I used Priceline for the first time today to book a car rental from an airport in Pittburg to drive to Wichita. However, it was kinda strange that they didn't ask for the creditcard number at all, but only need my name, phone no., and email address. I got the email confirmation but how likely is it that I'll be able to get a car? I thought that Priceline will charge my creditcard right away (ala plane ticket) then the car will be reserve for me. I also check the availability from Orbitz and other sites and they seem to run out of all car (is that possible?), so I am a bit worry now that Priceline let me 'reserve' it without creditcard info... anyone can comment on this? Thank you very much for your input..

Did you use the "name your own price" option on Priceline?

NOT using "name your price" option means you can cancel the reservation at any time without charge, right?
