Priceline or Hotwire

[cruise-o-matic]

Has anyone tried either? If so, what has been your experience?

What should I bid for a compact for 4 days, 11/4 8am - 11/7 4pm? (I know the rates drop at noon on 11/4 since it's a Thursday, but I'm not planning on hanging around MCO for 4 hours....)

Thanks.

I've only ever Pricelined hotels. But if you go to www.biddingfortravel.com it is a VERY informative and helpful site for Priceline.

Good Luck

I would look on hotwire and various car rental web sites and see what kind of rates you can get and then under cut those with a Priceline bid. Sometimes you can do better booking directly with codes from www.mousesavers.com. try that first...th rentals of less than 1 week. Good luck.

I get rental cars via Priceline all the time. I've had Alamo, Avis, National, Budget, and Hertz through them. I research the lowest possible rates that I can get with a code and then try to undercut them with Priceline. I'm successful about 70 percent of the time. When deciding what to bid, don't forget to figure in the fee.
