The rate was good, nothing great. Today just for fun rechecked, and without changing anything for discount codes or anything, it was less then half of what it was yesterday at this time. Now it's a great rate for a day's rental.
Granted it doesn't happen all the time (one next weekend in SFO did not change, actually would go up fifty cents if I repriced it) but sometimes they do.
I generally do it several days before the rental, and it's surprising. I'm renting a compact this weekend for a day that went down from an already nice $12.50 to an amazing $9.50 all in (w/ corporate code & discount code)
