They did not give me a car rental. When I called Priceline and explained the situation, Priceline refused to return my money. Therefore, Priceline took $73 from me for nothing.
If you don't have 200 bucks to spare for situations like this, you shouldn't be renting a car in the first place. Having to pay a few 100 $ deposit is very normal when renting a car.

Did you not have a credit card to pay the deposit with?
