Sorry if this sounds crazy - but I booked once with Priceline and ended up with a nightmare situation. I book rental cars all of the time - never through hotwire. I know the rates and the fees and all of the coupons available. I tried a search with Hotwire and was FLOORED at the low rate. My search was for a pick up in Orlando airport and a drop off 10 days later in Ft. Myers (airport) - normally when I book that and I get such a low rate - I usually get hit (on the last page of booking) with a one way drop off fee of 100.00. So the rate looks low until the very last page of the rental reservation booking page. So when Hotwire gives me a rate INCLUDING taxes and fees of 180.00 (for a mid size car) - it seems too good to be true. I am nervous that they are using dollar or budget and that when I get to the counter they are going to ask me for the drop off fee...OR that the rental car is NOT in the airport location and I will have to pay to get there. I just need someone to tell me that the fee you ssee on the search screen is in fact the amount you pay AND that the rental car is ONSITE at the airport. Thanks :)
