INCOMPETENT FOOLS Incompetent fools. I purchased a ticket with the special price for seniors/disabled. Ok, so upon purchase the pop up requires you to send documentation within 3 hours. (send either gov. ID (Cédula), gov. Disabled ID, or Passport if foreigner) I sent my gov. issued ID 10 minutes after purchase. The next day, a young lady called and sent an e-mail requesting documentation. I re-sent the cédula. Then, an e-mail came requesting documentation for someone other than me. I responded that this must be an error. Even later, the same young lady called, and even recognized my voice, which flustered her, and she continued to ask that I send my ID. (which I did....for the 3rd time). The next day, I received an e-mail stating that the reservation was not made due to lack of documentation. ok, I get it, Despegar. com is incompetent...I will purchase the ticket elsewhere, and never return.

Efficient and Expedient Efficient and expedient website for renting a car in Brazil. There were lots of reasonable choices and insurance is built into the price unlike the US. Thanks!

Pay for a package to Cartagena which… Paid for a package to Cartagena which gave me an option to include a yatch sunset sightseeing trip, turned out to be a random boat, which didn’t honour what was stated on the contract. packages are sold by despegar lacking monitoring of who are their local providers.. so if you buy a yatch trip whatever provider pick it up despegar will honour. not making sure what’s being stated on the small printing…

Hard to contact The only email I received is this one asking me to evaluate them. Not only I didn't get a confirmation after paying US$2300, it's hard to reach the company: US number is busy (huh?), Argentine number requires a reservation number (how should I have it?). It's definitely not a scam website, but if something goes wrong, you're on your own. Reservaction number could be 668512091500 (from URL history)

Change of Booking I would like to make a change in my flight ticket booking but I cannot reach Despegar on their Customer Service number. Can an agent from Despegar please contact me urgently as I need to make the change within the next 48 hours. I will provide the booking number once I have been contacted.
