GM1979 Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 Trying to get a car for the dates posted. I would prefer a compact for as little as possible or possibly a few bucks more for a SUV (a Jeep Wrangler would be fun). The rest of the cars I placed a bid on just for good measure. Here are the results.Feb 09, 2009All RejectedEconomy $7Compact $11Midsize $10Standard $10Full Size $8Premium $8Luxury $15Convertable $17SUV $15MiniVan $5
thereuare Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 Your prices above are all over the map (bidding less for a premium than you did a compact... $5 for a Minivan??)What is the best rate you're able to get thru traditaional booking channels for an acceptable vehicle for this trip?Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

GM1979 Posted February 10, 2009 Author Report Posted February 10, 2009 I did that intentionally because I don't really want a premium, luxury, minivan...ect. If they somehow accepted a bid for $5 I would take it, but I'm really looking for a Compact or a possibly a SUV. I have a reservation for a Compact through budget and its $24.55 per day. I'm going to rebid tonight on the Compact and SUV.
