I am trying to rent a car for my trip to orlando on June 22-25. However, I am 22 and PRICELINE wont take my bids. I have even bid a few dollars over their asking price. Any suggestions? Also, I get the following response to many of my bids:
Unfortunately, our Name Your Own Price service was unable to locate an available rental car for the area and dates you selected. However, we have found a broad selection of rental car options below. Does it mean anything specific? Thanks for the help in advance
Welcome to BetterBidding How much have you already bid? What price are you refering to that PRICELINE suggested you bid? (as priceline doesn t typically offer an asking price) What is the rate they re offering thru the retail product once your bid is rejected? Does HOTWIRE show anything thru the opaque service for an under 25 driver... how much? Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.
The prices cheapest car rentals you re quoting above (and offered thru the retail outlets) are for standard rates... cheapest car rentals if you reserved those cars there would be an underage driver fee added at the rental counter (can be upwards of 10- 25+/day). PRICELINE includes this amount in your bid, so your non-SUV bids already placed woudln t even be enough to cover this fee, let alone the car. I suspect you re going to have to bid much higher to have a chance at winning a PRICELINE car rental bid. What is the best rate you re able to find for a rental including the underage rental fee (if the option to select an underage driver isn t available thru Orbitz , Expedia , Travelocity , etc, you may have to search directly at Budget , Dollar , Enterprise , Thrifty )
Right now PRICELINE is quoting 8-Economy, 8-Compact, 11-midsize through Payless. HOTWIRE is quoting 16, 17, and 19 for those sizes. I really need a car and it is Thursday, what do you think is a solid bid on the midsize?
So it appears that your best deal currently is ~ 22 thru PRICELINE and payless, correct? Payless is not a company that PRICELINE deals with on the opaque/bidding side of their service, and given the HOTWIRE prices you re quoting, i m assuming that including the underate drive fee will have those companies more inline with about 33- 35. So go thru PRICELINE and purchasing cheapest car rentals the Payless offer may be your best deal, but to try and do better, how high would you be willing to bid in order to try to do better than the 22 rate thru payless/ PRICELINE ?

A friend of mine ended up coming with us and had an Avis corporate code that does not charge an underage fee and includes free insurance. cheapest car rentals The price was slightly higher than normal, but it beat having to pay an underage driver fee by A LOT
