Car Rental on Priceline

I just rented a car for our trip on Priceline. Has anyone done this and did you have any problems?

I was able to get a GREAT deal for a car from Alamo. ($20 a day for 5 days) But now I'm worried that it might be too good to be true.

Any experiences to share?

I rented from Priceline one year and had no problems. They gave me Hertz at a great price.

I used Priceline last March. I ended up with National and had no problems. The reservation was in the system. We paid $20/day...I think....LOL! I know it was a great deal.
The guy at the Nat'l rental counter at MCO was kind of slimey though and did try to upsell me from the economy car I rented. I resisted and as it turned out when we got out to the garage there were no eceonomy cars left anyway and we ended up with a standard!

Does it have to be an airport location with Priceline or can you put in a city location near WDW?

I've been using Priceline quite often the past couple of years without any surprises. Every time I get Alamo.
