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.
As long as you have a print out reservation confirming your rate, the rental car company is required to honor it- providing that you arrive on time, of course. If you end up being delayed or need to change your reservation- call ALWAYS. If you try to re-book it or edit it online the price may rise, however if you call to move the reservation, the agent will only change your pick up date/time (I would confirm your rate with the agent though, should you decide to do this).
