Priceline Bids/results

[dgaston]

Used Priceline for car rental Memorial Day weekend (we're going to Cocoa hoping for a shuttle launch) and got a compact car for $14 per day from Hertz. The shuttle off-site isn't a problem for us.

I don't know if this is in the thread, but for Priceline there is a dedicated website called www.biddingfortravel.com. I have used this site several times to help with getting the location that I want at the best deal.

It does require some research on your part but I like I said I have gotten good deals in the LOCATION that I have wanted.

Good luck!

Got an Extended Stay America Orlando Convention Center (on Westwood Blvd. off I-Drive) for one night before we check into Boardwalk.

Priceline winning bid: $25.00
Total Charges with taxes/fees: $35.32

Actually here right now (March 29). The hotel is basic, but clean, and has a kitchenette with sink, apartment size fridge, cabinets and microwave. The staff thus far is nice and helpful.

Am I looking to soon to try price line for June? I need a room for 5 nights June 11 to 16 a wed to monday. I'd like a decent place but want to spend $50 or less. Any suggestions here. I have never used PL so type slow so I can understand.

Thanks, YO

Anyone have any luck with Priceline for June, more so the last week in June?

I got a 2.5 star ~Clarion Maingate East for $42 for June13th

I think I started at $30 and went up a dollar at a time adding free rebids.

I got the Hampton Inn and Suites in the Universal I-drive North Zone for $38/night. It is a 2.5* hotel. gets good reviews on Trip Advisor and includes a full breakfast and free wi-fi....cheapest available rates for our dates (8/1 - 8/3) at this property on conventional booking sites was $139/night, so I was happy

I'm thinking about Priceline for a rental car. Has anyone had any good deals? I looked at budget for our next trip, and got a price quote of $103 for the week (with AAA discount) on a compact car. Has anyone gotten a car for $10-$13 a day?

I got the Hilton at Downtown Disney for $77. I think that's a pretty good deal.

I got an SUV for $20/day through Priceline for early June.

I got a full size for $12/day for 14 days -- total with taxes and fees of $230! I really want a minivan but they are pretty pricey -- especially during the July 4th holiday. My dates are 6/28 - 7/11.

Which hotel did you get?

 

[lovin diz]

we got the best western lakeside. I hope it is good. I have read some good reviews.

 

[disneycrazycatlady]

just got the radisson world resort from priceline for $50 per night for June 8-14. Its rated 3 stars and has mixed reviews

I got the 2.5* Clarion Maingate also-- June 3-12, for $37 a night on Priceline.

I used the "free rebid concept" listed on BiddingForTravel and had bids of $25, $30, and $35 rejected. At $35 it told me I could immediately rebid $9 higher, which is always a clue you're getting close (but also a ploy to get you to overbid, as you will usually win raising your bid less than that.) I ignored this since I had 4 free rebids left, raised it to $37, and was accepted.

I just got homewood suites convention centre -march 8 to 15 2009 for 45/night. This was only coming up for stays 2 weeks and over. but I was on it everyday and noticed it came up for a 7 night stay. It had to be 7 nights, I tried 6, 5 etc. I did my research through the tripadvisor reviews and knew it was that hotel so I grabbed it. Good thing too, because the next morning it was gone. This was 2 days ago.
