alambrose Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 I've been bidding on Priceline every day for the past 30 days, hitting EVERY class of vehicle with bids ranging as high as $23/day for a minivan, to a high of about $14/day for an economy. Back in Sept I got a minivan through Priceline for $16/day, so I guess I was a little spoiled and hoping for a repeat... wasn't happening.Saw $26.95/day on Hotwire for a minivan in TPA 11/2-11/17 (which I've also been checking several times daily for the past month), and decided to pull the trigger, total cost with all fees about $529 through Alamo. I didn't want to wait until the absolute last second and end up empty handed. My backup plan was a reservation with Advantage for a compact, that came to $390 total for the same period... I could make do with the compact, but I will be staying at the Tampa beaches, and then taking a day trip to Orlando with wife and 2 young children, so I really wanted the minivan. Link to comment
