Yello jello Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 $14 for Mid-Size (Budget Rent-A-Car), Dallas Love Field, Saturday Feb 11 - Sunday Feb 12. Failed at $14 Standard, then won $14 Mid-Size.My usual bidding strategy is to check the priceline car rates for the brand name companies, and bid between 20%- 40% off, starting at Standard, and bidding down a level with the same price.I won a bid for a Dallas hotel, and there is an offer for car rental at the bottom that is already cheaper than the regular rates. Those discounted rates were $16 for Economy, and $17 for Economy to Standard.The priceline regular published rates were $18 Economy and Compact, $19 Midsize, and $18 Standard.If I marked down $40 percent, that would be a bidding price of $11, but since the discounted one was already $16, I tried just a little lower. I rushed this one. Since I have a few more days to try, I should have tried $11 or $12, but I guess I just used $14. Link to comment
