Could be. OK, so with a leave date of tomorrow and my bext rebid available tonight at 10pm, does this sound lik ethe right strategy?

Bid $33 / day for convertible - this is only going to be about $90 below what Dollar wants outright and about $150 below what the PL participating companies want. About $270 for a one week rental.

If they reject that, change car type to standard, change bid to $11, and get cheap, though non-convertible car. When I theoretically changed car types before it said something like $10 = Good chnace of acceptance, $11 great chance of acceptance.

Is this the right way to to about it?
Last backup is a standard Hertz rental (compact) at $260/wk.
