shernuf Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Has anyone had any experience using Priceline to name their own price for a one way rental?Specifically, my wife and I are going to the Big Island of Hawaii and flying into Hilo so we're closer to the Volcano and flying out a week later from Kona.Priceline name your own price doesn't let you rent from one airport and drop off at another.I was wondering if anyone had any experience doing this on the Big Island.Is there a fee to pay?If you let them know in advance do they waive it?Current rentals for the December 13 - 20 are running around $300 on Car Rental Checker so I could save some money if I knew it was possible even with a fee.Thanks for your help.

thereuare Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Do you mean book a roundtrip car rental and then simply return it to the airport of your choosing?You'll be a hefty fee for doing so... not recommended. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
shernuf Posted November 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 What I ended up doing was getting a one way rental from Hilo to Kona for one day.Went with National since they were the cheapest compact in the car rental checker for $81Then I booked a Kona 7 day rental with priceline for $17/day for $170.96 total with Hertz.The total if I booked without priceline for 8 days from Hilo to Kona would have been $381 so I saved roughly $130. :) Link to comment

lazybummm Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 I went to the Big Island with my family this past christmas. Instead of one way, we just drove back to Hilo. I got up early in the morning and it was a 2 1/2 hour easy driving, although from waikoloa area... Link to comment
