I used the PRICELINE link to bid $19 on a Mid-Size car rental and won:

 

Mid-Size Car
Pick-Up /Drop Off: Gen Edward Logan Intl Airport (BOS)
15 Transportation Way,  Boston, MA 02128
On Airport
Pick-Up Date & Time: Saturday, June 20 2015 - 9:30 PM
Drop-Off Date & Time: Thursday, July 09 2015 - 4:00 PM
Driver's Age: 25 and over
Purchased Date: June 06 2015

Your Offer Price: $19.00 (per day)
Total Rental Days: 19
SubTotal: $361.00
Taxes and Fees: $280.93
Total Rental Car Charges:     $641.93

 

I had just previously checked the HOTWIRE link and found their best Mid-Size rate at: $29 99 per day for a $874.58 total.  I had also been using my Costco Warehouse membership at CostcoTravel.com to get a backup cancelable rental whose price had kept coming down as I kept rechecking over the past two months and today I rebooked Costco at $647 for an Intermediate car with Carbon Offset $1.25 before trying Priceline again.  I preferred getting Priceline at the same rate because I use my PricelineRewardsVisa.com card that gives me extra discount, so the same pricing on PRICELINE is actually significantly less than elsewhere for me.  I was surprised to win and now wish I had tried lower first, but did not expect success given all the higher bids that had failed.  It seems waiting to book, pays off in this market.

 

Back on May 15, I had been turned down by Priceline for these same dates at $24/day for a smaller Compact sized car when my Costco reservation for a smaller Compact had been priced at $747.
