’t know who’s the blame, Priceline (for not having disclaimer’s) but definitely Routes/Stride Rent a Car (https://rentcar.rent) who Routes appears to be under the umbrella of Stride. I didn’t know anything about “Stride Rent a Car until I got my final bill in email. 3) Also, according to what I read on-line, there is a senior driver discount of $9.99/day plus tax. No one; Priceline, nor of course Routes rental car, said a word about that discount!!!

When we reached out to priceline, they claimed we were no longer entitled to the carry-on because WestJet changed the contract—yet no notification or update was ever sent to us. Their customer service was unhelpful and dismissive, offering no solution or accountability.

All I was told was that I was not gonna get a refund. Shame on Priceline.

    Deceptive Pricing & Hidden Fees – Avoid Priceline! Priceline’s car rental prices are misleading. They advertise rates as low as $9–$24 per day but don’t disclose the mandatory $350 deposit upfront. Nowhere did it mention this crucial detail, leaving me blindsided when I arrived in Vancouver late at night. Especially as someone new to renting a car taking the deals for face value.

    With only my debit card, which the funds I had, they refused, and only accepted VISA I was stranded. No rental, no way home. I was livid to say the least! I spent the night dragging my suitcase through downtown Vancouver like a homeless person until the trains started at 6 AM. Hotels? Outrageous—$180+ a night, plus massive deposits I couldn’t afford. Exhausted, frustrated, and out of options, and angry at the world I had no choice but to wait it out and sat at 3 park benches and Dennies on Davie St all night, fell asleep with the rest of the questionable drunk charters sleeping with their mouths open and half eaten sausage and pancake breakfast on the table. While they refunded my rental, (PRO) the experience was miserable. Priceline needs to be upfront about costs—don’t fall for their deceptive pricing! Seem to be everywhere these days!

    January 15, I thought I was booking a reservation directly with a hotel. Come to find out it was Priceline/Getaroom/Guestreservations all the same people. I was charged $4,700.50 for a reservation I did not make and though so have done everything asked to get it refunded I continually am told they can not verify with the partnering hotel. The hotel it self has sent a cancelation letter but Priceline who charged my card continually says they have to verify with the partnering hotel. They also tell me they can't find my reservation (which is a nightmare get through their customer service). If I don't have a reservation how did you charge me $4700.50.

    Booked a trip through Priceline and purchased their travel insurance. Our return flight was cancelled due to weather which was supposed to be covered by the insurance. Ended up staying 2 extra nights until we could be rebooked. When I put in the claim I was told it wasn't covered because the airline had already rebooked a flight. So all expenses incurred for the 2 extra nights were my responsibility. I asked them why they would have an insurance company like that. I was told to deal with the insurance company because there was nothing they could do. I would not recommend priceline to anyone and definitely stay away from their travel insurance. If I could give no stars I would.

    Priceline will hide hidden cost, they will not inform you that you must pay hotels/resorts additional fees for amenities and they will hide that fact that airline baggage cost are not included in the package paid for. My itinerary indicated, "Standard: carry-on baggage, check baggage, travel services" to my surprise, I was inform by the airline that my departure and return tickets did not include luggage. I had to pay an additional $500+ for luggage, each way. Priceline informed me that the "$" symbol in front of each listed baggage mentioned, indicated that they were not included. When reaching the hotel, I was informed that I had to pay $25 per person to use the amenities. The Priceline packages are a scam and they are using clear deception practices.

Then after I found a flight to rebook they said it would be 500.00 more. I went straight to Delta who informed me all those things were not true and they rebooked for me using my Priceline credit. They just try to get more money from you and the airline would not see a penny from it. My advice, DO NOT use Priceline or any 3rd party. Book directly with airline or a travel agent.

    We didn't even know that we were being sent to Priceline for the booking at the Flagstone Motel in Port Angeles! As we were booking for our specific dates, it said "free cancellation" in a box on the first page (see photo). Then, on the payment page, there were links to "cancellation policy", but we did not think we needed that because we had seen "fully refundable". Then we got the confirmation email where the cost was twice what we had expected and it said "no cancellation". We immediately called to cancel, but they said no. We called the motel, and the guy said "sure", we will approve the cancellation, but Priceline keeps saying that they can't get a "positive response" from their hotel partner. Absolutely fraudulent.

