Mulval Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 Pick-up/Drop-off: Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD)Rental Car Company: Budget Rent A Car System, Inc. Car Class: Economy with unlimited mileagePick-Up Date: Wednesday, October 26, 2005Drop-Off Date: Saturday, October 29, 2005Offer Price: $25.00Total Rental Days: 3Subtotal: $75.00Taxes & Fees: $21.29Total Charges: $96.29My price of $25/day for Economy size was accepted on first attempt, so maybe I should have started bidding at $23/day. The Orbitz Web site [url="http://www.Orbitz.com"]http://www.Orbitz.com showed prices starting at $39/day. The best deal I could get from the Budget Web site http://www.budget.com was the total of $150.15 for 3 days (about $41/day). The Enterprise Web site [url="http://www.Enterprise.com"]http://www.Enterprise.com offered the total of $128.48 for 3 days, but that included a 20% promotional discount. Link to comment
Mulval Posted November 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Comment after the car rental was completed:Even though I had bid for an Economy-class car (e.g. Chevrolet Aveo), at the Budget location near the Dulles Airport I was given a Compact-class car (Chevrolet Cobalt LS Coupe). Most of the time, there are no Economy-class cars on the lot. Link to comment
