Kpassa Posted January 18, 2012 Report Posted January 18, 2012 Had $3 bonus cash and was trying for a compact or midsize for about a week, also an economy without bonus cash. Got turned down at $11/3 for compact and midsize, bid $10 on economy and got rejected but they came back with an offer of $11 that I accepted.I could have held out but at most it would have saved me a dollar or 2 per day, which wasn't worth the trouble of checking backin and bidding every day until I may or may not have got it.Daily Rate(5 x $11.45) $57.25Subtotal: $57.25Taxes and Fees: $43.31Estimated Total Charges: $100.56I'm assuming the extra 45 cents/day is a Priceline charge. For those of you new to trying to rent a car out of Vegas note thatthe taxes almost double the price and will double it or more depending on what size car you rent.And yes, I used the PRICELINE link to bid.

thereuare Posted January 21, 2012 Report Posted January 21, 2012 Was this a 'retail' purchase in that you knew the car rental company before your purchase OR did you get this by bidding?Thanks.