When I contacted the hotel from the airport to let them know we were delayed but still coming the Hilton hotel representative stated that I did not have a valid confirmation number, the hotel was sold out and they could not provide me a room. I also had the wrong contact information for the car rental agency. After more than 8 hours of delays with Jet Blue we left and went back home. Priceline stated that they would issue me a refund. They never did and are now responding to my credit card company that because I "cancelled" the trip it was non-refundable.

    Purchasing car rental through them felt like a scam. First, they offered me driver's insurance for an additional $10. When I got the receipt the insurance wasn't listed but my card was charged with the insurance amount added to it. Then when I got to the car rental office, the car I had paid for was NOT available (it had to be an SUV for 8 people - which the car category in the receipt clearly stated). They had no customer service available, their car rental office was managed by a different local car rental business that had no power to help me. The owner of the car rental was kind enough to rent me his own car for the cost already charged because he felt bad about my situation.

    After the car was returned, I received no notification from Priceline about the situation, plus I ended getting charged extra by the local company that I had to pick up the car from. Another battle to fight. This is a company without a face. Worst travel experience so far. They take your money and hide. Please do NOT give them business. Go directly to the car rental companies.

    We’ve been on a cross country road trip to take mother back home to NC, and now the return journey to Texas. I always book exclusively through Priceline while traveling- as Priceline has always done right by us, and this was especially needed on this trip traveling with my 81 year old mother. Alas each hotel has had issues. Starting with our first night of our trip in Meridian, MS where we booked a 2 queen room to arrive and be told that “Priceline has it marked wrong, it’s not our fault” and led to my 81 year old mother sleeping on a pull out couch. I was NOT happy.

    Our next night found us in Madison, GA at a sleep in with “high ratings”. The only thing high was the hotel staff! Our bathroom door didn’t close (which left my mom and my husband having to leave the room when the other used the restroom. The TV didn’t work- when reported to the front desk we were told “it’s late, you don’t need a TV”. The next morning we again tried to speak to management about the issues in the room. The young lady at the front desk looked at us and stated “and”… we were in shock.

    Stupidly, I decided to give Priceline another chance on our return journey. Sadly, my husband and I stopped in Pelham, Alabama at a sleep in where we were greeted by hotel staff telling us Priceline didn’t pay the full amount and told me I had 2 choices 1. Paying what they said was owed, on top of what I paid Priceline or 2. Losing the money I paid via Priceline and finding another place to stay at 11pm. I was too tired to fight last night, so I paid and went to bed (on the hardest bed ever). Upon check out this morning I asked for a receipt, which the hotel refused to print for me stating I paid third party they owe me nothing. I reminded them I paid additional to the hotel, they told me it was against practice to provide a receipt.

    So lessons learned: 1. No matter the ratings on Priceline, it’s a LIE. Hotels are not as advertised in comfort or cleanliness and especially friendliness. 2. Never, and I mean NEVER, stay at a Sleep Inn. 3. Not all thing in life should be played by baseball rules (3 strikes, you’re out) and after the first bad experience, cut your loses and cut your ties to Priceline. Unlike the past, Priceline was not helpful and in the long run the hotels they choose to do business with tarnish their name. I’ve been a VIP Gold member with Priceline for over 10 years- ridiculous!

Despite the cancellation being beyond my control, Priceline refused to refund me, kept my money, and provided no solution. First, their customer service was unhelpful, telling me it was “not their problem” and that I should contact the hotel directly. However, when I reached out to the hotel, they confirmed that Priceline was responsible for the payment and only Priceline could process a refund. When I called back Priceline, they still refused to help, repeating their “policy” like robots instead of resolving the issue. Even the customer service manager was completely unhelpful and dismissive.

    This is an outright scam and unfair business practice. I paid for a service I NEVER received, and Priceline is keeping my money with no accountability. I checked the Better Business Bureau (BBB) complaints, and I am shocked to see thousands of similar cases reported just in the past few days. This is not an isolated incident—it’s a systematic scam designed to trap customers with rigid refund policies while profiting from unfair cancellations.

