Yes there is enough rental capacity for air travelers. But there are substantially more vacationers traveling by car. There isn’t enough rental capacity for them and it wouldn’t make economic sense to keep rental capacity around for the surge of demand around holidays. Current rental capacity works because it is matched up to flight capacity, which is stable and predictable.
- emodendroket 5y agoI have my doubts that this is true among several axes: 1) do more people really travel by car? 2) how could air travel not be highly seasonal when school breaks generally line up? Hotels are certainly priced like it's seasonal. Don't they already have that problem? 3) If the scenario we were talking about became more commonplace, wouldn't we expect capacity to increase to meet demand?
