The pandemic has affected nearly every facet of our lives. Even renting a car is difficult because the supply is low. And that means rental fees are up. Way up.
When folks locked down in March 2020, travel for fun and business fell off the cliff. Car rental companies whittled their fleets by nearly two-thirds, selling off hundreds of thousands of cars. The very cars that you rented to get from the airport to your vacation destination or the big conference.
Fast forward to March 2021 when COVID vaccinations started rolling out across the country. People began to travel (or at least work out logistics) and needed rental cars.
But it is going to take time for the car rental business to get their wheels going again. The best advice now is to book as far ahead as possible.
