I rented a car a few weeks ago. It was probably 15 min checking and checking out (even considering a bumped bumper) and cost me ~375 USD for the week all in, so ~50 USD a day.
I was afraid it would be much worse; I've heard of how crazy the car market has been in general. But I just didn't see it.
I also don't give a crap what exact model I get as long as it is roughly the form factor that is promised. I suppose if I was on a sunny vacation and wanted to joy ride, I may care. But then I'm probably use Turo or something.

This fall, we had our pick of vehicles in Chicago & Seattle, while we paid $5,000 for s 3-day minivan rental in Minneapolis. YMMV.
- kylehotchkiss 5y ago$5000 for 3 days in minivan? Was Uber XL not an option?
- Anechoic 5y agoNope, we needed to haul around equipment for field work.
- 1123581321 5y agoWow, are you sure you don't mean $500? I've seen vans going for $150/day this year, which is pretty rich compared to pre-covid. We also had a tough time getting a large passenger van, waitlisted until the day before, but still managed to pay $1500 for 10 days.
- stjohnswarts 5y agoyeah $5000 can't be right lol
- Anechoic 5y agoYep, $5,000 (a five, followed by 3 zeros). It was a late booking, and we needed the room to haul equipment (work trip). This was back in September. When we returned in October, prices were sane again.
- 1123581321 5y agoWow! Makes me less sore about paying $50/day more than I would've liked. :)
