LastMinuteTravel Review



As the name obviously imply, LastMinuteTravel.com can help you find a good deal at the last minute or otherwise. This includes hotels, flights, cruises, and car rentals.

Aside from that, the website also offers customers a range of packages, activities, club options and coupons, all for a budget-friendly price.

The website has a simple design which allows customer to maneuver around easily. They also provide hotline numbers for those who need to ask further questions and you can even sign up for email alerts so you can immediately be in the know for the latest deals.

“Great site for a variety of last minute travel deals including hotel, airfare, and activities. They sort deals by what type of trip you're looking for at the price you want to pay. Whether it's a wining and dining excursion in NYC or helicopter lessons in Dallas, they have packages for thrill seekers and luxury connoisseurs alike.”

"I LOVE www.LastMinuteTravel.com. I have booked our last two 4 to 5 star hotel stays with them and have absolutely no problems with our bookings.

The site works very similar to how PriceLine.com works – you input your destination, travel dates, and desired star rating of a hotel, and LastMinuteTravel.com will show results based on your criteria. The only downside? You have no idea what the actual hotel name is, other than the approximate location, star rating, and price. You will also see a brief description of the hotel and some photos of rooms and the lobby, etc.

Considering that you save sometimes up to 50% to 70% off the rack rate – it’s worth it!"

Top 21 Deals


LastMinuteTravel.com requires a registration for booking any of the deals. But don't worry because you don't have to pay anything for this. It is actually one of the few last minute travel sites that don't ask for service fees. However there are charges for paper tickets and itinerary changes, and this can cost around $25.

Getting registered also puts you at an advantage because it allows you to manage your itinerary for future travel plans.

The website may be able to provide some of the best prices on airfare, but usually this was only a few dollars less compared to the top rated services. Also their "Top 21 Deals" usually refers to hotel rates and not other services.

Customer Mix Reviews?

BEST:The top 21 deals.

WORST: Some listings only offer a picture of the outside of the hotel.”

-- forbes.com

Customers provide mixed reviews for this travel site. Some say that they had no problem with their bookings even after using their services for several times already. While others say that it ripped them off, and that they were not really honest with the price quotes they provide.

The terms provided by LastMinuteTravel.com does not indicate anything about additional taxes and fees that come along with your purchase. So you end up believing that you have a good deal in your hands, but finding out later on that your card will be charged with more.

But for some savvy customers, they advise that calling the site's 1-800 number can help you land 10% off on certain hotels with very good accommodations. They say that if you just know how to use the site, you can land yourself with great deals. There are some cases where the deals are not listed as available, but you can actually ask help from them to contact the hotel or other packages to confirm the rates. You can either get denied or accepted, but when you do get the deals, the discounts can be pretty impressive.

My Conclusion

Overall, the pricing provided in the website is actually competitive with other travel sites around. They have a website layout that is easy to navigate ridding you off the headaches involved in last minute planning. They also offer more flexibility when it comes to schedules and itineraries compared to most. It is however disappointing that the deals which sounded too good to be true are really riddled with hidden charges. This can stress anyone who are planning on a tight budget. But what is worse is that some have it already charged to their credit cards and finding out too late about it.

Before making any transactions read the terms of agreement very carefully and ask first if you have to. This saves you from the trouble of ridiculous card charges later on. Some customers actually commend the customer service of the website, so do ask questions first and clarify everything before booking.