    I have already disputed this charge with my credit card company and filed official complaints with the BBB, FTC (Federal Trade Commission), and consumer protection agencies. I will continue to share my experience across social media and travel platforms to warn others. ⚠️ I strongly advise everyone to AVOID Priceline at all costs!

    I used to be a Priceline fan for many, many years…until they refused to give me a refund. I attempted to cancel online and the system would not let me, so I called their number and was connected to a 773 area code (Chicago). The operator advised that I cancel directly with a hotel, which I did. Instead of two nights I canceled the first night and was only to stay on the second night. This was approved by the hotel manager. I also was advised by the Priceline agent to call them on the day of checkout to let them know that I only did stay one night and that I got the approval. I have called and wasted multiple hours to get a refund from Priceline, a refund for the first night that I canceled and that the hotel did not even charge Priceline for.

    Priceline tells me that there is a third-party that has to approve the refund and because the third-party declines to refund, then there’s nothing that Priceline can do about it. I believe that this is unacceptable considering I booked with Priceline, I did not book with the third-party. Therefore, Priceline should be responsible for giving me a refund. They refuse by saying, sorry, but they hope that I will still continue to book with them in the future. That is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. Good luck if you decide to book with Priceline and try to get a refund for a hotel stay that you canceled. Priceline needs to do better and be better. You have just lost my business.

    Priceline gets your money, promotes whatever hotel on their website, and their customer service does not even care about your serious incidents. After 41 days of neglecting my requests, I am writing my review for others to consider: I experienced a serious incident of discrimination, unprofessional conduct, and service denial that occurred at the Fort Worth Downtown East location (Address: 2425 Scott St. Fort Worth, TX) on January 31, 2025.

    Incident Details: 1. I had a valid reservation made through Priceline for January 31 - February 3, 2025. 2. Upon arrival at 3:00 PM on January 31, after a 300-mile drive from Houston, your staff member: - Refused to honor my prepaid Priceline reservation - Claimed the card reader wasn't working and demanded cash payment - When I requested the ATM fee be deducted from the room charge, she became hostile - Made discriminatory comments about my immigration status - Shouted and cursed at me in front of other guests - Threatened to call the police when I attempted to discuss the situation professionally - Ultimately denied me access to my prepaid accommodation

    This incident raises several serious concerns: Discrimination based on perceived immigration status. Violation of your corporate policies regarding guest treatment. Potential violation of civil rights laws. Unprofessional conduct by staff. Failure to honor a valid third-party booking. Creating a hostile environment for guests

    Your staff member's conduct was not only unprofessional but potentially illegal, as discrimination based on national origin is prohibited under federal law. As someone who had already paid for my accommodation, I was shocked to be treated with such hostility and disrespect at a major American hotel chain. Also, Priceline promotes these hotels without mentioning the poor neighborhood!

    Very disappointed. Booked a room while traveling and the directions provided by Priceline did not take me to a hotel. Pulled into a gas station for directions & were told there is no hotel. It was dark on a dark 2 lane highway. We went ahead & booked in the next town. I called 4 times to customer service. The first person agreed there was no hotel. The next 3 said there was and I stayed in the hotel in a room #206. We didn’t. Never found the hotel. Wonder whoever they gave my paid room to got around my ID since, I was carrying mine? No refund. Just “too bad so sad!” Bad hotel service and bad customer service policy from Priceline. (Agents were ok, by the way.)

    I used Priceline to prepay a non-cancelable SUV rental in GSO (Greensboro, North Carolina). I arrived at the airport only to be told they don't have any cars. There were 7 people waiting ahead of me that also had reservations, but no car was available for them. My options were to wait until 8 cars were returned, and take whatever car was returned, or rent from someone else at a higher last minute rental. I had to take the other car company's rental and it cost me more than $150 extra for a small car. The woman at the Budget counter told me this happens all the time.

    Priceline is nonrefundable. They partner with insurance so you can receive credit if your trip needs canceled. The insurance has so many requirements and they immediately decline your request. This is a scam to make money off people.

