Priceline did not have the best price period. There may be lots of reasons or various compaines, but their bidding process which has never failed me in the past, failed this time.

It does not participate with EZ link.So not fair to say that PL did not have the lowest price. An analogy is -- Southwest Air.It doesn't participate with PL ,,so even though it can have lower rates than PL--we cant say that PL did not have the lowest rate. In this case-You should have the checked the rates of the 5 rental companies PL has links with.Then you could have bid and got a reduced price on those 5 companies. You should have compared only companies that have links with PL--be it either airlines/hotels/rental cars. Thanks a lot for your info,news and opinions on travel.Learned quite a bit from your website.
