I am flying into Long Beach, CA for two college graduations (both my kids) 5 days apart (2 RT flights cheaper than staying in hotel for 8 days!) Or maybe not after trying to book this 2nd car rental :) I used PL and booked compact car for 5/22 returning 5/23 and got $12/day rate. I am flying down again, 5/27 returning 5/30 and I am unable to get that rate...I've bid up to $22. I keep trying after 24 hours. I did get second chance and bid again and still denied. Lowest price I can find is HW for $35 a day. Any tips/tricks/suggestions or was I just very, very lucky? Does Memorial Day week have anything to do with it? :) Thanks, Seattle Sue