    I reserved a car using Priceline to attend a conference. When I tried to cancel the $24 a day car because I could not attend, the car reservation happened to be nonrefundable, despite the reservation mentioned that if I purchased a $13/day protection I could cancel any minute. After I made the reservation (and nowhere on the site said it was nonrefundable), I received an email that looked as if all was ok, but for the fact that there were extra $56 in fees, which I assumed had been the $13 protection for 4 days plus tax. When I tried to cancel a month later (and a month ahead of the conference), the car was nonrefundable, a customer service rep told me (after snickering at me several times) that he could not give the customer details about the nature of the fees and that I had never contracted the $13 protection policy. After the call, they even sent me an email confirming my reservation, the one which I asked to cancel. Extremely frustrated and disappointed.

    Priceline hooks you up with DANGEROUS car rental companies. You don't realize it when booking, but you are renting from car rental companies that rent "wrecks". The "off-site" rental place (York Car Rental) in Tampa, Florida gave me their business card which said "Rent-A-Wreck". Not only was the car a "wreck" it had two warning signs. One about tire pressure and the other said "Air Bag System not working". I only slept 2 hours the night I picked it up because I was so worried about the car rental. I sent a message the next day with pictures of the warning lights. They tell you they are aware and to drive it. I was too afraid to drive it, other than back to the rental site on my trip return.

    Absolutely Terrible Experience – Priceline is a Nightmare! I had the worst experience booking with Priceline, and I will NEVER use them again. First, I made a reservation for a hotel, but when I arrived, the hotel had no record of my booking. I called Priceline’s customer service, and after being on hold for over 45 minutes, I finally spoke to an agent who was rude and unhelpful. They claimed they couldn’t find my reservation and offered no solution.

    After I insisted on a resolution, the agent abruptly hung up on me. I called back, only to speak with another agent who, once again, provided no help. To top it off, when I asked about the price of the hotel I had booked, they told me a completely different (higher) price than what I had originally paid. The agent even lied about the original price, making it clear that Priceline has no respect for its customers. I had to pay much more for a last-minute room, and they refused to take responsibility for their mistake. Priceline has terrible customer service, their agents are unprofessional, and they are completely dishonest about their pricing. Avoid this company at all costs – it’s a scam!

    First I want you to understand that I needed to travel from palm beach to Long Island because my brother was dying, so I booked flights, hotel, and car rental through Priceline, everything was ok for Monday overnight Tuesday returning, my niece called me and said Monday she thinks will be too late, is there anyway you can come sooner.

    I paid Priceline in advance for airfare, hotel, and car rental for a total of $1279.00. So I called Priceline and was told that the air, hotel, and car was non refundable and non changing. So I booked direct with jet blue for Saturday to Monday for extra $50 per person, I was lucky to get a nice person, the hotel was a different story they couldn’t do anything because I went through a third party (Priceline) so I had to pay for the room myself, the same with the car rental. So be careful with Priceline with their policies non refundable and non cancellation. I also purchased insurance and was told by Priceline well you will have to make a claim…. Good luck..

If there is anything wrong with the hotel, especially something major, they will do absolutely nothing to support you. They put everything back to the local hotel. If your booking is with the hotel you will least have the ability to deny the credit card charges, but due to Priceline’s terms, you are left with no case. We tried dealing with them on a hotel that promised us a refund and then declined to follow through. Priceline’s staff didn’t return calls as promised and did absolutely nothing to support me.

    I stayed at this location for 6 nights. Upon check in I was informed by the kid (I don’t use that phrase lightly) at the front desk that there was an additional fee of $172. What I negotiated with Priceline was a final bill. Not a penny more. I was very adamant about that, but as I was backed against the wall, I had no good choice but to accept that fee, even though I was there on business and I told them I was not going to use the amenities of the resort. That was a resort fee that should’ve been disclosed. Then the next surprise.

