Question Priceline rental car

It looks like it is much more expensive to rent a car in the summer than in the shoulder season. Is the price we name always for the unlimited mile rate? I would hate to win the low bid, and find out the miles are restricted, or we cannot take the car to Canada.

Priceline rentals are always unlimited miles.

Question

Some rental car companies (Enterprise) do not allow unlimited miles when taking car from one state to another (Washington to Montana) or from Canada to US (Alberta to Montana). How can we find out about the terms and conditions for each rental car company before bidding on priceline ?


Also, is the rental car weekly rate in the summer usually 2 times more than the rate in the fall?

Have you considered asking Priceline what their policies are on car rental mileage? When I asked them that question, they said that all Priceline rentals had unlimited mileage.

I suggest you ask Priceline, though, because if it became an issue, I'm willing to wager you're not going to get very far by protesting that "someone on the internet told me that rentals were unlimited mileage".

You don't have to ask, it's right there in their rental car policies. All priceline rental cars include unlimited mileage.

For your convenience, all cars rented through priceline come with unlimited mileage.
Car rental prices are based on supply and demand. Depending on the demand where you're renting, sure, prices can be double what they are in a busy time versus a slack period.
