And you neither send alerts on searches but only on reservations, so I should make 20 reservations to know that after 1 month the price would be 1% less?

it's 2021.

That could work 30 years ago.
You seem to not understand the value of what AutoSlash does so let us take a moment to explain. The pricing you see on most sites is just the "rack rate" (i.e. undiscounted). Coupons and discount codes can lower your price significantly. AutoSlash has a database of hundreds of coupons and discount codes in our system and we're adding new ones every single day (and removing the ones that are no longer productive as well). When you enter a request for a quote, our systems runs hundreds of searches using every combination we can to find you the lowest possible rate. There is no other site our there that doesn't anything remotely close to this.

That's all well and good, but getting the best possible deal today doesn't necessarily mean that you've got the best deal tomorrow, or next week, or the day before you pick up the rental because prices can change multiple times a day. That's why we offer our tracking feature. You enter the basic details of your reservation and we keep checking multiple times a day to see if there are any better deals. We have people who re-book many, many times--each time lowering their price. Sometimes it's 10% lower and sometimes it's 70% lower. It just really depends on the situation.

We get that our service may not meet your needs, but what you're looking for just does not exist, so it's basically AutoSlash or running all the searches manually, and even then, you're just going to be getting undiscounted rates, so it's going to be a huge waste of time. Hope this helps!
