    IT'S BACK... get notified when Rates Drop!!   03/19/2018

    Our newest development, RateDrop.com will monitor hotel prices for your specific dates and notify you if the Rate Drops!   Monitor hotel prices from both PRICELINE EXPRESS and HOTWIRE, as well as 'regular' retail hotel rates, based upon the specific criteria you choose.   While the benefits of tracking rates from Priceline and Hotwire are obvious, another use is to purchase a refundable hotel rate using RefundableRates.com and then also set an alert for that specific hotel using RateDrop... if the price drops, simply cancel and re-book at the new lower rate.   Uses your existing BetterBidding.com account so no additional sign-up is needed.   Get started tracking hotel rates now at RateDrop.com

My cousin and her husband are planning to visit me in Charlottesville VA. They found cheap tickets from Stockholm Sweden to New York NY. What would be the cheapest way for them to travel from New York to Washington DC, Richmond VA, or Charlottesville Va.? I can pick them up from any of these cities. I checked one of the car rental companies for one way and it was approximately $190 to Charlottesville without any insurance coverage.

Perhaps the so-called "Chinatown buses" from NYC to Washington, DC.

Greyhound is sometimes not that much more.

Amtrak would also be a possibility, but I don't know the cost.

The "Chinatown Bus" would definitely be the cheapest way, at least a little less than Greyhound. I took it for the first time from New York to Washington recently and thought it was great. The bus I was on was spotlessly clean, quite comfortable, and the time went by very quickly, thanks in part to the movies shown on board.

Agree with the others on the Chinatown busses... CHEAP!

Due to the Chinatown bus competition, PeterPan/Greyhound now does it for about $40/RT if there is a 7 day advance purchase and may have a more frequent schedule: PeterPan/Greyhound
