Used proper PRICELINE link on both dates. $42 - 4/22-23, 4/25-26 $42 I originally bid from $40 to $45 for a 3.5* in the South-Airport zone only. Did not have success. I then started bidding for 3* at $40 and got success at $42 for both nights at the Airport Courtyard. The taxes and fees were $13.67 for a total of $55.67. The online rack rate ($139.95) with taxes was $160.40 so I saved about 65%. I only bid this zone because of rental car prices. Both rooms were purchased on 1/10/1010. Lately I have not been successful in obtaining cars through Priceline. The rental car companies have reduced their car counts. They no longer, at Austin, have weekend specials. The weekend prices on Expedia, Orbitz and Travelocity are the same as week day. The four day weekend rental at the airport was $176. I made a reservation with Enterprise with a local site, 4210 South Congress which is within 5 miles of the Courtyard. The four day rental was a total of $67 and they will pick us up right near the Courtyard. Now this will not work for everyone because the local rental sites are usually not open on the weekend and are open only from 7:30 AM tp 6:00 PM. Since we are leisure travelers this works for us. I intend to do so when we go to Louisville, KY in November. There I will get a weeks rental off airport and hope tlo get the Crowne Plaza (using the PRICELINE Link, of course).
