LAX Los Angeles Compact Hertz

[tiffg]

I started at $7 a day and worked my way up $1 at a time and ended up getting a compact car from LAX through Hertz for $17 a day. I am obviously a planner (booked this 4 months in advance). I am wondering if I could have got a better deal last minute, but noticed that hotels were booking up and several rental companies said they had low availability for the day we arrive (I think there's possibly some type of event going on in the LA area) so I decided to go ahead and book. I'm happy enough with my deal.

Buyers remorse...wishing I had waited! Prices have now dropped well below what I paid. Wishing I hadn't been in such a hurry to get a rental. Just though maybe someone could learn from my experience.

This time you may have done better by waiting... next time maybe rates jump sky high or even sell-out; you can't really make a conclusion based upon your experience above.

However, if the daily rate at Hertz (the company that accepted your bid price) for these dates is less than $17 you may be eligible for Priceline Best Rate Guarantee (click the 'cars' tab) which would match the current price as well as give you a $25 refund.

If you pursue this let us know how it goes.

Good luck!
