captn Posted January 26, 2012 Report Posted January 26, 2012 Is it possible to bid on a point to point car rental in Priceline or Hotwire? I'm exploring the possibility of renting a car in Tampa starting on 3/1 and returning it in Ft. Lauderdale on 3/9.Also, regarding an 8 day car rental vs a 7 day rental...in the brief search I've done it appears that the per day car rental price jumps a bit when you price it out for longer than one week vs less than one week. Is there a strategy for bidding on car rentals that will last more than 7 days?
thereuare Posted January 26, 2012 Report Posted January 26, 2012 On the 'opaque' side of each service, PRICELINE allows one-way rentals... HOTWIRE does not at this time.PRICELINE bidding works for all rental lengths, but you should base your bid on a discount of the best rate you're able to get thru conventional booking methods. So if the rate jumps for your 8 days rental above, then you'll need to consider the higher price when determining your maximum bid amount.Let us know once your plans firm up and we'll go over more details of this rental.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.
