Priceline Mid size in San Antonio, TX confused

I love BB (and ALWAYS use your link). I need help again with a car. I need a mid size for SAT (SAn Antonio) from 10/17-10/24 (exactly a week. When I use BB and search PL Retail it says $114/with for either Dollar or Thrify. And with taxes ot says $205. If I divide the $14 by 7 I get $16.28/day. So I go to bid on PL and put in $15.00. It says I should raised to $17 but I stay at $15.00 and the calculation shows total of (ta da!) $205 . It shows that Thrify is at $115 and is not a Name Your Own Price partner.

All are shuttle to car

 

So, I have a CANCELABLE reservation with Thrifty at $205 total. I'd bid if I could save at least $20 for the week.  I ran #s if I bid $13. and that brings it to $186.81 (There are $95 in fees and taxes!). Is it worth my time to bid $13 for a non-cancellable rental? Or should I just stick with my cancelable one?

 

Thanks for guidance.

I would book that rate (as it is fully refundable), and assuming that your plans are firm, throw in a few lower bids every few days on PRICELINE as you have nothing to lose other than being told that your bid as been rejected.

 

Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board.
