PollyNYC Posted August 8, 2013 Report Posted August 8, 2013 Really weird story w/this one! I bid $66 for a compact car. Got the screen telling me that it's not going to fly with a recommendation of $86. So tried $68, since I saw a price of $109 on Hotwire. Figured I'm still ahead of the game. When I got to the next page - the apology page - your bid is too low, you can bid again right now if you raise your bid above 69. I bid $70 and again got another chance offered by their partners: Avis and Budget came up with Compact cars for $66. I jumped on it rather than continue to bid and maybe getting shut out on a lower priced car and (heaven forbid) have to pay more as all of the cars get rented up each weekend. The strange part is the offer was lower than the $70 bid! Sure it's an Economy and not a Compact, but I will take it. And I did. :) Daily Rate (2 x $66.64): $133.28Subtotal: $133.28Taxes and Fees: $44.24Estimated Total Rental CarCharges: $177.52 (Amount due at pick-up)I think I'm totally okay with that! :D As always, I used the PRICELINE link provided by this board. Thanks, guys!
