Thanks again. Best beginning is to post in the appropriate state category your seeking the zones, star level, dates, price range and star level that you are seeking. We'll then take a look at Hotwire and previous Priceline results to determine what is the best course of action for your stay. Generally speaking Priceline will cost you a little bit less, but give you a bit more control of the hotel you will receive.
As well, if specific amenities are important to you ie- pool, airport shuttle, suite, kitchenette, etc then Hotwire gives you the ability to choose a hotel with these options PS -when faced with such a situation I know that you can re-bid for hotels and airline tickets, but is there a way to re-bid for rental cars? Use our Car Rental Price Checker to get an idea of direct prices. I was picking up a car at AM in the morning on a Friday and dropping it off at PM in the evening. This means that I would have the car for 6 days and 12 hours, but from the perspective of the rental car companies that it is 7 days.
In order to get the second bid, I changed the return date to Friday at AM, which means that I am saying that I am returning the car 2 hours and 5 minutes later. So now I am saying that I will have the rental cars for 6 days and 14 hours and 5 minutes, which from the perspective of the rental car comanies is still 7 days.
This is win-win. I get to make a second bid and I am sure the rental car company won't be upset when I return the car 2 hours and 5 minutes early. On your first bid attempt, you say that you will return the car the following Friday at AM. If your bid fails, you can make a second bid attempt by changing the return date to Thursday night at pm this is 6 days, 14 hours, and 30 minutes, which is still 7 rental car days.
Of course in this case, the rental car is expecting the car earlier and theoretically are expecting to rent the car out at that time. As a courtesy, you can warn the rental car that you will be returing the car later than expected, but before you feel guilty you should realize that the ultimate point is that you did pay for the full 7 days.

Heck no, they need the business! Just my wild guess. Posted July 19, This is true if a zone is uniquely pricey compared to where you're actually bidding.

A long time ago, I wrote a post on another blog about how to use Name Your Own Price to get a cheap hotel room in Priceline. Three years later, I still love it. In fact, I just used it three week ago when I went down to Atlanta for a blog conference. Priceline speaks my love language. This list is not going to be hundred percent accurate!
This is just to give you a reasonably good idea of what kind of hotels you have a shot at getting in any particular zone or star level. Once you have a feel for the hotels in the area, I usually go back to the main list for the city and see what people have been paying for hotels:. You also need to put in the name of the person the reservation will be in.
You can wait 24 hours and start over. Hmmm, I was just about to book our Christmas hotel, but I might need to look into this.
