Are you victim of Hotwire International Car Rental Fee Class Action Settlement?Then visit ShaharSettlementAddressUpdate.com to submit a claim for refund.
Hotwire is a discount travel website that provides online booking service for air ticketing, vacation packages, car rental, and hotel rooms. Often, it enters in to contracts with customer to provide services for a certain price or estimated price excluding insurance fees and taxes that means when customer arrives at airline ticket counter, hotel check-in desk, or car rental desk, they have to pay significantly more price than contract price. As well, this thing does not mention in company contract, that’s why Daniel Shahar initially filed class action lawsuit against hotwire in the U.S. District Court claiming that the company misled consumers by offering an estimated price for international car rentals that did not include insurance fees and taxes. He claimed that hotwire not only provided consumers with an “estimated trip total” but also informed consumers that the estimated taxes and fees would be equal to $0.00.
However, Hotwire rejects the claims but agreed to settle the class action lawsuit for avoiding the expense and doubt of ongoing court case. It has agreed to pay $130,000 to settle a class action charging it misrepresented the price for international car rentals. Shahar’s class action lawsuit not only targeted hotwire but also its parent company Expedia. Afterward, Shahar filed a revised class action lawsuit that listed Hotwire as the solitary defendant. Hotwire hunted ineffectively to dismiss the class action lawsuit a second time. After all informal discovery process, the parties started mediation and reached a settlement earlier this year and signed final agreement of settlement on 13th March, 2014.
As per Hotwire class action settlement documents, approximate 1,089 Class Members will receive the benefits of settlement after final hearing. If the case will be won by Shahar, then hotwire will pay $130,000 to resolve the lawsuit. The amount is more than estimated revenues that company earned by misleading customers.
