WTH is up with the cost of rental cars????

[DQ2B]

Almost $500 for a one week rental this summer! Holy cow, it was less than $200 two summers ago.

Geez, I wonder.

I just got a rental car yesterday at the rate of $22 and change per day, which equals out to $154 for a week.

Granted, I didn't get a smokin' hot fast car (just a new Toyota Sienna mini-van), but it's still a nice vehicle.

Where did you get these figures from?

All the usual places, travelocity, cheaptickets, orbitz, hotwire as well as the individual car rental company sites. And the price was starting at economy!

Which rental company did you get that rate from? I have a friend looking to rent a van for a week next month.
