It took a little longer than I’d like but they were able to iron out the issue at hand. Everyone was professional and patient with my questions.

About Axel

Written by the company

Axel is the AI travel agent that tracks your flights and hotels and gets you paid when prices drop. Members pay thirty five dollars a year and Axel works in the background to secure savings all year long. Once you book a flight or hotel, Axel monitors the price around the clock, identifies real repricing opportunities, and claims the savings for you automatically. Your reservation stays the same, you get money back, and Axel handles the entire process without any effort on your part.

For flights, Axel uses your booking details to request a repricing credit directly with the airline. The itinerary does not change and the savings are refunded to you. For hotels, Axel finds the same stay and dates at a better price and offers it to you through Axel so you can rebook at the lower rate. Travelers no longer need to refresh websites or keep track of shifting prices. Axel takes care of it.

Users can message Axel anytime on WhatsApp to check their bookings, ask questions, and access Axel’s special hotel deals. The service is designed to feel like a modern travel concierge that quietly works on your behalf. Most members save more than their annual fee within the first few months. Axel supports domestic and international trips, frequent travelers, families, business travelers, and anyone who wants to capture price drops without lifting a finger.

Axel continues to expand its capabilities and aims to become the simplest way to track, manage, and optimize every trip while putting more money back in the hands of travelers.

It was literally 5 minutes and I save money

It was literally 5 minutes after I signed up that I saved money on my hotel. I don't care for the fact that you have to pay the entire new price and wait for the credit of the original payment you made. Now you can wait to pay for the new one but if you forget then you will show up with no place to stay. But my new price also is refundable. The entire thing is nice and easy.

I’d like a refund I didn’t get any money back at all and they’ll say low chance or no chance of getting any money back. The one I was gonna get back made it so I wouldn’t get points cause it they would buy it from a different app or platform.

Already more than paid for itself

Already more than paid for itself. I have loved how much I have gotten back for the services. There are some small bugs or things I work with the AI to help get, but it's well worth the cost and the effort I put into these items! Love it

Great site for tracking prices

Axel has been very helpful in getting the best fares for my trips. It’s easy to use and works with airlines to find the best fares out there.

Made +$75 in 24 hrs

Paid $35. Saved $110 within 24 hrs. Had 5 flights and 3 hotel stays booked. It found a reprice on one of the flights and got me a refund.

It's not a lot, but it's effectively free money and it's passive, so why not spend the 5 mins to sign up. If you have a bunch of travel planned ahead of you, give it a go.

Worth the cost.

Communication with Axel is quick and efficient. Their rebooking is seamless and the travel credits appear in my airline account very fast. I've recommended to all my friends.

Inaccurate hotel room matching, annoying repeated texts & emails

They keep sending me alternate hotel room, which are not equivalent to the hotel room, which I booked. (king bed with private bathroom). They are sending me single beds that are double bunk or quadruple bunk, stating they are “king bed with private bathroom” and repeatedly sending me emails and texts (over 9x texts in the past 2 months!! Not counting emails too!), even though I don’t want to accept these rooms. It’s extremely annoying and I keep telling them these beds are not equivalent, and all I get are AI responses apologizing and saying they will correct then I get the SAME bunk beds sent to me. I don’t want to sleep in a single bed. That is a bunkbed!! I haven’t saved any money so far using this for the past two months

Hi there, thank you for taking the time to share this. I am really sorry for the frustration you experienced. The room matching you described is not the standard we hold ourselves to, and the repeated notifications clearly added to the issue.

I would like to personally review your hotel matches and make sure we get this fixed for you.

Please reach out to us at help@helloaxel.com so I can take a closer look at your account and get this resolved quickly. My goal is to make Axel helpful and accurate for you, and I appreciate you giving us the chance to fix this.

I signed up for Axel a few weeks ago after checking trustpilot. I figured it was worth a try. With a few trips planned this next year, and with the reservations for hotels and air forwarded to Axel, I’ve already saved more than $1,000. I’m a believer.
