Priceline is an online service company, situated in US. It is headquartered in Norwalk, Connecticut, United States. It was started by venture capitalist Jesse Fink and digital entrepreneur Jay Walker.
Priceline provides online services for booking air tickets, hotel reservations, car rentals, vacation packages and cruises. Here people can get the best deals available, with huge discounts on the flights or tours they select. It provides a very good option to view all the prices from all the companies, and select the one that best suits them.
Priceline became very popular with the new system they brought, where the travelers could name the price that they are willing to offer for a particular service, then this would be matched with the prices the companies are offering, and the best deal would be given to the traveler. This offer is called as the “Name Your Own Price”. Booking flights is very simple and also saves a lot of money. There are huge discounts available.
There are options available to select only the flight, or flight with hotel or both with a car. There is 40% discount available when you book a flight through the “Name Your Own Price” scheme. When booking a hotel through
Priceline, you can save up to 50%. You have to give your price and you can bid for the best prices. Hotel booking can be done on the basis of hotel name, hotel brand and star level. Hotels can be booked by from a starting price of $28. Customers can book car rentals and save up to 30%. They just have to select the city, the pick-up and drop-off locations, to search for the best deals available. They also have the option to search by companies and discount codes. How customers get this saving of 30% is, after they have booked a car rental from
Priceline, if they get a better price from a different website within 24 hours, then
Priceline will refund 100% of the difference. But the rental car class, brand, location and dates must be the same.
