LAS Las Vegas Minivan Hertz

[SK524]

First time trying Priceline for cars. Used your PRICELINE Car Rental Link.

Car type: Minivan

Your Offer Price: $33.00

Total Rental Days: 3

Subtotal: $99.00

Taxes & Fees: $52.57

Total Charges: $151.57

Think I did ok with this... saved $20 total over Hotwire and $90 over Hertz direct price.

However I suspect I maybe could have done a few dollars better... Yesterday I bid $27 and Priceline responded that my bid seemed low and a $31 bid had a "good chance" of being accepted and $33 had a "great chance". Stuck with $27 to see what happened: rejected.

So today I was going to put in a bid of $30, thinking it would get accepted... PL was now saying I had a "good chance" with $38 and "great chance" with $40. Why such a jump in a day!?! I wondered. Well, yesterday they seemed to be right about me bidding too low ($4 under their "good chance"), so increased a bit, to $33 (still $5 under their "good chance"). When it was accepted I was pleased but also wondered if I could have been accepted with $31 or $32.

All that being said, my husband and his 4 buddies will be splitting the price of the rental so each of them will still be only paying $30 each, and not having to squash into a midsize car. So, not too bad overall.

Yes.... I realize I'm probably overanalyzing these things!! :)

Thanks again for providing such a valuable research service, thereuare & co. !

Thank you for sharing your rental car win with th board and thank you for using our PRICELINE link to begin your bidding.

It's usually best to ignore priceline's "low chance" messages.

Thanks again.
