William Shatner Slashes Rental Car Rates on Priceline

If our recent one-way road trip got you all worked up and you feel the need to get behind the wheel of a rental car, you might want to check out the current deals on hand at Priceline.

Now that William Shatner, aka The Negotiator, is clearly jealous of all the Star Trek movie attention, he's been slashing rental car rates on Priceline in hopes of getting the attention back on him. Using the site’s Name Your Own Price feature you can save up to 30% off published rates, which is the usual deal they always offer. However, now they are promoting rates over 50% off in some of your favorite cities. Boston and Tampa seem to be two great places to start a trip, since economy cars start at only $13 a day. That leaves a lot of left over cash to spend on lobster, chowder, and whatever food Tampa offers—Applebee’s?

When you use Priceline’s bidding system, you won’t know what car company you’ll get until your price has been accepted. However, they do only work with the big boys of the rental wreck industry, so you’ll likely be behind the wheel of a Hertz, National, Avis, or Alamo offering.

If you scored a great deal thanks to The Negotiator, be sure to brag about it in the comments below.
