I know we are consistently told that bidding on cars doesn't usually work, but I persist despite few successes. On Friday, 28 Jul 06, Priceline was displaying Economy prices at Phoenix Airport for 21-24 Sep 06 from $21 to about $31/da [Avis at $26, as I recall], and prices from the mostly off-airport cheapest companies--which Priceline does not display unless one clicks "See more companies" --of $13-15/da]. I bid $10 & failed. I re-bid $11, which I got, not from [off-airport?] Dollar--then the cheapest at $13--but from Avis, which is at the airport. Only a savings of $2/da [or $15/da, depending on how one looks at it], but I was glad for the small victory--only my second with a rental car. Evidently Phoenix airport taxes+fees are very high--they nearly doubled the rental charges.

Who says that? Car Rental Forums

Untill recently I have not needed to bid on Rental cars. But now I have a regular need for rental cars and I have some flexiblity. I have been getting some good deals on rentals saving about 60% in an expensive market.
