IAD National Full Size, Dec 22-24 (3 days) $18

[yooperann]

I've learned over the years of rental cars and priceline bids that full size cars are sometimes easier to get than smaller models--and often about the same price. So that's what I started with and that's what I got. (It also helps that I'm not going to be doing a lot of driving--mostly just running around Bethesda--so mileage isn't a big factor). I'm also always delighted to get National, so I feel really good about this one. And paying for a third day just because my plane leaves a couple of hours later than the time I arrive doesn't feel so bad when I'm getting a bargain to begin with.
