Editors' Review

Kayak Flight Hotel Car Search puts the resources of one of the Web's most popular travel search engines at your fingertips, courtesy of your Android phone or tablet. This free app not only helps you find and book the best rates for flights, hotels, and rental cars, but also accesses information about airports, helps you plan and pack for your trip, and more.

Pros

Searching: Kayak's travel search engine has been lauded for its performance, and it's easy to see why. It quickly found attractive rates based on our travel plans.

Tracking: Kayak's app tracks flights to see if they're on schedule. The Price Alert feature tracks fares and rates and lets you know when they change.

Planning: Travel-related features include a Currency Converter, Packing List, and My Trips, which you can also access from Kayak's website with a free account.

Rental cars: Not every competitor offers rental car searches like Kayak Flight Hotel Car Search.

Cons

Interface design: Kayak's interface is plain yet businesslike, but the small, low-contrast icons and crowded menu make it harder to read in low-light situations.

Double-check prices: With travel searches, we always recommend checking more than one source to verify we're getting the best deals.

Bottom Line

Kayak Flight Hotel Car Search can serve as your primary resource not just for planning a trip but while you're traveling, too. With plenty of resources and experience, Kayak's app is a great tool for pleasure or business travelers.
