I then had to research a hotel and a car rental.\u00a0 My car rental research told me that the car would cost a minimum of $77 for the two days in the Geo Metro equivalent.\u00a0 I tried\u00a0 a few more sites, and found no results.\u00a0 I turned to Priceline and gave them $20\/day as a bid for a better car.\u00a0 Instantly I was accepted, which would be a great success for most people, but I was frustrated that I might have gotten a better deal had I have bid lower.\u00a0 Hahahah.\u00a0 That is a cheap traveler mentality.