    There is the tower and then behind it is a much older building which went about 3 buildings back towards the rear where it’s very isolated. I told them I wanted to stay in the tower. That would be an additional $30 per night! I was appalled that they did this, but yet my arrangement with Priceline was final and even THEY didn’t know this when I called them to discuss this. Priceline did attempt to fight these charges for me, so I do not fault Priceline. They managed to get them to relinquish $50. Which I have yet to see on my statement.

    Although my room was clean and it was comfortable, the fact is that financially according to the agreement they do not honor that and anyone who is planning on staying at this resort needs to know that you will be unpleasantly surprised when you go to check in and find out how they nickel and dime you this way. Priceline was very apologetic to me and I appreciate that they did go to my defense. I hope this review will help some of you out here who book This hotel and that you don’t have to find out the hard way about their booking policies. If I had read on my contract with Priceline that upon check in that all of these additional fees would’ve been charged, I definitely would’ve gone elsewhere. The photo below is my bill with the final tally before they hit me with all the extra charges. I would’ve paid another $350. Give or take. Nothing in their ad stated that the tower was $30 a day more to stay there!

When I realized what they did, I canceled the reservation (less than 2 minutes after I booked it). The fee for canceling the reservation was $422, so they refused to refund me my money.

    After hearing back from them about their refusal to refund my money, I asked them to just reverse the cancellation. I told them for that kind of money, I might as well take the room.... at least I would only lose $122, not the entire $422. They told me that they could not reverse the cancellation. On top of it, they said that it was the hotel's rules and that the hotel received the money. I called the hotel and they have no record of the reservation.

I was not reimbursed and had to rent a car from another company. Additionally, the hotel I had booked, which was supposed to be a "spa," was under renovation, and I was not informed. I had to leave with my family and contacted Priceline, but they did not offer any assistance or reimbursement. The response I received was that they could not help me. I booked everything through this company and was extremely disappointed. I do not recommend Priceline to anyone, as my experience was terrible. Stay away from them!

    I will never use Priceline again. I booked a flight as my son was in an accident in a coma with traumatic brain injury, and the flight was delayed, I spent over 12 hours in airports altogether, but Priceline did nothing to rectify the situation. To make it worse, I purchased $30 trip protection insurance but according to Priceline “that insurance only covers life and death situations”, so they’re scamming people into purchasing what they claim is trip protection but doesn’t protect your trip.

    Traveling alone with my teenage daughter. Left our hotel after one night to due to safety issue, security was aware as well as front desk and they understood. Texted Priceline chat that evening and no response. Purchased another hotel through Priceline for the same night. Took photos of issue and Priceline refused to refund our hotel stating the Holiday Inn manager says there was no note of us leaving!!! Absolutely unacceptable.

    I booked hotel through Priceline. Long story short the hotel gave us a room that was not clean. And couldn’t find another room for us because their computer was running end of day. I advised the front desk clerk that I wasn’t comfortable staying and she said, "No worries, just have Priceline cancel it." I booked another hotel and called Priceline to advise. After going through their back office process, they denied the cancellation. They said the hotel was not approving. I explained the situation and reopened. They continue to decline my request. They say the hotel doesn’t approve it. And there’s no way for them to process a cancellation without an override code from the hotel.

    I’ve had to call the hotel and get the name of somebody who approved it. I’ve provided that to Priceline and yet they continue to decline. Their partner that does this is in China. And can only send emails because of the language issue. I’ve told them repeatedly the name of the person they can talk to at the hotel. They then asked me to request a written approval for cancellation from the hotel. I’m fed up. It’s not my job. And I’m the customer! I finally got a supervisor to call the hotel and he heard himself that they are approving the cancellation. But he requested it in writing. I have no faith that this is going to ever get resolved! Horrible, horrible back office and customer service!

    I wouldn't recommend Priceline. I paid extra for assigned seats so my daughter Would be able to sit next to me during a 9 hour flight. Lufthansa said that priceline never confirmed the seats so my seats were sold to someone else. The flight attendant told me to hold on to my boarding passes so they can be used as proof. When I called priceline they immediately told me that this isn't their issue. I need to call the airline.

