ashiepoo84 Posted August 3, 2013 Report Posted August 3, 2013 I am looking to rent a compact or economy Aug 9 thru the 13th while in Boston. The past 3 days I have bid $25, $28 and $30 on each. All failed. I really don't want to spend more than $34 a day. Any advice? The recent won bids had a SUV for $30 a day but compacts at $50. Thank you!
thereuare Posted August 3, 2013 Report Posted August 3, 2013 Car rental rates are extremely high for these dates... using our Car Rental Cehcker what is the best rate you're able to find thru conventional booking channels?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

ashiepoo84 Posted August 3, 2013 Author Report Posted August 3, 2013 They are high! That is giving me $382. I can go through my bank and get one for $277, but wanted to try to get it cheaper on PRICELINE.
thereuare Posted August 3, 2013 Report Posted August 3, 2013 You can figure out what your maximum bid would need to be in order to beat the $277/nite rate you're able to get and try to win for less, but i think that may be very close to the best deal you're able to get during this busy rental period.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Let us know what you ultimately end up doing for this rental or if we can be of further help.

ashiepoo84 Posted August 4, 2013 Author Report Posted August 4, 2013 Thank you! I bid up to $38 today and it wasn't accepted. I will try again tomorrow going up to $40, if that doesn't work I will go through my bank.
ashiepoo84 Posted August 4, 2013 Author Report Posted August 4, 2013 We ended up going with Advantage. We were able to get a military discount with them that came out to $43 a day for a total of $270. More than I wanted to spend but less than our other options. Thank you for your help!
