Get The Best Deal Using Last Minute Hotel Discounters

Wotif.com, the last-minute hotel discounter that you saw on Beat of Hawaii this week, was recommended today on Arthur Frommer’s blog.

In addition to Wotif, we also use last minute hotel discounters Need it Now (Australia and New Zealand only), and Rates to Go which is owned by Orbitz.

Our Strategy:

If we’re not happy with the deals on these sites, we’ll sometimes call the hotel directly to see if a lower rate can be negotiated. It never hurts to ask.

This may work because the hotel will not have to pay a commission if you book directly with them.

It is always preferable when possible, in our opinion, to have contracts be directly with the service provider and not with a third party.
