balazer Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 $9 + $16.68 taxes and fees = $25.685/20/2007 9:30 pm - 5/21/2007 9:30 pmBest listed price was $15 + fees from Enterprise. Hotwire was $13, though if I followed through with Hotwire it would instantly lower the price to $10. Link to comment
baldtomato Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 when all the PL fees are taken into account ... isn't that costing about the same or even more than directly renting from Avis? Is this only happening with single-day rental, or does PL also work out to be not-so-good-deal when doing one single bid for multi day rental? Link to comment
mrxow Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 I find priceline usually isn't worth the trouble for short rentals. I wouldn't even bother with a one day bid. You probably aren't going to save much and you're locked in.Often, I find other options for exactly 7 days to be better, too.Where priceline really shines is on the 4-5 day rentals and those between a week and two weeks. Going direct, they stick it to you with daily rates or charge you for a week when you are only using it for 5 days or tack on a high daily rate for the 8th or 9th days. Under these circumstances, Priceline often takes bids that beat direct bookings. Link to comment
roothy Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 But aren't you charged the taxes and fees whether you go with Priceline or the companies themselves? Link to comment
