(MENAFN- GetNews)
In 2021, used-car sales in America hit a record of 40.90 million vehicles. As the pandemic enters its third year, more and more automakers are restoring capacity, but demand for cars still exceeds supply.
In a predominantly worsening economic environment, with various issues being encountered in the production of new cars, it is difficult for automakers to solve the fundamental problems they are facing. A BMW spokesman said that the company would not be able to pass on their increased production costs caused by rising energy prices and the serious inflation in the European auto market, which is itself a result of the soaring prices of chips, raw materials, and freight transportation.
On the other hand, the car rental industry, as a major vehicle consumer, has seen a surge in orders as tourism gradually recovered following the introduction of vaccines. The price of used cars has gone up due to chip shortages, and many car rental companies have even turned around to purchase used cars, further driving up the demand for used cars.
The most immediate and significant effect of the rental car shortage are the skyrocketing prices. According to available data, global car rental costs rose by as much as 48% in 2022. A survey of car rental companies shows that some vehicles are renting for more than $300 a day in areas of high demand, with even higher rates in places such as the Gulf Coast, southern California, Florida and South Carolina. Florida was especially affected at the beginning of the year, with most airports running out of cars for tourists
