Orbitz failed to stand behind the reservation cost it quoted Orbitz made a car rental reservation for me, and included how much additional I would have to pay upon pickup. When the car rental company charged me more than that and I reported it to Orbitz, they threw up their hands and said I had to deal with the car rental company. This begs the question why deal with Orbitz in the first place.

Stay away from orbitz and expedia..worst service ever Never had so many problems flying in my life.. And the worst time.. Celebrating my wife's birthday. We bought an all inclusive package to cancun and day before going back they changed our flight so we ended up loosing a whole day and missing our plans for last day... Then we were allowed to bring carry on bags and when they changed the flight we had to pay for our carry on wich is ridiculous.. I would not recommend anyone buying with expedia or orbitz... Worst service ever.. By the way gave them 1 star because there was no ZERO starts option...

Car rental vehicle didn't exist I ordered a car rental, I arrived at the location and they told me there was no cars available. The minimum expectation when ordering a car rental is that the rental company have the vehicle available. If nothing is available, I expect to be contacted about this problem before I travel to pickup the nonexistent vehicle. When I contacted Orbitz they could only offer to cancel. Better to book direct.

Jetblue 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.

Agents 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.
