KOA Kona Fullsize Thrifty

[heyjoe001]

Best retail rate I found before bidding was $288 (after taxes and fees, Thrifty or Dollar) Got same results on Orbitz, Expedia, Hotwire, and Entertainment Coupon book with discounts.

Started Priceline bidding at $14 ($210 after taxes and fees). Denied. Raised by $1 per day, until 5th day I was at $18/ day ($249 w/ t&f).

Then was offered transparent PRICELINE link for a Thrifty fullsize rental at $214 after taxes and fees. That price was about halfway between the total costs on my earlier $14/d and 15/d offers. Took it. Strange they didn't accept my higher offer on the table, but happy with the result.

Used the PRICELINE link.

Congratulations on your purchase.. glad to see you were able to receive a nice deal on this purchase.

Thrifty is not one of the companies that PRICELINE works with on the 'Name Your Own Price' side of their car rental service, so that would explain why your bid price was not accepted (as the five rental companies PRICELINE works with on the bidding side have higher prices than Thrifty)

Thanks for the post and using the PRICELINE links on the board to begin your bidding.

Have a great trip.
