    * egencia.com
    * Hotwire.com
    * Homeaway.com
    * VRBO.com

    Independent-ish

I thought Google hotels/flights used the OTAs, but instead of the OTAs making 13-18% commission, Google leaves them with 3-8% taking 10% themselves (Which no affiliate of the OTAs has ever gotten close to that high of % before)

How about ClearTrip (mostly interesting in India, but they also have some non-Indian hotels)? Who are they owned by?
