I've never seen this before. While booking a roundtrip to PIT on Orbitz, one of the options was to add a car rental. My options were $30.81 for Budget or $100+ for Alamo. Lowest price for ANY car rental company at PIT that day is $96.

Needless to say, I grabbed the Budget rate through Orbitz. I thought it was going to be a Priceline-type "Name Your Own Price" where it would be a non-refundable rental, but it wasn't. Not payable until pickup of the car.

Never seen this before with Orbitz or anyone else (with the exception of making a Priceline "Name Your Own Price" hotel reservation and seeing the "want to add a rental car" at cheap rate (which are also bid amounts and I've never had any of those actually accepted..But it's a great idea for Orbitz and Budget, and I saved a bunch on this cancelable reservation with Budget..
