All of the ones Priceline uses, which, as stated on their website, are Hertz, National, Alamo, Budget and Avis.

We got an SUV through priceline for $21/day, unlimited mileage. The car company is Hertz. Good luck.

We leave May 31 and return June 11. We have pick up and drop off time of 4:00 p.m. My husband started out bidding $19 on priceline and it was rejected. He then increased it until they accepted it at $21/day.

When are you traveling?

I got a mini-van for $23 a day for 7 days in August(Budget Rental Car). I was nervous about trying priceline but I figured it was worth the try. It has paid off! :p

at $21 per day. I did this last week.

Wow! Am I relieved! I originally had a res. w/ Alamo - the rate seemed good at the time (smaller car more $$).

The more I thought about having to take their shuttle and put up w/ their notoriously bad service, the more I attractive priceline sounded.

Bigger car, less $$, onsite: NOT BAD!!!

I do not believe Hertz is inside the airport at MCO. Great deal, by the way.

The four of us are flying and we dont need a big car. I couldnt touch hotwire's offer on priceline. We got a compact for $15 a day on hotwire. The offer on a standard was $18 a day for a total of $160 for 8 days in July.

A few months ago I booked through priceline: compact car 14 days - $15/day (for July).

Now we are increasing our holiday by 4 days, and so far I can't get a compact car for $15.

No problem with hotel though, $30/night(+$5.bonus) at Wyndham Orlando - very lucky - thats where I'm staying for the other 14 nights.

sablair, are you sure 4 people's luggage for an 8 day trip will fit in the trunk of a compact car?

July... very lightweight clothing, and Im a packing monster equipped with travel ziplocks..hehe. We will mostly wear water proof shorts (these are easy to wash and hang up to dry.. dont wrinkle and comfortable in hot weather) and t-shirts and they dont take up much room. A couple of wrinkleproof tank dresses that roll up for me and my DD and lightweight khakis for DH and son in case we want a nice night out. As long as we avoid a lot of denim, it works! We will have 4 small suitcases on rollers, a couple of backpacks and a box of food.
