Travelocity Reviews
Anyone who has ever watched prime time television has heard of Travelocity. With their humorous Traveling Gnome commercials, they’ve made themselves a household name in travel booking. Owned by the online travel corporation, Expedia, Travelocity has been dedicated to helping consumers “wander wisely” for over a decade.
Their 24/7 customer support and their wide variety of services, including a well-designed mobile app for travelers on the go, makes Travelocity one of the top choices for the budget-friendly vacation of your dreams. Based in Houston, Texas, Travelocity offers you the ability to book, travel, stay, and move on all from a single website.
REVIEW
Because Travelocity is one of the big names in online travel booking, consumers expect them to be knowledgeable about all the deals and packages that can be found. But is this trust misplaced? For most users, the answer is a resounding no. Travelocity’s great features are easy to use, and offer any kind of traveler plenty of ways to book their perfect trip.
Travelocity is one of the few free travel booking websites that features package deals that include car rentals. This makes it a very popular choice for business travelers. Travelocity themselves don’t charge any fees for changing or cancelling your booking, and their deals section gives you the information you need to score the best budget flights and hotels possible.
Travelocity also offers a travel insurance option, which can help you recoup the costs of cancellations, lost luggage, and medical care that you may need when outside of the country. This option is available for anyone who purchases a Trip package through Travelocity.
This isn’t to say that Travelocity is without flaws. You must search by specific dates, rather than a range of possible dates, when looking for flights or hotels. Most consumers report that Travelocity’s prices are not the lowest that can possibly be found, either, which doesn’t bode well for the traveler on a strict budget. They do have a “low price guarantee”, but you’ll have to search the web for the lowest price yourself and bring it to Travelocity for them to match it.
Many users also found the online website to be confusing, and the extra features like the desktop app can be buried in the site map. The site does allow you to sign in with your Facebook account for quick sign up, which some users find convenient.
