Prices shot up again?!

[Shooby doo]

BA/Avis prices look about the same £700-£800/week on a compact 4, I think it's going to be hard to tell & we all should have a better idea by the end of Q1 next year. It's going to take car availability to increase, the US is going to be no different to us in that there is still a shortage - a quick look at any car dealer & see how many have actual new car stock, most will state on order or arriving by IYKWIM. Like others it's supply & demand & if people are paying the crazy prices... as long as taxis/uber/lyft are under $130/day then whilst losing convenience we will be saving money

Virgin’s car hire prices have shot up today.
A minivan for my dates in July has been £1091 for months, but now it’s £1635!

Same had to move our holiday from feb to May and the suv we booked through virgin holidays when’re from just under £500 to over £1560
Crazy prices I ended up cancelling the car, checking a few sites and the prices are 3 times the normal price

Of course theres the car shortage but I would imagine all the car hire companies are keeping an eye on their competitors pricing and matching it up. This will help keep the prices high.

Like everything when prices do eventually start coming down it will be a slower more drawn out process than it needs to be. Customer always looses!

Our booking thru Virgin for next August was £590-odd... just done a dummy booking today, same pick-up/drop-off, same car (full-size SUV, Tahoe or similar), up to £835...

I don't expect rental car prices to go down much here in the US any time in the near future.

for the first time ever, we will not get a hire car ludicrous prices, be cheaper to buy one.

shame we couldnt have some dibb cars between us all to share, like you can get shares in boats and have so many weeks year
probably need a dibb villa also !

I just had a look for a friend a 7 seater in half term is more expensive than a villa

[Egon]

had the opportunity to book with BA for around £800 at the end of July, but thought it would come down. The prices has gone up by about £600. im absolutely kicking myself now

You can still get cheap deals if you look and are prepared for a little effort.

I have just rented a Group G premium car for £600 for three weeks from a hotel near Tampa Airport. It is with Hertz and includes LDW and SLI and an additional driver.
