We've been holding off booking our car hire until we felt more comfortable that there was a good chance of actually being out to fly out to Tampa this August.

We had a quick look a few months back and the prices seemed OK - little more than previous years but nothing major (we've been using US Car Hire for 10+ years now and love them so wouldn't bother shopping around)

However, we got another quote tonight and the price has completely rocketed by over $500

Have I maybe peaked too early and their prices reflect the fact that no-one is currently hiring or have they seen a major surge in bookings hence the hike?

Would be good to know if others have any knowledge or Roger can add his wisdom? Thanks.