    Finally after being on hold for a long time I was able to speak with a manager who informed me that they will do an investigation. They asked me for copies of the boarding passes which were emailed to them. Everything I followed up they said that they are still investing. After 3 months or so to when I called they said that the refund is being processed. The trip was in August 2024 and we are in February of 2025 and they never issued a refund.

Because we had non refundable plane tickets & hotel reservations before and after this stay I even called their customer care team to get reassured this was a firm reservation. The agent assured me it was solid & a done deal (I even wrote a very positive review for her giving me the peace of mind that everything was confirmed).

    Ten days later (8 days before we were to travel) I received a call from Priceline telling us sorry, there were no rooms available at this resort for the days we had confirmation! The man said we can help you get another reservation on another part of the island but not in Poipu as there is nothing available. This will be our 20th anniversary and it meant something special to my wife & I to stay in Poipu Hawaii again. I will never use Priceline again and do not recommend anyone else does as well.

    My experience with Priceline has been unsatisfactory. I purchased insurance with the expectation that it would cover emergencies; however, I found that claiming a refund was excessively complicated. To have my request considered, I was required to provide a doctor's note containing personal medical details. This requirement seems unreasonable, especially when one purchases insurance for protection against unforeseen circumstances.

    Additionally, my interactions with customer service were disappointing. Communication was often unclear, and I encountered representatives who appeared uninformed about the policies. I have been attempting to resolve this issue for two weeks without success. Based on my experience, I recommend that travelers consider booking directly through airlines or hotels, as this approach may provide better deals and more straightforward terms. I would advise against using Priceline or their insurance.

    I booked a vacation package through Priceline (Trip Number: **) and just five minutes after booking, I realized that I had made a mistake with the reservation date—My trip was actually scheduled for the following day. I immediately contacted Priceline customer service and explained the situation. The representative assured me that it would not be a problem and that the best solution was to cancel everything and rebook with the correct date, as Priceline would issue a refund. Following their advice, I canceled the initial booking and made a new reservation with the correct date. However, I was shocked to find out that Priceline only refunded the flight and car rental but refused to refund the hotel, despite their own representative assuring me that the full refund would be processed.

    To make matters worse, I contacted the hotel directly, and they confirmed that they had no issue with issuing a refund. However, since the booking was made through Priceline, the hotel cannot process the refund directly, as Priceline is the one handling the transaction. In other words, Priceline itself assured me that I would receive a refund, the hotel confirmed that they would allow the cancellation, but Priceline is still refusing to return my money. This shows a lack of transparency and disregard for customer service. As a loyal customer, I expected a more honest and flexible approach, especially in a case where the mistake was noticed and corrected within minutes. If Priceline does not resolve this issue and continues to refuse the hotel refund, I will take further steps to report this practice on other platforms and reconsider using their services in the future. I expect an immediate resolution.

Pretty sure - I have a ticket I cannot use - and likely will not be able to book the same flight for my wife, same cost, etc - just because AutoFill used her Maiden name and not Married Name. Yes - I do take ownership for not realizing the error - but as easy as they take their "share" you would think they can fix this.

    After I accidentally booked my trip one day further out than I planned on staying I was able to remedy it with Priceline but it was not easy until it was. I did not know how long I was staying due to health issues either so I piddled for the middle and chose a date blindly like Russian Roulette. That's the way I leave. I suffer from PTSD for several reasons. I booked my flight through Priceline. Not my hotel. I did get a rental car but I had to end up ubering because of web service until I was able to connect. That was at the motel I stayed at. Level 8/ Super 8 Motel. I'll include the review and address here to. Priceline is easy to use but it doesn't always automatically connect and I prefer to use a safe network. On with the motel....

    I have stayed here in the past. Nice Motel. Great staff. They're renovating. My only issue was that the manager said there is breakfast in the morning at check in but there isn't but we all lie. So what, small price for a great stay. Additionally, there is a rental fee but you get that back at check out. They don't tell you when you check in but it's a language barrier perhaps or the way it's explained. Gets lost in interpretation. Manager called my room and apologized. I was heated to say the least. I felt hella better after she called. Enjoyed the rest of my stay.

