degobahjunk70 Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 I actually bid $19/day for a compact and then chose the $3/day upgrade to a Midsize (which they called Intermediate & momentarily fooled me into thinking that Intermediate was larger than Midsize! Oh well.All bids took place within 15 minutes:1st bid - $19/day for a Midsize --> rejected recommended I offer $24-$25/day2nd bid - $19/day for a Fullsize --> rejected recommended I offer $24-$25/day3rd bid - $19/day for a Compact --> accepted upgraded to Midsize at $22/dayWith taxes, etc for a 7 day (1 week) rental it'll cost $238.77 TOTAL. = $34.11/day including taxes & feesWAY better than the $482.00 (with a -$50 PC & my AAA discount!) price I was quoted for the Midsize car at the Hertz website! Even paying an extra $65 so my spouse can drive, it'll still be much less than getting the same privilege for "free" if the rental were to cost $482.00! $482.00 = $68.86/day including taxes & fees!I got 50% off!!!I rented from PRICELINE using the links from this website (but I forgot to sign in first so I hope it still counts.)Thanks for a great website!
