HNL Honolulu Midsize Alamo

[travelAlot]

Pretty methodical bids with time to spare. Nlot sure if previous bids were rejected because my credit card was used on a friend's account (I was paying for the rental and my ccard has been used for my account's PL bookings). Research indicated that $13 compact/$14 midsize was getable -- Hotwire showed $18.95/19.95 respectively

Anyhow, began biding at $11/12 per day for compact and midsize, increasing the bids by $1 daily until accepted. Had $5 bonus/day so ended up at $11/day for $54 total. Had a great Alamo compact rate on a courtesy hold for $73 so saved $20, which will cover parking for 2 nights (picking up on Friday am and returning late Sunday night).

One tip to anyone bidding in HNL:

be very careful of Priceline's fees/taxes amount as it can wildly vary more than in any city I've observed. Originally the fees were about $17-19 and even yesterday the compact tax/fee was $30+ (I bid for compact later in the day when it was back under $20). Friom what I could determine, the taxes/fees were automatically 50% more proportionately for any vehicle class above midsize. As i know this can affect total price and "real" savings, just wanted to point this out.

Linked via the Better Bidding PRICELINE link, then logged into PL account/bonus offer link, and then made the bid.
