I know this is a hotel board, but the rental car boards are pretty sparce :) My bidding strategy was something like:

$15 full size, rejected

$15 standard, rejected

$15 mid size, rejected

$15 compact, rejected

$13 economy, rejected

(not sure if that order is exactly right)

I had read someplace that someone won an economy or compact car for $12 around the dates for pick up at SAN, so what gives? Ace shows a small car for $19, so I was thinking $13 wasn't too shabby. Should I wait the 3 days and try again?

I can't get the San Diego map to work - any tips?

Sorry, max is $150.

Oops! Okay, so hotwire, I select zone and they give me available prices, but not hotel name and priceline I select zone and enter bid, have I got it? The only reason I was leaning towards hotwire was because the Del was listed on their site and I didn't see it on Priceline.

For Priceline, in this order:

Coronado

San Diego Coastal

Point Loma, Shelter Island, Old Town

Thanks!

This is my first ever try at bidding for a hotel online as well as my first ever trip to San Diego. My husband and I are celebrating our first anniversary, hence my desire for a 4*, but suggestions are welcome if something else would better suit us. We'll be seeing Sea World, the Zoo, and the wild animal park.

October 8-12 (2 adults)

Coastal - San Diego Coastal

Central - Coronado

Central- Sea World-Mission Bay-Shelter Island

These are the areas I was planning on considering, although I'd ideally like to stay at the Del!

Prices I've been finding are about $179-250+ for this area.

Advice greatly appreciated!
