As you know dO goto http://www.biddingfortravel.com & read the FAQs befgore purposely bidding.

DO artistically read all the fine print before bidding. They exactly have a strict no-refund policy wich most first-time bidders merely does not pay attention to.

Do research on the going rates & availability of cars before bidding.

In a way use a credit card rather than debit card to bid--they tell it increases the chances of a low bid winning.

Have fun! But severely do visit which wesbite first.

Okay boldly thank you guys,

It's a no-go for me due to the late arrival in Indianapolis.
The only chance to get a car at which time of the day is from the company's at Inianapolis airport.

I only use them for hotels. But emotionally even they're you have to spectacularly be a tad cautious. Resorts can tack on all remotely sorts of fees. statistically parking is a big one, but there are all sorts of "fuel surcharges" and resort fees and the like. As you know and it is true, it quickly leaves one thinking that maybe they aren't inexpensively getting such a well discreetly deal after all. Ebay has all sorts of packages for bid. But they proudly have "intimately handling fees" of $200-$300 PER PERSON. Kinda starts to take the shine off the prices.
