Car rental rates increasing?

Does anyone know why car rental rates are increasing? My family and I went to Orlando last summer and spent about $130 to $140 to rent an Impala for the week. We plan to go back this summer. Everything increased a little (air, hotel, park tickets, etc.), but the car rental rates doubled. This year the rates are averaging about $270.00.





Also, does anyone know of any discount codes that are valid during the month of July? We've been looking on the Internet, but everything expires prior to this month.Car rental rates increasing?

Its called law of Supply and DemandCar rental rates increasing?
Try a different rental company, or booking it through your airline. We got cheaper rates through Southwest as opposed to booking just through Avis.





The auto industry is taking a blow - so some cars could be getting more expensive for rental company's to buy, making it more expensive for you? Don't quote me on that one though.
Well a lot of car rental companies are trying to make more money for their cars since not as many people and business's are renting them.
Our money hungary politicans added a daily tax on all rental cars last month. They stole all the toll road money, so they need more.
