There was a massive spike in rental prices this year since the rental companies in the US sold a good portion of their fleets when covid hit and travel disappeared. When travel started to come back, the rental companies discovered that they couldn't buy new cars due to supply chain issues. The result were prices in the $100-$500+ range in popular destinations. It's gotten a bit more reasonable recently.
