WilliamK Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Using the Better Bidding PRICELINE links to start my search I began with a bid of $10 for a compact size and was rejected but countered with $14 which I rejected. I then tried $11 for a mid-size and was also rejected. At this point, I was not allowed to try other sizes until 24 hours had passed.Eventually I found a great deal at hot-Wire for $10.75 per day and lower fees than priceline which I will post over in that forum.

I then tried $11 for a mid-size and was also rejected.Eventually I found this great reservation (not a commitment) at hot-Wire for $10.75 per day for a compact (or larger) and with much lower taxes and fees than PRICELINE. I was offered to use either Dollar or Thrifty before making the reservation.Special carIndianapolis Intl.

WilliamK Posted March 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 The HOTWIRE rental was through Dollar (as stated above).However, today I got a PRICELINE accepted offer at $11 for a compact car at Hertz ($10 was rejected yesterday for compact and $11 was rejected for mid-sized) and thus canceled my HOTWIRE reservation at $10.75 due to the discounts my PRICELINE credit card offers of an extra 3% rebate and an extra 20% when applying my rebate towards a PRICELINE purchase.Pick-Up /Drop Off: Indianapolis Intl (IND)7800 Col H Weir Cook Mem Dr, Indianapolis, IN 46241Pick-Up Date & Time: Friday, March 29 2013 - 8:00 PMDrop-Off Date & Time: Sunday, March 31 2013 - 8:00 PMDriver's Age: 25 and overPurchased Date: March 28 2013Your Offer Price: $11.00 (per day)Total Rental Days: 2SubTotal: $22.00Taxes and Fees: $21.73Total Rental Car Charges: $43.73 Taking into account extra PRIC.ELINE credit card discounts (only costs me 81.3% of price), total was actually $35.55 vs the HOTWIRE I cancelled at $36.31.
