travelmiser Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 I am planning on bidding on Priceline for a car. Feb 14 - 23. Any tips? And does it include insurance? I don't need insurance so is there a way to turn it off in the bid process?Thanks Link to comment

travelmiser Posted November 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Hi Yellow dog, thanks once again for the reply. The best I have seen is $703 direct at airport, however bidding on priceline has been tough. They are very high right now at $450 and up even for economy. The taxes and fees are killer. I have received emails from them stating people have been getting 13/14/15 dollars a day out of orlando - but this cannot seriously be possible when I check what they consider good chance and best chance the cheapest is $36 going up to $79! Any help would be appreciated. Again dates for rental are February 14 - 23 with 9:am pick up and drop off.Thanks, travelmiser Link to comment
thereuare Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 I'm guessing that this is winter break for many public schools and many families taking Disney vacations... this often means increased demand and fewer excess inventory for the rental companies to offer the opaque suppliers at deeply discounted rates.What is the best daily rate excluding taxes and fees?Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.
