I often use Hotwire when I travel (as long as there is no possibility of cancellation) and just checked their site for a two day, mid-week minivan rental. It was $44/day also, so it seems like you did fine. I didn't check other types of cars.
Car rental prices fluctuate depending on location, projected volume and length of rental. I always start with Hotwire and Priceline. If I'm planning ahead, I check back often until a couple weeks prior, then call one or two agencies direct to see if they can match the price online. If they can, I book direct because they have no-fee cancellation. Hotwire requires payment up-front and is non-refundable.
