Why would they lower their rates? Avis isn't a charity; they're in the business of making money. They know how much people are willing to pay for flexible car rental: at least $850 per month. No reason to lower the prices as long as people are still willing to pay.
- 3minus1 14y agoThere actually is a reason to lower the price if it results in more people who are willing to pay more often. I see your comment as the kneejerk libertarian response to anyone complaining about a price (without actually knowing any details about whatever market is being talked about), and it annoys me.
