Rental Car Prices...Any thoughts on when they may come down?

Nothing is coming down for this summer, travel demand is through the roof

Do some googling and find the state of Louisiana Enterprise corporate code. I used it in Bozeman and saved close to $1k on a suburban for 5 days.

I flew into Bozeman last year and rental cars were expensive and hard to get. I booked at the off-sight Enterprise in Bozeman and took an uber both ways with the family. I saved about $600 doing that, and they upgraded me into a Yukon from a car for $100 more for 8 days.

Had a similar example a few years ago in Anchorage, Alaska. Rental cars at the airport were through the roof. Rented from their downtown location and it was HALF of what they wanted to charge at the airport. Funny thing was I had to ride with the manager of the downtown site to the airport to get our vehicle anyway, because they were out of SUVs downtown ... Hotel also had a shuttle so we had free transport from the airport to the hotel when we arrived, just had to get to that downtown location the next morning.

I'd also add, with Enterprise I book a reservation as soon as I have my details finalized. Then, I price it habitually after. If the price drops, you book a fresh reservation and cancel your original.

Just booked Turo for the first time. Pickup BOI drop off GEG. All I had to do was message the owner to ask if he would accomodate. He added a few hundred dollars and I got a mid-size SUV for 7 days @ $1400. Cheapest online rental was @ $3500. If this works seamlessly, I will never rent from another site.

just used Avis after pricing multiple they usually offer a 35% off coupon as well.. had booked a month out since I had kept shopping prices. was 200 cheaper than most. Had 0 issues with them as well.

I've rented 3x since that time period. Only once did we get a vehicle that may have been on its last leg....

I think the city you rent in along with the location (airport, rural, etc) plays huge factors into what type of vehicle or the amount of vehicles available.
