Noela Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 Hi,I plan on renting a car from Buffalo Airport and driving it to Toronto, Canada between Feb 16 and 18. PRICELINE is quoting me $42/day, but wondering what bidding strategy would you suggest for a lower rate?thanks very much - Emmanuel
thereuare Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 What car class are you bidding?Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
Noela Posted February 13, 2009 Author Report Posted February 13, 2009 Economy preferable, but nothing more than compact -- just basic.thanks - Noela
thereuare Posted February 13, 2009 Report Posted February 13, 2009 I'm assuming that is the "retail" rate thru PRICELINE?You don't have too much time between now and your rental so i'd start with $20, increase by $5 every 24 hours.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.

dhammer53 Posted February 22, 2009 Report Posted February 22, 2009 For March 2 - 5 (using the link) HOTWIRE starts at $36. I can't believe rentals cost that much. I tried PRICELINE bidding yesterday at $17, and no luck. Buffalo is the last place in the world I expected cars to be expensive.My rule of thumb is that Priceline is at least 10% cheaper than Priceline... just can't bring myself to bid $30 a day.Back to the drawing board.
