Help NYC LGA 03/06 to 03/08

[mtohio]

Hi,

Arriving at NY LGA on Sat 03/06 4PM, departing on Monday 03/08 6am,

need a rental car for "2" days. Any suggestion on what to start the bidding with ? This car is for "1" person, so any category will do.

Currently am holding a hertz mid-size car for $50 + Taxes

Thanks,

Michael

Compared to what i'm seeing thru 'traditional' venues that $50 rate doesn't seem too bad.

However, Hotwire is showing:

Economy $33

Compact $33

Mid-Size $35

Standard $36

I'd pick which class you like, try $2-3 less on Priceline and then if rejected buy one of the above on Hotwire.

Let us know what you decide to do and how it works out. Don't forget to include Priceline/Hotwire fee when comparing to traditional rates. As an example, a $6 fee adds up to $3/day for a 2 day rental (not that big of a deal, but still almost 10% of the cost of the rental price)

Keep the Hertz Corporate Rate at $50;

and due to #1 Gold and Corporate Rate, was upgraded to a Mustang [automatic, that was the car waiting for my Wife @ LGA]

Regards,

Michael
