Who do you use to book vactions?

I normally have the best luck calling airlines and hotels direct, to eliminate the middle man.
Same goes rental cars, am I missing out on something that might save me a few bucks?

I do the same thing, except for what discounts I can get through work.
I used to use those places that will shop around for you but ran into issues particurarly with hotels. When you do run into an issue the hotel is no help since you didn't book through them and you will never get in touch with the discount site. Happened one too many times for me to not go direct.

Depends. If there's a Hilton owned hotel where I'm going I book directly through the Hilton Honors program otherwise I use Expedia,been a member since they started and they are very easy to deal with if there's any issues which has been very rare.
