The three June days were spent in a rented car. There is an SUV for a long weekend in the summer. In August, you can tour the Algarve in a family-friendly automatic. Costs aren't the only problem, there aren't any cars to rent in some destinations
Why did it happen? The war in Ukranian, the chip shortage, and the Pandemic are some of the things that have been reported. The car rental market could change forever. If enough people are willing to share their cars with strangers, peer-to-Peer car sharing could become a mainstream alternative.
The car rental market fell off a cliff in early 2020 as a result of the global security scares. Avis-Budget lost almost two-thirds of its airport rental business in 2020. The revenue at Europcar was down 42 percent in 2020 and the revenue athertz was down 46 percent before it filed for Chapter 11.
Rental companies sold off their cars to make up for the chaos. According to the British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association (BVRLA), fleets were slashed in the UK. The company had over one million vehicles in the year. That fell to 481,000 in the first quarter of 2022. In the first quarter of 2020, Europcar had 293,000 vehicles, but in the second quarter of 2020 they had 180,000.
The industry's two key markets, businesses and vacation travelers, were stuck at home as a result. He says there is no point in holding on to depreciating assets.
Car rental companies couldn't replenish because of a chip shortage that was caused by complex supply chains that rely on parts made or assembled in Ukranian The price of a car in a rental lot more than doubled. Car rental costs went up by an average of 135 percent in Portugal, Cyprus, Spain, Greece, Italy, and France over Easter. It's logical for prices to increase because you're buying the car for more, you're fueling it for more, and there's more demand
There is nothing you can do about it. It's best to book ahead if you want to avoid expensive rental quotes or find out you can't get a car for your family holiday. Way to go. Car-sharing platforms that allow people to rent out their vehicles is an option that anyone making last-minute plans should consider. The gap in corporate rental fleets could be filled by services like Truo and Getaround. The earnings for car owners on Truo increased tenfold, while rental bookings grew 220 percent.
