(if you've made any PRICELINE or HOTWIRE purchases in the last year since joining the board please begin to share your wins so that others can benefit from the information)How high have you already tried bidding? Using our Car Rental Checker what is the best rate you're able to find thru traditional booking channels? What car class are you trying for?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... and your searches too!

dedoe188 Posted December 5, 2013 Author Report Posted December 5, 2013 Thank you for the tool link. The cheapest price I've found was $28.83 per day - $270.71 for the 6 days. The highest I've bid was $20 for a compact car and was shut down. Any suggestions?Thanks!
thereuare Posted December 5, 2013 Report Posted December 5, 2013 With these dates still including some days of the school Christmas/New Year's Eve break, it's a busy time for car rental companies as many families rent a car for a family vacation. As well, the one-way rental aspect doesn't help either since rental companies charge a premium for this since they have to figure out a way to get the vehicle back to its 'home' location at a later date.If you need a rental for this period, and the $28/day is refundable, i would book that now in order to lock-in a price to beat, then you can continue to try to bid on PRICELINE up to see if you can better the deal.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Keep us updated on your progress and let us know how we can be of further help along the way.

dedoe188 Posted December 6, 2013 Author Report Posted December 6, 2013 I ended up doing a round trip instead of a one way and got a better deal. CAK 6 days /compact - $20 per day. $182.06 out the door. Thanks for all the advice!
