Normally, I look up the car price on Hotwire and then reduce it about 20-25% and bid on Priceline, eventually beating the Hotwire offer. This time, Hotwire was so cheap, I didn't even bother. Both Hotwire and Priceline use Hertz, Avis, Enterprise, Alamo, and Budget, as I have had cars from all of those.
This approach almost always works to get a much less expensive car. For example, on our most recent trip, the airport rental for a week with a full sized car was over $600. The location less than 2 miles away was $380 on the website. Calling directly to the location (not the 800 number) got it down to $290.
Many people on the Las Vegas forum swear by Priceline for car rentals. I assume Hotwire would be similar. Are you charged at the time you make your reservation? That would be a downside to me. If your flight is delayed or some other emergency happens you have already paid. Still, fo ra substantial savings I would try it.
Hotwire first launched with opaque airline tickets. The company started selling opaque hotels and rental cars a few months later. [citation needed] Package offerings started in 2003. In 2004, Hotwire began to offer select retail travel products. In June 2007, Hotwire removed all airfare booking fees. [citation needed]
3. Re: Arriving late with Priceline or Hotwire car rental. I once had a Hotwire car rental in Austin Texas through Budget. My plane was scheduled to arrive around 7:00PM so I booked a car rental for 8:00pm. However, my plane arrived late and I did not get to the rental counter until a few minutes after midnight.
For folks out looking for a rental car there check with your Costco, BJ's, or Sam's club to see how the rental car prices compare. For Costco just go to the Costco site and use the travel link. They have partnerships with many of the major car rental companies. We happened to use Alamo both times b/c they were the least expensive with Costco.
