Got a "full size" car rental through Priceline - $17 per)day. Arrived in Orlando today. I have Emerald Club, but went to counter (five reps, four people, no line...) gave him my credit card (for damage deposit) and EA number. He directed me to the EA - I looked at the printout and it showed Priceline, but only that it was paid in full for two weeks, didn't print out what I paid. Also, gave me a rate of $175 for additional week (won't need it)
Anyway, got to the Aisle and, bummer, only four cars, 3 were Grand Am's, one Grand Prix. There was nobody else in the EA, but others in other Aisles getting assistance. I hung around the Grand Prix (in case someone else showed) and figured I would wait until I could get an employee's attention to see if they would be bringing more vehicles, only waited for less than 5 minutes when they drove in a New GMC Jimmy, less than 2500 miles - grabbed it and left with no hassles. So, am paying $119 a week for an SUV.
DH & DS arrived 2 hours later and were quite pleasantly surprised, especially with all the luggage and golf clubs, very handy.
Ready to hit the parks in the a.m. - gotta get some sleep but wanted to share this happy experience.
(Also did Priceline for hotel and are at Hyatt Orlando, it's been nice so far.....)

Hey - What can I say? Offsite gets me there every year.
