Priceline rental cars: what have you paid?

[sillyminny]

I think this looks really quite excellent and too good to be true! I can't find a better price at any rental car site than this.

I would appreciate any info you have for rental cars this month in Orlando 2 weeks. Thanks.

PS I am sure the vets on this board are sick of this question! LOL!

The last rental was about 162.00 for a full size for one week including the taxes, fees and priceline's fee.
I have made bids for 17.00 - 20.00 for standard and full sized cars for Feb. and they have been rejected.

How quick is the response to your bid?

 

[GAIL HAYDEN]

about 3-5 mins.

Check out www.biddingfortravel.com to see a list of Orlando area priceline bids, both winning and losing. It gives you a good idea of how much to bid.

I usually base my bid on L & M's or Alamo's lowest rate, going a little below that. We usually go for economy, and I think it's gone between $15 and $17 depending on the date (and we usually only rent for a day or two, so we can't get the good weekly rates).

The last time we used Priceline I bid 17.00 for a full sized car and it was accepted with Avis. That was last Sept.

We got Avis in Oct., but lately (last two times) they didn't accept our bid for several tries, and then we eventually ended up with Alamo. I guess that's because they seem to be cheaper anyway, but it's a shame because I really liked Avis due to the easier cer-getting process. Avis did put an incorrect fuel charge on our bill, but they removed it after I called them.

Barb,
Alamo is now onsite, so, getting a car should be just as easy as with Avis.
