west just site was just $3.39 a day!! for a total of $33 and was a mid size instead of an economy car. I'm sure this deal was mostly the fact that over the weekend a lot of cars were just sitting there. But at other times I have received the best price this way. But with a little leg work with Hotwire / Priceline sounds like you save even more. We have a trip to the US planned for July and will be renting a car. I would like to try the hotwire/priceline thing, but we have the requirement to pick up in one city and drop off in another. I don't know if that's possible with those sites. The drop off charges vary from $100 to $500 and depend on which city you are dropping off in. 3. bm2wong A couple of suggestions: - Autoslash is a price aggregator for car rentals. Try them out to see what the best deal is with specific coupons; the search is somewhat hit/miss depending on the destination - if you think the best deal is through Priceline/Hotwire, check out BetterBidding.com. You can find results from other folks for your specific times and locations. - check to see if your company has a corporate discount that can be shared with employees. I work for a large telecommunications company and there is a specific discount code for a major car rental company that gives me the best deal right now. 4. Trevor How
