Yeah, I saw that. I'll have to talk to my friend and see what he wants to do. Just last month another friend of mine got us a room in Sheraton for $100. How times have changed!

My friend wants to party there as it's his birthday, but close timing and summer nights are making it difficult. I've gone up to $200 for 3.5 or 4 stars, but no go. Hotwire's showing $323 for a 3.5. Is that close to what he may have to pay?

I live downtown so it'd take me about an extra $7 by regional rail, and there's an extra fee for dropping off somewhere other than pickup location right? That's why airport doesn't really work for me.

I don't understand... is the best rate available $41 or is it $25?

What dates have you already tried bidding for?

The best rate on Travelocity, etc. is $41. $25 is in the top range of what I'd like to pay. It may seem like a big difference but on weekends I can get $14-15 depending on the number of days for the rental.

I've tried Dec. 6th, and 11th-14th (all one-day rentals).

Just one day's fine, two's ok too. I don't intend to rent 3 days in a row, but who knows. In my experience 2-day rentals cost $1/day more, so sat+sun costs $15/day instead of $14. I don't know if it's the same w/ weekdays though.

So far I've gone up to $17/day (before taxes etc) but still no go. I prefer to stay under $25, well under if possible, because that's about the rate I can get outside PL.

In my experience, downtown philly rates are stable. It doesn't matter if I want something from Fri. 8pm- Sat 8pm or Sat. 4 pm-Sun. 4 pm or Sun. 9 am - Mon. 9 am. They're all the same price. I've done it dozens of times, although almost all on weekends.

For this rental, I'm open to any weekdays in the first 2 weeks of Dec. The lowest price on the various sites is $41/day. There's no difference whatever the dates or times I choose, as far as I can tell.

All I need is a NYOP price for a weekday rental. I think again that they're all the same.

These are all off-airport rates.

First off this is my first post. It seems strange no one else seems to have recently asked for help here but I read the FAQ and it says to post in the appropriate state forum, so here goes.

I want to rent a car (economy's just fine) on a weekday in early December. In my experience weekend rates for Name-Your-Own-Price are the same at $14/day from after Labor Day to sometime in May. but the only time I rented on a weekday it costs $26, back in Aug. This is all before taxes and fees.

Does anyone know what the rate is for weekdays right now?
