hazardous Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 Alright after trying over a few days and using the PRICELINE link thru this website, I landed a succesful bid for $50/day for a minivan at DEN for 9 days in July. The total came to $585 (or $65/day.) I also bid for some friends the identical DEN minivan for the same dates on a different day and I won it for the same $50 but the total came out $60 more. The increase was in the priceline fees. Has anyone noticed if priceline has a better time of day to get their cheapest fees. Again I'm not talking about the successful actual bid, but the priceline fees associated with it.Thanks for this website!!!! Link to comment
thereuare Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 Please add a reply to this thread with the name of the rental company which accepted your bid.When did you win the first rental and when did you win the second rental? (ie- how much time (days, weeks, months) transpired between the purchases??) Did the same rental company accept both of the bids?Thank you for sharing your win and using the PRICELINE links on the board to begin your bidding.Have a good trip.

hazardous Posted May 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Oh Yes it was with National Car Rental both times. The 1st succesful bid was on Friday April 29th at night and was $60 more in in priceline fees than the successful bid on Tuesday May 3rd at night. Link to comment
thereuare Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 I can't find any information as such, but i'm going to speculate that there was a new fee/tax imposed on rental cars between the two accepted bids (perhaps enacted May 1??) which could account for the price difference.
