The RateMonitor Elite platform provides real-time market data and analytics to optimize rates.
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.
