Step Two – Determine your smartest bid

Priceline rule: you can rebid immediately only by changing dates or airport. Otherwise, wait 24 hours to rebid.

Be more aggressive with a lower bid:

If you can rebid for a different date or airport immediately.
If you have leeway to rebid in 24 hours.
And even lower if can rebid every 24 hours for 2 or more days.
Or if willing to accept the regular no bidding price.

Step Three - Place your bid

Remember: no refunds, no changes.
Enter name exactly as appears on driver’s license.
Bid up to 2 hours prior to pickup if car is available.

Have all drivers sign contract upon pickup. Otherwise, voids insurance.
