brirye Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Using the PRICELINE link, I tried to bid on economy and compact cars for 10-14-2012 to 10-19-2012.Economy - $9 - RejectedCompact - $9 - RejectedEconomy - $10 - RejectedCompact - $10 - RejectedEconomy - $11 - RejectedCompact - $11 - RejectedEconomy - $12 - RejectedCompact - $12 - RejectedPriceline suggests bidding up to $18 per day, but this is only 1 dollar cheaper than what they are offering if I add a car to my flight/hotel package I already booked with them.I have a reserved car with Dollar for $144 total (after taxes/fees). Carrentals.com offered an economy at $10.56 a day for a total of $118.28 after taxes and fees. However, I've never used the company U-save before and I was OK with paying a little more to go with a company I know.I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong in bidding or if it is just a bad time to bid.. perhaps too late?

thereuare Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Use this link to go to HOTWIRE and repeat your search there... rates all-in from $125 (economy) to $129 (compact), or also $129 for a 'compact or higher' that would be assigned at the time of pick-up.Does this work for your needs?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.
