uop1497 Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 I think you are bidding to low for all the cars. I have tried to bid for a full size car over 2 weeks now, and keep getting rejected from Priceline. My last bid for full size car at HNL airport get rejected at $23/day (bidding price). However, I am able to get a full size car for $22/day at OGG airport. Link to comment
traceyn Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 My winning bid is posted in this Priceline Rental Car thread, but I started bidding about 6 weeks out from our trip and kept getting rejected. I finally won last week - our trip is 4/11 - 4/17. Link to comment
grant wiscour Posted April 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 This morning I noticed that rental car rates have dropped in HNL.I have updated my backup reservation with Alamo again using the entertainment.com coupon and discount.My new backup reservation is for a Full-Size Car - $359.25 (12 Days plus one extra hour)/ @ $29.94 per day total. The total includes $.50 per day fee for frequent flier miles.The price drop shows that it makes good sense to start bidding early and don't get over-anxious...rates could drop. Link to comment
