nkcutter Posted August 21, 2012 Report Posted August 21, 2012 Have been watching the Hotwire rental car rates for PIE airport in St Pete for few months, and bidding occasionally at what I was willing to spend at that early time; always rejected. I could only accept a full size or premium, so didn't have much bid power. I am not seeing as many good rates through Priceline country-wide lately. And often I'm seeing the rates go up as the date approaches rather than the opposite.Finally saw Hotwire went down to $24.95 a day for full size car 'secret'(from $30 or higher). Had $2.10 per day of bonus money for 10 day rental.Rental dates 10 days, 10/26/12 through 11/5/12.Bid Priceline NOP $20 for Full size (+2.10 bonus) = 22.10 per day actual price.Accepted.$20/day * 10 days = $200 + 91.47 = $291.47
