Priceline Rental Car ?

[djmeredith]

I have never rented through Priceline before. I can get a deal that would either be Avis, Hertz, or National at MCO. Anything to be concerned about with these offers? I'm not sure it's worth the $50 savings risk, but every little bit of savings helps.

If there is a problem with the rental car company you then have to deal with Priceline and the company blaming each other. It's rare but happens. The only thing we ever book 3rd party is, on occasion, a hotel.
IMHO, the $50 savings is not worth it. I'm not being snarky but just pointing out that $50 compared to the rest of the cost of a WDW trip is virtually nothing.

^^ I agree, not sure you actually save that much with Priceline to be worth the hassle. All rental companies have online websites were you can view pricing and make a reservation. With some of those 3rd party sites, you won't know the actual rental company until you make your reservation. There are some off brand rental firms I would NEVER use since you constantly see others having issues with them.

The only third party I'm booking with for rental cars is Autoslash. They actually do find you the best deal and will make sure you only pay what's been promised. I've seen lots of accounts of people being baited and switched by the rental car companies, and every time Autoslash made it right.

You generally have to visit the counter in terminal to pick up car, lines can be awful
