goldendeal Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 Your Offer Price: $18.00 (per day) Total Rental Days: 9 days(8 days and 14 hours) Subtotal: $162.00 Taxes and Fees: $137.55 Total Charges: $299.55 Lowest Published Price: $747.35 Total Savings:* $447.80 (You saved 60%) As you know, there is no way in hades that Alamo can rent this car for 747.35 but yet when I went to the Alamo web site, there it was 747.35. I should have called them and told them I just want to rent the car, not buy it.Taxes Kill you in PHX. When you pay more in taxes then you do the actual car, there is something wrong. In any case, never settle for retail on a rent car in PHX, they know they cant rent them for that and you will ALWAYS get a discount. Hotwire had $341 55 for same car and times.I did try and bid for a compact and mid size for same bid but was denied...strange a full size won the 18.00 bid, when I tried everything leading up to it.

goldendeal Posted July 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 Im very sorry, the dates are 8/23 09/01.Yes I’m sure you are right, buisness travelers don't mind paying that price as it not out of their pocket. If I owned a business I would still use PRICELINE and HOTWIRE, the saving are just too great to pass up, more so in a case like this, where the taxes are outrageous. Big companies just don’t care or bother with the savings. When you see 700.00 a week for a compact rental, that enough to make you flinch. Check your eye glasses and look again. Really hard to believe. Link to comment
