Help with Car rental at MCO

[dereksing]

Hi

I am looking to book from Oct 23 2013 to Oct 27 2013, picking up at MCO and returning car at FLL.

What is the best strategy to bid on PL for a good price?

The retail for PL quote was 139 dollars.

Will I get it cheap to split the rental? Oct 23 to Oct 26 MCO to MCO, Oct 26 to Oct 27 MCO to FLL?

Thanks

Please provide a follow-up for your prior Fort Lauderdale Hotwire request and your Hotwire Michigan thread (post in the threads what you decided for the stays), then reply to this thread and we'll be happy to look into the above.

Please always follow-up your threads with whatever you end up doing, even if you chose to book direct, cancel your trip, etc.

The retail for PL quote was 139 dollars.

Is that the total for the complete rental including all fees/taxes? What company is this with and what car class?

I have just check again and the price has dropped a little bit. It is showing me an average price is 117 when I was trying to bid using nameyour own price.

[thereuare]

The average price shown by PRICELINE to 'assist' in your bidding is meaningless as it's often not an actual bookable rate... what car type are you trying for and what is the best rate you're able to find using our Car Rental Checker? (please provide both the daily rate as well as the total rate all-in including taxes/fees)

Hi

The best price I can find under the Car Rental checker is through PL.

It is from SIXT and it is a mid SUV for $53 a day and total including all charges is $270

Thanks

Assuming that rate from SIXT is refundable i would book that as a back-up as you may not be able to beat it, and if you can, it may not be by much. How much would need to save to make locking in a non-refundable reservation 6+ months ahead of your stay?

Thanks, I will post here once I have decided what to do. Maybe I will wait till it is couple months before my actual date and then book.