    Cleaning staff is helpful but many don't speak English- go to the office for assistance. Quick trip - health related. I accidentally booked my trip an extra day out but was able to get a flight one day earlier. Did not accomplish what I needed to do. LA at least Inglewood is not as busy as it used to be but I've said that previously. It's a shame. Beautiful city with much to do. Intuit and Kia stadiums are great. Lots of entertainment. Best part about the town, I was able to walk freely both day and night without problems. I caught a bus back to the airport the day I was returning home. Easy peasy - short walk from the hotel but I only had a purse and bookbag. It's doable with a small suitcase or duffel in my opinion.

The pictures looked great. When I arrived the hotel was NOTHING like the listing so I called Priceline and let them know there were roaches in the room and trash just swept in piles in the hotel hallway as well as general construction and moldy smell throughout the hotel. The hotel would not refund me due to the fact I had not canceled the day before check in per their policy. I had expected Priceline to help since their site is where I had booked and they had a scam of a misrepresentation of the hotel.

    I was told by the first employee I spoke with they could give me a 50% refund if the hotel wouldn’t refund me the next day when the manager was in, but the next day I was told that wasn’t possible and they could only give me a 20% coupon for a future booking. I obviously had to rent a room at another hotel for the 2 nights I was traveling so I basically just lost hundreds of dollars on the first hotel booking because they would not refund me. All of the customer service people were very difficult to understand due to being located in a foreign call center and did not seem to care at all about the situation. This was a special trip for my daughter and it really was quite upsetting.

However, the flight I was offered was more than that which I found online. To change ($199) and difference (700) after tax and fees. Insurance only covers Covid, which is over. There is NO option to use partial or full credit toward any future flight. I had to know dates of future flight and arrangements have to be finalized before the original date of flight. It is set up to make sure you lose the value of your ticket if you need a change.

    Tried to book a trip with Priceline for the first time today. Complete nightmare! They misrepresented which flight we booked and erased our shuttle. No customer service whatsoever. Don’t use them! This shouldn’t be stressful.

    Be diligent when booking through Priceline. The confirmation process asks for a credit card to make your reservation, just like any other hotel/car rental/booking. What I didn't realize (and what they did not make clear) is that you are paying hundreds of dollars just to use Priceline's website, and will later be charged hundreds of dollars by Hertz (or whatever rental you go through) to pay for the fees associated with the rental car. Up front I was under the impression that the quote given by Priceline is what I would pay, not being told that Hertz would pile on their own slew of charges for the same reservation. There are a bunch of hidden fees, and I honestly feel like I just got scammed by very misleading advertising. Do not use Priceline if you don't want to be swindled.

    I have been using Priceline for many years (10+). I have never had a bad experience with using Priceline. Their pricing has saved me a lot of money when booking both hotels and rental cars. I am very careful to read customer reviews and monitor the stars shown for each booking and that has helped me not worry about my accommodations. I love using the app and will continue to do so for many years.

    If I could give zero stars I would. Accidently made two reservations and they wouldn’t refund my money on the extra one. Complete crap company. Do not use them for anything. Greedy company. Just $200 to them. They read the policy to me. Told me they would cancel the reservation but not refund my money. I will give them bad reviews every day until I get my $200 worth. Priceline sucks!

    Booked through Priceline for a guaranteed 4.5 star room the night before the inauguration in DC. Hotel did not have my reservation on arrival. Turns out Priceline booked through another 3rd party website. Called customer service and spent 1hr and 46mins on the phone trying to get my money back and get a hotel room. They were trying to book me into a 3 star hotel in downtown DC. No. They goofed and didn’t want to pay for their goof up. Told me the other hotels that were 4.5 stars cost too much for them to book. They also kept offering me rooms in hotels that were sold out. My phone finally died and I ended up having to find my own hotel. Will NEVER use Priceline again.

    Priceline service is very poor. Would give less than one star if I could. I had a death in the family and needed to cancel. The actual hotel approved the cancellation but Priceline is holding on to my money. Don’t use them.

    The worst experience I have ever had. They sold me a ticket with a documented baggage and seat choice and the airline didn’t recognize this. They never refunded me the baggage charge I paid Even when I called them and emailed them many many times.
