krlbrgmnn Posted July 13, 2007 Report Posted July 13, 2007 Lowest price for this timeframe and car category at any website I checked was $35/day. Since Priceline says up to 30% less than the lowest published rates, I calc'd $24.50 and thus bid $25 for my first try, which won:Economy(unlimited mileage) Bos Logan Apo MaAvis Rent a CarLogan ApoEast Boston, MA 2128Pick-Up Date and Time: Thursday, July 26, 2007 - 1:00 PMDrop-Off Date and Time: Tuesday, July 31, 2007 - 1:00 PM Your Offer Price: $25.00 Total Rental Days: 5 Subtotal: $125.00 Taxes & Fees: $40.43 Total Charges: $165.43 Lowest Published Price: $436.26 <-- this number is not to be believed; Avis own website has this listed for a total of $342, without any effort at discountingTotal Savings: $270.83 (you saved 62%)I perhaps could have done better, as I've since checked this site and found much higher catergory cars going for much less in prior years. But I still see that Hotwire, as of today, has only a slightly better $34/day for this date range & category.
