A traveler shared concerns about a significant increase in rental car prices. Using Costco to book rentals, they noticed that rates previously considered reasonable have recently risen sharply.
They provided an example of an SUV rental at DEN for June initially booked at $433 for 6 days, which later increased to over $1,800 for the same duration. The user noted that while they expected some fluctuation and planned to rebook if prices dropped, the opposite trend occurred. They also mentioned a previous experience at LAS where prices decreased significantly after booking.
The post highlights uncertainty around rental car pricing trends and the volatility travelers are currently experiencing in the car rental market.
