I would like to know,whats the best deal I could get renting a car from NYC airports.

With cheap I mean relative to what you get.

I dont mind spending more if I get a super car.

I'm covered by my amex.

What about priceline? its usually $20/day

moish · « **Reply #4 on:** February 08, 2010, 08:46:56 AM »

not at new york its not. hotwire is basically the same idea as priceline just they give you a price as opposed to you bidding. you could check what theyre offering and bid a few dollars less on priceline

the bidding doesnt scare me, because I bid $0.99 if needed (minimum is $20)

in my experience, hotwire for some reason is generally cheaper than priceline on rental cars, once you add in the taxes.

unless you bid a lower amount

SuperFlyer · « **Reply #8 on:** February 09, 2010, 05:09:32 AM »

You cannot bid below $20

I assume you mean in NYC because I've won cars before on Priceline for $7 at other locations.

SuperFlyer · « **Reply #10 on:** February 09, 2010, 12:07:33 PM »

I guess that is what Ive assumed, I never tried it for another location.

for how many days do you need a car

SuperFlyer · « **Reply #12 on:** February 09, 2010, 02:28:23 PM »

Any one have any suggestions on a 2 months rental in nyc area?

md · « **Reply #18 on:** February 12, 2010, 04:50:31 PM »

check out swapalease.com you may be able to find a lease thats almost up. However beware that it can take some time for the lease to transfer. Iv'e heard between 1-4 weeks, depending on the bank.
