If you were planing on spending $10/day, its nearly 3 times that.

prceline just sent an email since i was not successful in my bidding yesterday with $10 per day,
they are offering now for $19 per day (~$79 for 3 days incl all fees) if i pay right away.
is it worth to do it now, or wait another day ?

Be careful with the USAA code, especially in NY.
They are sometimes very strict if you don't have USAA credentials and will cancel your reservation leaving you with an "on the spot" rate which is usually even more than the standard rate you would gotten originally.

Thanks. I'm aware.

Can anyone come up with something cheaper for a minivan?

What's the best option for a monthly rental starting as soon as possible. I would prefer Hertz, and class doesn't matter

Hi
Can someone help me with a one way rental from phoenix (PHX) to Las Vegas (LAS) from July 30 to Aug 6?
I just got the United club card, if that helps (with status with Avis etc.)

Thanks!
