Online prices range from $129 - $150...any thoughts/experience on the bid I should propose to PRICELINE? I'm looking for a Chevy Tahoe "or similar".Thanks! Link to comment

thereuare Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 How many people and/or luggage/people do you need to transport? Will you be heading outside of Vegas this weekend, and if so, how far are you traveling? (there's a reason i'm asking)Do you need a FULL SIZE SUV for this trip or would a Standard SUV (Jeep Cherokee or similar) work for your needs as well?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

hookemvic Posted September 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 I am fairly certain we will need a full size SUV. I will be lugging around 5-7 people at any given time through Vegas. A mid-size SUV will be ok from the airport since we only have 5, but will quickly hit 7 once everyone else arrives that first evening.Thanks again! Link to comment
thereuare Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Any chance of another driver as renting two smaller cars will likely be much cheaper than one SUV.If not, with time on your side i would start at $50 and increase your bid by $5 every 24 hours, but often 'specialty' vehicles such as this are in short supply and the price may reflect that.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and keep us updated on your bidding and let us know if we can be of further help.
