HA! :) So sorry... Westin Dallas DFW. I do not see the "edit" button on that post or I would change it.

Shuttle, Restaurant, Fitness, Business Center, High Speed Internet. FYI - this hotel currently offers complimentary shuttle service to and from DFW airport. They will allow parking at their property for up to 7 nights for no additional charge.

Just an update - we ended up renting a 15 passenger van with my brother directly through a rental company. Thank you for all of your help and I will certainly click through your links in the future!

Wow! I never would have thought to do that. While I would certainly do anything for a bargain, my hubby will not. He'd rather pay retail than move car-seats! (Yikes! He has other redeeming qualities.) So, might it be possible that I could get an SUV on PL for a little less than $45? I am going to try some lower bids now, since I have time. I'll use your PRICELINE links and I'll post if I have any luck.

The farthest we will stay is Niagara Falls (about 30 min), but we will be driving around a lot. And yes, I think we should fit in an SUV.

We will have the car seats with us. As for the discount, I can get a "premium" car through our insurance company for about $63/ day, so I wouldn't pay more than that. Do you have any strategy tips? I have one other experience with PL car rentals before I found your site. I thought my bid was "aggressive" at 50% off the rates published by the car rental agencies, but PL accepted my first bid. I now feel I could have been more aggressive, and I don't want to make the same mistake twice. Thank you for any advice you can give. I've read MANY of the other posts about car rentals, but I just need advice for a starting place, as the rates seem higher for these dates/ location than many of the others I've read.

Hi, My family of five (3 carseats) will travel to Buffalo July 22-26 . We need a Premium, Luxury, or Minivan. The best rates found with the betterbidding cartool are $74(premium), $79(lux), & $84(m-van). I'm not sure where to begin bidding on PRICELINE. Any suggestions? TIA!
