liar Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Probably not the best deal since that's before I discovered this forum haha. I saw a HOTWIRE hot deal a couple of days before my bid on PRICELINE for about $35 a day for a convertible from Thrifty but when i was ready to bid that price went away and replaced by $50ish.so I bid $33 on PRICELINE and got accepted. probably should have started a bit lower but that price is well within my price range.Here are the details the fees and tax are horrible :)Pick-Up Location:National Car RentalSEATTLE ARPT 17801 International Blvd1st FloorSeattle,WA 981581-888-227-7368 Your Offer Price: $33.00 (per day) Total Rental Days: 8 days(7 days and 23 hours) Subtotal: $264.00 Taxes and Fees: $160.56 Total Charges: $424.56 Lowest Published Price: $618.99 Total Savings:* $194.43 (You saved 31%) Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Congratulations on your win!Unfortunately taxes and fees on rental cars are horrible everywhere... they're usually the scapegoat for local taxes (easy to get the voters to approve taxing rental cars since most of them will never rent a car from the local airport) and also a source to fund airport renovations and exapansion.Thanks for sharing your PRICELINE win with the board.Have a good trip. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
