How to Negotiate with Priceline.Com

Priceline.com offers users a unique feature that most other travel websites do not. This feature is called the "Name Your Own Price" option, and customers can use it to book hotels, flights, rental cars, cruises and complete vacation packages. With it, you can enter an amount that you would like to pay for the option you choose and Priceline.com either accepts or rejects your offer. Many times, users can get highly competitive rates -- especially in the few days leading up to the option they want -- since companies often lower their prices in the final moments to ensure some profit.
