HotPrice Posted March 31, 2003 Report Posted March 31, 2003 Pick-up: Thursday, 5/15 at 9:00 PMDropoff: Monday, 5/19 at 9:00 PMBase Rate/Day: $18.95No. of Days: 4Subtotal: $75.80Total Taxes and Fees: $29.02Total: $104.82Car Company: HertzI tried to bid on Priceline at $15/night. Strangely, the taxes/fees on that Priceline bid ($60 subtotal for four days) would have been $36, which is $7.00 more than the taxes/fees on Hotwire. Add the Priceline fee, and the total Priceline bid would have only beaten this total price by $2.00. So I didn't bother bidding on Priceline for that small a difference.
thereuare Posted March 31, 2003 Report Posted March 31, 2003 Nice to see some car rentals getting used/accepted (and at $19/day no less!!).Thanks for posting your results at the board, it's very much appreciated. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
iahphx Posted May 6, 2003 Report Posted May 6, 2003 See my discussion of PHX fees and taxes (HERE) in the car rental deals thread. They certainly are mysterious -- and amazingly high! FWIW, I don't think you can save money on a car rental using priceline or hotwire. Go to Orbitz, and see the low rates -- you'll need one, given how much you're going to pay in taxes and fees!
