Car rental prices might decrease over time as the rental getting closer to its due date.
I encountered it when booked a car rental, waited for about a month, cancelled and then re-booked again.
I rented from https://www.booking.com/cars
These are the rental prices over the months before the rental due date:
- $547.73 (first price) - cancelled
- $502.27 - cancelled
- $475.10 - cancelled
- $439.86 - final price
Similar happened to me, I booked a gas car but received a hybrid instead.
I’m curious, what’s the advantage of renting not from the airport? I prefer the airport because it’s easy to locate, especially when the airport is new and I’m dizzy after long flights
If you really are dizzy after a long flight, you probably shouldn’t be driving, especially in an unfamiliar car in an unfamiliar area. Maybe you were just being hyperbolic about the dizziness, but people can make the same kinds of mistakes driving while sleep deprived as while driving intoxicated.
I assume outside of an airport is cheaper
OP just said it. Because 50% of the time they gave them a compact/full size car for the price of a compact.
