Oh, it is ridiculous!!!! I sort of posted about it on the Budget forum.
I'm trying to get a mini van for a week at SFO in August. I struggled to find one for 400.00 a week (inc. taxes). Plenty of places wanted 700.00 a week. OUTRAGEOUS!!!
I tried PL "name your own price" and was rejected up to 35.00 a day.
So I booked through PL regular service and used a coupon and since I can cancel it, I'm going to try again 2 weeks before I go to get a cheaper price by using PL.
Since everyone wants sub-compact and compact, I figure I'd be o.k with a mini van. Hey, I'd even take an SUV as long as it fit 7 people.
Crazy...
