Rate quotes have been up each week year over year since the June 2 survey — a continuous run of 27 weeks.
In October, the deseasonalized average at $54.41 and the $8.37 year-over-year increase are the highest rates since the one-month recall shortage spike in July 2014.
In September, airport rates in the southeast region were up $10.06 over last year, though Southwest rates (Houston) were up only $1.18.
August airport rates were up $3.45 over last year. Hurricane Harvey’s devastation will have a major effect on the Texas vehicle rental industry, but it didn’t significantly affect rates in August.
July was the second month of strong year-over-year rates, up $6.48 from a year ago. The Northeast region had the highest rates with an increase of $15.17.
After six straight months of negative comparisons, June airport rates were up $6.37 over last year.
In May, the rate quotes were down $1.44 — the sixth month in a row that rates have been down. The Northeast and Midwest regions were up $8.39 and $6.16, respectively. Boston had the highest average rate quote of $94.13.
April 2017 rate quotes were down again, continuing a pattern of year-over-year losses in six of the last seven months. The Northeast region had the highest rate at $57.27 — $19.55 higher than the lowest Southwest average of $38.72.
March airport quotes continued to drop for the fourth consecutive month, with the quote down $6.42 from last March. All regions but the Midwest were down, with the Northwest down $13.24 — the biggest decrease in the five regions.
February’s average nationwide quote was down $4.49 from last February after decreases of $1.02 in December and $3.87 in January. All regions were down, with the Northwest down $10.92 — the biggest decrease in the five regions.
