mikeyjc Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 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.Details:Standard Car (Unlimited Mileage)Your Offer Price: $12.00 (per day) Total Rental Days: 7 days Subtotal: $84.00 Taxes and Fees: $80.14 Total Charges: $164.14 Lowest Published Price: $556.64 Total Savings:* $392.50 (You saved 71%) (Cost was $26 less than renting either a Full, Standard, or Mid-size on Hotwire for the same rental period.)Pick-Up Location:Hertz CorporationSeattle Tacoma Airport 17801 Pacific Highway South Suite 301 Seattle,WA 98158-12001-800-654-3011 Pick-Up Date: April 9, 2011 - 11:00 AM Drop-Off Date: April 16, 2011 - 11:00 AM I did click thru from the PRICELINE link in this forum before I pulled the trigger.
