As for how it works, nothing out of the ordinary but only one driver is allowed. The company you get may allow an additional driver for a fee, but you won't know that until you show up to pick up the car. As with all car rentals, insurance is not included. You also have to present a credit card to guarantee any damage charges when you pick up the car and it doesn't have to be the same card you used for Priceline.
I operate BiddingForTravel.com which assists people bidding on Priceline, primarily for hotels, but to a lesser degree, for rental cars.
Agreed.. plus you can't cancel at its face.. so you're out the dough bidding on priceline..
But with AutoSlash.. you can cancel anytime.. they input your info, and when a better deal comes up, AutoSlash automatically cancels your reservation and reserves at the lower rate..
Very useful!^
