HuntBeachGuy Posted February 26, 2011 Report Posted February 26, 2011 Just posting notesI am looking for a Mid size car in Maui for 3/13-16 2011I reserved a car from Advantage at OGG, they appear to be off the airport property so the fees are dramatically lower.Reserved 3 days at Maui, 3/13-noon to 3/16 noon for $33.71 a day and about $15 in fees for $116.2 total Mid size car (reserved it just in case I do not score through bidding).Found Hotwire for $19.95 with $28.72 in fees for $88.57 Great savings, I am guessing that this is Advantage also due to the lower fees than most of the airport agencies. Shows as "Counter in airport, shuttle to car"Tried Priceline at $10.00 a day (I know this sounds way low, However their fees are so high that $30 for 3 days has $35.95 in fees for a $65.95 total) rejected.I will try a few dollars more for a midsize just to test the waters but the Priceline fees are outrageous. I think they make their profit from the fees. I will probably purchase from Hotwire but I will test the waters 1 more time from Priceline.BTW I use the links from here, when I click on Priceline it lands me on Hotels, then I click cars, I hope that credits you fine.Thanks for the great siteBrad

HuntBeachGuy Posted March 1, 2011 Author Report Posted March 1, 2011 Bid $11 nobid $12 and got instant purchase request for $15 but I decided to wait one more day.Tried $13 tonight and won.3 days from Alamo, Mid size car, Unlimited mileage, in terminal, walk to car.I was surprised to see this, I expected it to be Advantage which was previously the lowest I could find, they are outside of the airport so they have lower fees.March 13-163 days at $13.00 a day$39.00 rental$36.32 Taxes and FeesTotal Charges $75.32Listed Savings as $93.55, great deal if I do say so.
