medamorg Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 I've been bidding on getting a rental for the days listed above. I have went as high as $35 with no luck and now on both Orbitz and elsewhere the price has shot up to $120 for virtually anything!!! Any ideas what the heck is going on? Link to comment

medamorg Posted January 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Done,Attempted again today at $45 still no luck. Link to comment
thereuare Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Rates are thru the room for these dates with economy cars going for $100+ per day. With your trip just one week away, do you have a back-up reservation anyplace? Do you need a rental for this trip or is it possible to take a taxi for a few trips that you may need?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

medamorg Posted January 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 We wanted a car. We are staying at the Hyatt Regency and wanted to ability to "roam the island" for the two days we were going to be there. I wasn't able to get anything under $100 for ANYTHING through any of the usual places, including going to $60 on Priceline NYOP. I then got help from a friend who gave me a discount code for Budget to bring it down to $50 a day! More than I wanted to ever spend, but I guess it will have to do. Would have cost me $65 each way just for transportation from OGG to and from the hotel. Link to comment
thereuare Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Glad to hear you found something that will work for your needs. I suspect once you arrive you'll learn of some event taking place on the island which is driving up rental demand.Have a great trip.
