\"Priceline<\/a><\/span><\/h4>\n

Priceline Review – Here’s what we really like:<\/h3>\n

Priceline has a couple of guarantees that we like. The first is the Priceline Express Deal Guarantee<\/a>\"\"\u00a0which will refund you a whopping 200% of any “Express Deal” booking if you find a lower price (including taxes\/fees) up until Midnight before your travel date. This Priceline guarantee covers every hotel booking that was marked an “Express Deal” \u00a0– which is pretty amazing because these are their most heavily discounted hotels that don’t require any bidding. This is where you will find their current Express Deals for hotels<\/a>\"\".\u00a0For all other bookings (excluding “Name Your Own Price”), Priceline has a Best Price Guarantee<\/a>\"\"\u00a0that applies to bookings for flights, hotels, rental cars, cruises and vacation packages up until Midnight before you travel, but you’ll just get a full refund (100%) without any additional incentives.<\/p>\n

How good are the prices on Priceline “Name Your Own Price”?<\/h3>\n

Priceline claims that you can save up to 40% on flights<\/a>\"\", 60% on hotels<\/a>\"\", and 40% on rental cars<\/a>\"\" if you use the Priceline Negotiator to “Name Your Own Price”<\/em>. So, there are some amazing deals here, but there are some things to be aware of. These bookings are non-refundable and unchangeable (all sales are final, so you cannot cancel your reservation), so make sure you know what you are getting into. The best way to protect yourself is to\u00a0obtain travel cancellation insurance here<\/a>.\u00a0Also you will not know the name of the hotel, airline, or flight times until after you have agreed to a deal – so you need to be a little flexible. However, if your travel plans are solid and you want the best price, this is where to go, especially for last minute travel.<\/p>\n
