Refund

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Requests refund or credit for travel insurance $157.18.
  • - Cannot provide info due to HIPAA and legal reasons amid a life-threatening emergency for their son.

I purchased travel insurance from you and you want to give me a Credit and I need my money. Youre asking for information that I cant provide because of Hippa Laws and Legal reasons.

This process for $157.18 is ridiculous, especially because Im experiencing a Life and Death Emergency for my Son. I will continue to Complain and contact anyone and everyone until I receive the money refund I deserve because of following your rules on the Cancellation Insurance Policy

Loss:
$157
Cons:
  • Taking advantage of their customers

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Don’t purchase Insurance through Orbitz, they have a third party that’s not following the policy for Cancellation Insurance

Orbits is selling insurances for car rental that do not exist.

When you use them and file a claim the insurance company, Travel Guard Group says that the policy doesnt exist.

I think orbits is selling fake insurances and pocketing the money.

Of course when you call them there is no option to talk to an operator.

Its a well articulated scam.

DO NOT BUY INSURANCES FROM ORBITZ!!!

I purchased Cancellation Insurance

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Orbitz canceled the Southwest flight and gave a credit.
  • - Orbitz account is locked; they demand doctor records for $157.18 under HIPAA.

I purchased cancellation insurance from Orbitz and followed the policy to cancel my flight for Southwest. They instantly gave me a credit instead of a refund.

After speaking to Southwest, Orbitz has my account locked so they can't process a refund. I have a detrimental family emergency and they want doctor records that I can't provide because of HIPAA laws for $157.18.

Loss:
$157
Pros:
  • There is no pros this company is a con
Cons:
  • Cancellation insurance is for them not the customers

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Don’t Book through Orbitz, they are not Customer Service Friendly

Paying for seats in advance but not being able to pick them

Updated by user Dec 25, 2025

Be aware that you may or may not get the seats you pay for in advance.

Original review Dec 10, 2025

The website offers the option to pay for seat selection but doesn't allow me to select those seats. If I wait till check-in, as suggested, there will be no aisle seats left.

Preferred solution: Seat selection that they bill you for.

User's recommendation: Be aware that these companies want to bill you for something they don't provide.

Emergency

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

A flight was cancelled and a new one had to be arranged immediately. My wonderful orbitz rep-whose name I think is Jamie-handled everything seamlessly, both the new booking and the refund.

User's recommendation: Choose Orbitz!

Not reliable and not professional they don’t know what they are doing

I made a reservation for a overnight stay, when I got to the place someone else was staying there and I was stranded with my family in another country without a place to stay because Orbitz double booked the place

No pick up

Orbitz need to check their companies they use better. Booked and paid big money for rental car.

Arrived and no car for us. Ruined our vacation and still no response about a refund. Poor service.

Used so many time over the years. Will never again with this servicedo

Car rental reservation

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

They wound up refunding the full amount after calling using this phone number. Thought I was calling orbitz directly but this sure got the job done!

User's recommendation: Make sure you are ultra careful in making car reservations with orbitz.

I was charged twice for the same rental. It was only supposed to be $268 through orbit.

I wound up getting charged 500 and some dollars and my son got charged an extra $369 on his card. all orbit did was refund me $194 for the cancellation fee and I still havent seen the money.

Booked hotel said virtual card you submitted is not good but Orbitz was paid

Orbits charged our credit card, but did not pay the hotel the full rate. They said that the virtual credit card orbit sent was not good.

User's recommendation: If I could give negative stars I would do it! Nothing resolved. Orbitz charged our card but didn’t pay the hotel.
