I'm starting to see rental car shortages. $221 a day to rent a car in Austin, TX. lol. Glad I booked early.

It's not that bad. I'm trying to book some vacations now and I'm not seeing crazy prices other than for occasional rental cars. Remember, Hertz went bankrupt and many car rental places downsized their fleets and sold off bunch of their cars while not ordering new ones because they didn't know when business traveler demand would bounce back. But leisure travelers have taken up some of the slack in demand and there are less inventory of cars out there now. These rental car companies pretty much operate on surge pricing model so when there is ample supply, rentals are dirt cheap. But when inventory is low and most are rented, you get the crazy surge pricing. And that's what is happening in Austin. Airport rentals are pretty much sold out. But I'm sure the ones in the city and suburbs are still available so people might have to rent it there and just take Uber to the car rental places in the city.yikes
demand and prices for vacation will be so high, i don't expect to go on a vacation until maybe 2025
I want this COVID madness to end. I would cancel my trip or just take Uber everywhere if I had to pay that stupid rate. I booked early so I'm paying less than that for 5 day rental.I miss COVID.
Last spring when my car was in the shop, I rented a series of cars for less than that per week.

Hotel and lodgings are fine unless you're trying to book near national parks. It's not like hotel supply went away.

Told you to go bald and be manly. Ask @Captante how to be bald and beautiful.
Owning a hatchback is kind of annoying when you park your car on the street all the time. Have to take everything out of the trunk out of fear someone will break in and take stuff. Didn't have to worry about that when I had a sedan with a proper trunk.
We do have a privacy cove in the vehicle. I just worry about what I can reasonably put in there. For example I had some replacement parts - wiper blades, air filter, cabin air filter, washer fluid, etc I wasn't sure about leaving these items in the trunk area. For peace of mind I like to take everything out of the trunk and leave the privacy canvas rolled up. Perhaps that is naiive and just something I do because it's a newer vehicle.Either grab a roll-out privacy cover if available for your ride or do what I do and put one of those big Rubbermaid bins w/lid back in the hatch area.
Still won't be quite as secure as a proper locked trunk but "out of sight out of mind" def applies here.
