| Description | Priceline is the inventor of the "Name Your Own Price" bidding service, in which you name your price, a general location, service level and dates, then hotels/airlines/rental car companies decide whether to take the offer. It also offers Express Deals, which could be 60% off from the published price. In both cases, name of the exact service provider is not disclosed before you complete the transaction, with no rights to cancel. Additionally, Priceline.com offers Tonight-Only Deals for last minute hotel deal hunters and well-around services including rental cars, airline tickets, vacation packages and cruises. |
