kate410 Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 I'm interested in bidding on a car rental in Gulfport, Ms. Do you have suggestions for a minimum bid. It is for 4/26 to 5/7? A midsize would be good, but I am flexible. :) Link to comment
thereuare Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 What is the best rate (please list both per day and total 'all-in') you're able to find for this rental? Is an economy/compact car acceptable? (you can use our Car Rental Checker to assist in your search)Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

kate410 Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Using Hotwire I got $26.95 a day or $423.76 for a midsize car. I just noticed that a midsize SUV would be $26.95 a day or $420.46 for the entire cost. Either one would be fine.I just multiplied $26.95 times 11 days and got $296.45. I guess the rest is airport fees and tax? Link to comment
thereuare Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Are the rates above thru HOTWIRE's "retail" unit where you'll know the name of the rental company before the purchase or thru their 'opaque' (aka- hot Rate) division where you don't learn the name of the hotel until after the purchase?Given the rates above, how high would you be willing to bid? (up to the prices above?)Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

kate410 Posted February 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Yes, it was the retail price. I am not sure about bidding. I would start low and increase the price. Link to comment
