Our verdict

Priceline is a wide booking desk rather than a narrow single trip product, selling flights, hotels and car rental from a single site. It suits travellers who want to price flights, hotels, cars and packages together rather than visiting separate suppliers, and the company has been running since 1997.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • A single site sells flights, hotels and car rental, so a flight, its hotel and a rental car can be priced together
  • Mandatory fees are already included in the displayed total price, so the search price is the charge
  • Cancellation carries no charge on most hotels and rental cars
  • A mobile app is listed, and support runs through chat and help centre

Cons

  • Support runs on chat and help centre, and no phone number appears in that list
  • Cancellation carries no charge on most hotels and rental cars, so flights, cruise and tours, which also sit in flights, hotels and car rental, need their terms checked

Visit

Who it suits

  • Travellers booking a flight, a hotel and a rental car together in a single search
  • Anyone who wants the mandatory fees inside the displayed total price rather than added at checkout
  • People who are happy with a help centre and chat, since support runs on chat and help centre

Who should look elsewhere

  • Anyone after a bus ticket alone: FlixBus covers bus and stops there, so a general site adds noise
  • Travellers who need a car and connectivity on a holiday island: Hertz Bahamas WiFi covers car rental and transfers
  • People who want plainer fee wording: Latam Travellers states it has no hidden fees and no contracts, which is easier to read than a total with fees folded in

The company behind it

Priceline is operated by priceline.com LLC, a company registered in the United States and founded in 1997. Support runs through chat and help centre, so day to day questions are answered in the help centre or in a chat window. The same entity takes the booking, which matters if a fee or a cancellation needs checking against the terms.

How Priceline compares

Frequently asked questions

What can I book on Priceline?+

Priceline sells flights, hotels and car rental from a single site, so a flight, a hotel, a rental car or a package can be put together in a single search. Cruise and tours sit alongside the flight and hotel lines, so a land and sea trip can be priced in the same place.

Are there separate booking fees at checkout?+

Priceline says mandatory fees are already included in the displayed total price, so the price shown in search is the price charged and no fee line is added at the end. Packages are the most common extra on 84.8% of the sites in the booking group, so compare what each total covers.

Can I cancel a booking?+

Cancellation carries no charge on most hotels and rental cars, and the wording stops at most. Flights, cruise and tours also sit in flights, hotels and car rental, so read the terms for those lines before you pay rather than assuming the same rule.

How do I reach Priceline if a booking goes wrong?+

Support runs through chat and help centre. The help centre carries the policy detail, such as the mandatory fee wording and the cancellation terms, and a chat window handles live questions. No phone number appears in that list.

Is there a mobile app, and how common is that?+

A mobile app is listed, so a trip can be searched and paid for away from a laptop. In the booking group, 80% of the sites carry an app, so a mobile flow is normal here rather than a differentiator.

Who is Priceline a good fit for?+

It suits travellers who want a whole trip priced in a single place rather than a single leg, and who can manage bookings through written support. Support runs on chat and help centre, so anyone who needs voice contact should weigh another option first.

Who runs the site and where are they based?+

The booking is taken by priceline.com LLC, a company registered in the United States and founded in 1997. It is a long established name in travel resale, and the same entity handles the booking, which is where fee and cancellation questions are settled.

How does Priceline compare with a specialist?+

Priceline covers flights, hotels and car rental in a single place, while FlixBus covers bus only and Hertz Bahamas WiFi focuses on car rental and transfers. A traveller after a bus ticket, or after a car and connectivity on one island, gets a narrower and clearer choice from a specialist.
