My understanding is that you have to go to www.autoslash.com/track and put in the details from the Priceline reservation in order to have the reservation tracked for price drops. And then when it happens, rinse and repeat.

I find the Priceline links to be pretty obvious in terms of what class car I'm looking for; almost always at the top of the list.

The whole reservation/tracking process is MUCH more cumbersome than it used to be and I dearly hope Autoslash can find a less workload-on-the-user source for bookings and will once again automatically re-book price drops.

That said, I will continue to go through the cumbersome process of reserving with Priceline (and put up with their subsequent spammy emails), putting details in Autoslash/track, getting a price drop, re-reserve, cancel old one, re-track. Why? They have continued to save me major dollars, although I will admit that the auto rental companies have made it much more difficult to use Autoslash -- which is regrettable.
