GB!!Car rental scam at Loreto, Mexico, Airport!! !!Car rental scam at Loreto Airport!! Do not book a car rental through Orbitz, Expedia, or other 3rd party agent when reserving a vehicle in Loreto!!!!! If you do, the car rental counter staff at the airport will tell you that Orbitz, Expedia, etc. “never sent them the reservation and that they don’t have any vehicles.” Which means that you must go to all the other car rental agencies to see who has a car and how much it will cost. One car rental company staffer wanted to charge $880 for 5 days and another wanted to charge $1200 for 5 days!!!! Since someone in our group spoke Spanish, she was able to get one person to agree to $440 for 5 day – still twice as much as the original reserved price of $230. Shame on you, Loreto car rental agencies!

GBJetblue flight was cancelled while we… Jetblue flight was cancelled while we were on our first flight. It happens, made it home via greyhound. Trying to get our refund a month later has been an absolute headache. Hours between Orbitz chat and phone, they wouldn't refund directly so reach out to Turkish Airlines and Jetblue, and they keep saying to contact the other (reservations all under Turkish Airlines, Jetblue operated second plane). Orbitz support is all Indian. They won't listen to anything you say but go through their 'process' will never work with them again. They should be helpful instead of an obstacle.

GBDon't book!! Was trying to book my husband's and I 40/50 birthday trip to Vegas and they charged my card for a hotel/flight package and I didn't get an itinerary number. So no I have to wait for the charges on my account to drop to rebook. Customer service was no help and now we are prolly gonna have to pay more! Frustrating and disappointing!

GBFrustrated with Orbitz Customer Service Rented a Eurocar in Italy thru Orbitz in June 2023. My credit card was overcharged $75.00 from original booking confirmation from Orbitz. Spent over an hour talking to Orbitz customer service agent located in Egypt tryiing to get an explanation and a refund. The agent finally told me he could not help me with the overcharge problem and I would have to call the rental company. No longer will rent thru a third party.

GBAgents either don't know, or don't want to implement airline restrictions/policies properly. We had to three-way call in an airline representative to explain to the Orbitz agent that we were allowed to make changes and that there were flights available to book the changes. Only then were we able to actually get our flight rebooked. Seriously. Book directly with the airline. It costs less. You will see more flight options. The features and restrictions of the tickets will be more transparent. Finally, in my experience the airlines are more helpful when you need assistance. And *that's* a pretty low bar that Orbitz fails to clear. I've been an Orbitz user since late 2001. I'm out.
