SideStep Review

I was first introduced to SideStep when it was in it's "infancy" about 8 years ago.  My supervisor loved using it to make travel plans and found it very helpful in finding and comparing quickly and easily airfares from many major and not so major companies. But Sidestep isn't just for airfare, so I feel it needs it's review broken down into different sections I have used.

SideStep for airfare: 

I like that I can quickly and easily compare airfare and check out even ones like JetBlue and Frontier.  I like that it tells me how long my search will take. However, rarely do I find that their search provides me with any airfare that is lower than the other sites except by dollars. Not exactly helpful in that way. But good searching tool and fast too. 

SideStep for hotels

Although I have searched for hotels on sidestep I have never booked.  The prices just aren't that great especially when compared to Priceline, Hotwire or Expedia. 

SideStep for car rentals: 

Great for searching and the occasional deal. Hotwire is consistently less expensive but you don't know the car rental place ahead of time. 

Overall, it's helpful. SideStep has it's place in the travel world providing quick searches and answers to my travel questions, I just haven't seen where it is that much better, lower priced, quicker or any other reason to book there as frequently as I used to or over some of the other sites I use frequently like Expedia, Continental and Hotwire.
