Orbitz was started by five major airlines in order to develop a better travel website that displayed a comprehensive list of fares and rates. The company is part of Cedant Corporation, a publicly traded company that also includes other travel industry leaders. They specialize in flight, hotel, rental car, and cruise searches, but they offer much more--especially travel guides.
Their rental car search includes the largest possible selection of car rental companies. Car + flight, and car + flight + hotel package deals also are available.
Their award-winning flight search engine searches more than 455 airlines and they have a low fare guarantee. Expand your search with options such as multi-city trips, nonstop flights, one-way flights, preferred airlines, travel class, and more. They also have flight + hotel + car and flight + hotel packages. Their "flex search" lets you search for the lowest weekend fares, see what you can save by leaving earlier or later, and find the cheapest days and times to travel.
Their hotel searches include tens of thousands of places to stay worldwide. Hotel + flight + car, hotel + flight, and hotel + car package deals also are available.
A wide variety of package deals are offered for flight + hotel, hotel + car, and flight + hotel + car packages. The site also includes travel guides and other information to help you plan vacations.
