Car Rental Deals

[sitnspin]

Do any of you have any tips or tricks to snagging a good deal?  I might just roll up to the airport without a reservation, but I thought I would ask first.

Thanks!

Bid on a car on Priceline! I've gotten amazing deals ($8/day!), even when booking within hours of pickup

I have never tried it, but am willing to give that a shot.  Expedia is saying $62/day for a midsized.  Ew.

Are you talking about your trip to FL? I mean, I know time of year plays a factor but we got a car in February for <$40/day picking up at Orlando and dropping off in Tampa

ETA: for midsize

Through Priceline?

yes, sitnspin, through bidding on Priceline. I *think* it was $25 (?) but then with taxes or fees it was near $40

I have tried up to $50 just now with no luck

Hotwire? Or Google rental car discount codes, sometimes I am able to find a good one.
