dotty Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 Hi, I am new to this amazing forum. I was just trying the "name your own price" feature on Priceline to rent a car in Aruba for a week from Jan 23/10, but then was not offered an option to name my price. Instead, a page showed up with a number of different car rental companies with weekly prices, no better than what I can get on line the regular route. Earlier, I had already tried to get a deal by using some of the discount codes, no deal there either...Am I doing something wrong? Should I have tried for less than a week? Has anyone recently succeeded in bidding for a car rental in Aruba? Would appreciate to hear from you. Link to comment
AaronJB Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 Welcome to Betterbidding! :)I'm guessing your bid was not accepted and you were taken to the retail side of the service.What would be your max bid per night, and what have you already bid?Please use the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links.

dotty Posted November 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 With the car rental there was no place to actually name my price, so I did not get a chance to place a bid, unlike the website where I just bid for a hotel room. There I could enter a price in a blank space. With the car rental I saw a button saying "name your price", but no blank space. After clicking on the button, yes, the retail service appeared. Am I overlooking something? Link to comment
thereuare Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 I'm guessing PRICELINE doesn't offer rental car bidding in Aruba, so you're being re-directed to the 'retail' section of their site.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.
