OGG Maui Economy National

[lablover]

I am somewhat new to PRICELINE bidding and new to this forum, and having trouble winning a car rental. So far, I have bid up to $19/day for an economy car with no success. Dates are 10/25-10/31.

Going rates for the same week on Priceline are:

Budget, $182/week, or $26/day

Alamo, $277/week, or $39/day

National, $292/week, or $41/day

Hertz, $378/week, or $53/day

Avis, $377/week, or $53/day

The rate for the Budget rental isn't very much more than I have been bidding, but there seems to be a big jump to the other 4 companies. Anyone have any suggestions? Should I wait until closer to the date and try again?

Thanks!

I would immediately reserve the BUDGET (please use our link) deal as a back-up reservation (assuming it's fully cancellable, which is most likley is, as most rental reservations can be made without even a credit card).

Then continue to bid up until the day of your stay in an attempt to beat your back-up reservation... but given the higher rate of all the other companies, i would lock in the BUDGET rate now; should rate drop, or you success with PRICELINE or HOTWIRE, you can always cancel the back-up reservation without any loss.

Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

Thank you for the advice, and for running such a great site. Just learned about your PRICELINE, HOTWIRE, and support page links, will make sure to use them in the future!

THANKS! Let us know what you ultimately do for this rental.

Use this code J868801 at Avis.

This is a Wedding Invitation Car Rental code and all you need to do is to tell the Avis Rep that you are in Maui for a wedding.

Thanks for all the help. As recommended, I had reserved a car (able to be canceled), but was finally able to win a reasonable bid through priceline! :)
