SEA Seattle Standard Hertz

[mikeyjc]

Hi all.

Over the past week or so, I've bid $8 for a Full-size, Standard, and/or Mid-size for this time period to see Priceline's response. Each time, Priceline came back with a "Good Chance" of $12 and a "Great Chance" of $13 for all 3 sizes ... so, I nibbled at $10 and $11 daily but without success.

Figured I should lock this in now, since this rental falls during the April school break period ... so, I bid $11 again today for a Full-size, which Priceline rejected with no counter-offer.

I then upped my bid to $12 and changed to a Standard, and Priceline accepted the offer.

Congratulations on your success!

Glad to see you were successful during what has the potential to be a busy week. If you're looking for a quick half day trip Fremont is a nice little city and you can see the Fremont Troll under the bridge. :)

Thank you for sharing your win and using the PRICELINE links on the board to begin your bidding.

Have a great trip!
