Drop Off Date & Time tues feb 3 11:30 am
Preferred Car Size: minivan or anything else with at least 7 seats

Best quote: $223 on Hotwire

I've been checking costco travel daily and the lowest I've ever seen was 287.
Btw I got a minivan for $150 through costco last year(basically same dates)
Do you think priceline bidding a few days before is the best way to roll?
Thank you so much!
