I want to put in a bid for a hotel room in the Orlando Airport area, a geographic range which Priceline allows me to specify. But how can I be sure that the selected hotel will provide courtesy shuttle service to/from the airport, especially a hotel in the economy price bracket? If there's no courtesy shuttle and I'm not renting a car, the effective price goes through the roof. Can I limit my request to hotels with courtesy shuttles, or can I assume that all airport-area Priceline participants have them?
Thanks for the assistance!

You cannot assume that all hotels in any airport zone that Priceline offers provide a shuttle. Some don't, especially at the economy level.

If there is plenty availability for the dates you are bidding, you shouldn't have a problem getting a 3* hotel in the Orlando Airport zone for $30 plus the $5 bonus money (info. about the bonus money is in the FAQ referenced below) or less. I believe all the 3* hotels we've seen come up in the Orlando Airport zone have a complimentary airport shuttle except the Hyatt Regency because it is located inside the airport.

You'll learn a lot about Priceline bidding if you read the FAQs and as many posts as you can on the board I administer to discuss Priceline travel bidding at http://www.BiddingForTravel.com

Hey Sherly,

Why don't you tell us exactly what your relationship is with Priceline. What do they pay you?

VicOsaki,

Do you search the board daily looking for a Sheryl post so that you can stir up trouble?
Get over it already.
