I started my priceline bid at $20 per day for 12 days and didn't get it, but the popup gave me another shot and my $22 bid (excluding taxes and fees) got accepted by Hertz.
Hmmm - in this case I knew the fees because I had them from the non-accepted 20 bid but not sure how Priceline informs you of fees if your initial bid is accepted.
As always you need to use *great caution* when booking cars because of these extra fees. Some services, like Kayak, include these in their "daily" quote but many car rental sites do NOT include the substantial fees until your final screens, and this can be confusing.
