Recently, the reporter visited a number of chain stores in the city's car rental platform physical store to understand that over half of the "Frequency" of the Spring Festival has been set out, the lower-priced economy car is "a hard to find." Under strong demand, the rental of some models even rose to three times that of normal times. But even so, a family of three hired a car to return home for the New Year and the cost was still lower than the ticket price, so many consumers chose to rent a car home at a high price.
Price rises 3 times still "a car is hard to find"
A survey by the reporter found that all major car rental websites had a “rented†model with a daily rent of less than RMB 300. The local car rental companies, Buick Excelle, Volkswagen Santana, and Citroën Elysee have also become “low-cost economical carsâ€. "Recruitment of goods", the rent between 250 yuan and 300 yuan, has been booked during most of the Spring Festival.
At the car rental store in Shenzhou, Mr. Ren said that the peak period of car rental in previous years was about one week before the Spring Festival. However, this year's peak time has obvious signs of advancement. The economical car with a high cost performance is currently “a vehicle difficult to obtainâ€. Mr. Tao, a staff member of the Car Rental South Building, said that during the New Year's Day, the car has been booked for the Spring Festival. Now the car in the shop has been rented more than half, the reservation rate is over 50%, and the price is the most favored economy and compact. The biggest increase was for models, which are usually less than 100 yuan per day. During the Spring Festival, the daily rent is nearly 300 yuan, which is about 3 times that of normal time.
Why is the car rental market so hot? According to industry sources, the travel needs of consumers such as travel and visiting relatives have increased. The more important is the change of travel concepts, and it has turned from relying on public transport to taking the initiative to seek a free and flexible travel mode. Mr. Tao said that according to the booking conditions of the store, during the Spring Festival, over 60% of rental cars are used to return home to visit relatives, and over 30% are self-driving tours.
Car rental is more cost effective than flying
Since car prices are also rising during the Spring Festival, is it cheaper to rent a car home than to fly? Mr. Xiao of the family in Nanjing, Jiangsu, calculated the accounts for the reporter: New Year's Eve departed from Tianjin and returned in the sixth grade. Now the ticket prices are mostly around 1300 yuan, equivalent to 9.5 fold, and the round-trip price is about 2,600 yuan. Even if a child can buy a half-price ticket, the cost of a family of three also costs 6,500 yuan. "More importantly, after arriving at the airport by plane, there is still some distance from my hometown and I still have to take a car."
If you rent a public 1.6L automatic transmission line, the daily rent is 285 yuan, renting about 2300 yuan for 8 days. “The distance between Tianjin and Nanjing is nearly 1,000 kilometers. According to the calculation of 6 yuan per liter of oil, the cost of round trip fuel is about 1,200 yuan. Because of the free high-speed traffic during the Spring Festival, the highway toll of around 900 yuan can be saved by round-trip. The family spent a total of about 3,500 yuan,†said Mr. Shaw. In comparison, although the car is relatively tired to drive and may experience high-speed congestion, it is still nearly half as cheap as flying.
