HiThere Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share 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? Link to comment
szymon Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share 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 Link to comment
HiThere Posted August 15, 2008 Author Report Share 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. Link to comment

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 Link to comment
HiThere Posted August 15, 2008 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment
