HiThere Posted August 14, 2008 Report Posted August 14, 2008 Am I bidding too early? Maybe people have listed wins for $11 for an economy car but I have gone up to $13 and not won. Is there a post I missed about needing to be last minute or something?
szymon Posted August 14, 2008 Report Posted August 14, 2008 $13 per day * 7 days = $133.79 for an economy car total.Simplywheelz.com (by Hertz) has an economy car for $108.12 total for your dates. I suggest you book it before rates increase. Note: AAA rate is $103.63 if you're eligible.Szymon
HiThere Posted August 15, 2008 Author Report Posted August 15, 2008 Cool- but unfortunately you have to take a shuttle which kind of sucks. At least they didn't require my credit card.I am still looking for something at the airport though.

szymon Posted August 15, 2008 Report Posted August 15, 2008 Uh I am 80% certain they won't give you rentals that are not at the airport (i.e., needing a shuttle)- at least I have never had one.Hertz does come up on Priceline wins at MCO:http://www.betterbidding.com/show.php/showtopic/46032http://www.betterbidding.com/show.php/showtopic/45801At some airports, all cars are off site (consolidated rental car centers such as Las Vegas). With PRICELINE there is no way to guarantee this.The Hertz shuttle at MCO is very quick and efficient, and with Simply Wheelz you use a kiosk so no wait in line at the counter.Szymon
HiThere Posted August 15, 2008 Author Report Posted August 15, 2008 I stand corrected (I also verified with PRICELINE). I guess I will take my Payless Car Rental deal (even cheaper than Hertz), unless ther eis some reason hertz is better?I always (in the past) have gotten one of the ones in the airport. Must have been lucky 4 years in a row.Thanks
HiThere Posted August 25, 2008 Author Report Posted August 25, 2008 I got it!Finally. Aug 25, booked for Sept 21 - 28, $10 per day, Avis, compactIt seems like I needed to be under a month. I can cancel the horrible payless now.
