Rental Car Shortage - Everything You Need To Know and How to Plan
If you have an upcoming trip and are planning to rent a car, don’t wait until the last minute to look for a vehicle. Due to a nationwide inventory shortage and an uptick in the number of passengers booking travel, the reservation process may be more difficult and expensive than you have experienced in the past.
Don’t let renting a car be an afterthought. Plan ahead and book your rental car as soon as possible ahead of your trip. Also plan to check with your rental car company to confirm your reservation ahead of your trip.
