    What they don't mention in the article is the reason for the shortage...which of course will be covid, but did the rental companies just reduce the amount of cars due to lack of travelers?

    Major new car shortage right now. For various reasons auto makers cannot keep up with demand.
    Rental companies lease the cars on a fixed length contract, and once the contract is over the cars have to be turned in. With the wait-list for replacement cars so long, available cars are down.
     
    bzinger and TheLoadOut Thank this.

    I believe a lot of rental companies also liquidated much of their inventory due to covid and to free up funds
