Priceline Mid-size car

[tomorrowland]

If you won a mid-size rental car on priceline, what type of car have you actually gotten when you go to pick it up? According to Priceline, the mid-size seats 4 (such as Pontiac Grand Am and Mazda 626) but most rental car companies definition of mid-size shows the vehicle seats 5.

I have bid on hotels through Priceline and upon winning noticed that something they may give 3 stars would rate as 2 stars on all other sites. So I guess I would like to hear some real world experience this time around.

TIA!

You'll get what the car rental company classifies as mid-size - not what priceline defines it by. There will be lots to choose from depending on who you're bid was accepted by. Most car rental companies allow you to choose your own car from the car category in the garage. All mid-size cars will fit 5, 2 in front, 3 in back - although depending on the size of the people, it may not be that comfortable.

Last 3 mid size rentals we had were 2 Malibus, and a Pontiac G6 (or something like that)

If you are a member of the rental agency's frequent user program they often upgrade you even with Priceline reservations.

Thanks for answering. Now I just need to bid on one and get a great deal like everyone else.
