I've already decided against priceline for airlines, because you can't pick flight times (and also because I live in the sticks and they don't service my airport!) and might use them for hotel (for an upcoming trip - not WDW), but was wondering what everyone's experience has been for rental cars? :eek:

We had no problems with priceline car rental in Sept, we got a premium car for 10 days for pick up at Orlando airport and when we got there they were out of premium cars and upgraded us to a luxury car which was great!!! we went to Clearwater for 3 days and then to wdw for 7 and return the car with no problems. we just printed our deal with priceline out and they also sent us one too and we just took it to the car rental desk , had no problems !,We will do it again next time. Good luck.
 
The only problem we had is that they are 24 hour rentals. So if you are returning your car 8 hours before the time you picked up they will charge you the full rate for the day. It happened to us, but we didn't care because of the killer deal! So if you picked up in the morning and are returning at night add the extra day!

Our extra day cost us $76 w/AAA discount!

We got a luxury car for 15 days at $22 per day!

glo, that's exactly the same as if you rented a car any other way. Rental cars are always for 24 hour periods, with a one hour grace.

With Priceline, you have to enter your pick up and drop off times anyway, so as long as you enter the correct times, Priceline will calculate the number of days. All the rental car websites do the same thing.
